Rewards for complete recitation of the Holy Qur'an is considered as a touchstone in specifying rewards for other good deeds that is why the rewards for good deeds are compared with the reward of Khatm al-Qur'an. In addition, a number of supplications are recommended to be recited after Khatm al-Qur'an, including the Forty Second Du'a in al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya which is an important and comprehensive one.
In Islamic societies, Khatm al-Qur'an is performed both individually and collectively.
According to Islamic culture, numerous rewards and spiritual effects have been mentioned on complete recitation of the Qur'an, which on a whole, adds a great deal to the likelihood of acceptance of du'as (supplications). Khatm al-Qurʾān (Arabic: ختم القرآن) means recitation of the Holy Qur'an from the beginning to the end.
