Sheikh Dr. Abdulrahman Al-Sudais, the President and Chief Imam of Masjid al-Haram, will lead the Masjid al-Haram congregation on the 17 march 2026, 29th night of Ramadan 1447 AH to lead the Khatam al-Quran dua — the supplication that marks the full completion of the Quran's recitation during Taraweeh prayers.

For Sheikh Al-Sudais, this will be his 36th consecutive Khatam al-Quran dua at Masjid al-Haram, an unbroken record of devotion spanning more than three decades.

## What Is Khatam al-Quran?

Khatam al-Quran refers to the completion of the full recitation of the Quran, traditionally accomplished across the Taraweeh prayers of Ramadan.

The Khatam al-Quran at Masjid al-Haram is scheduled for the 29th night of Ramadan (17 March 2026) during Taraweeh prayer.

The dua itself is expected to last approximately 30 minutes.

## Important Notice for Pilgrims

Worshippers planning to attend the 29th night Taraweeh at Masjid al-Haram should take note of the re-entry restriction. Once in place, those who exit the mosque will not be permitted back inside.

Pilgrims are advised to prepare accordingly — bringing water, arranging any necessary provisions beforehand, and arriving early enough to secure a place within the mosque before the restriction takes effect.
