How to Draw a Ramadan Koran — Let’s get started!
Step 1 – Draw a Tilted Diamond.
Let’s start with something simple! Begin by drawing a diamond shape — but here’s the twist: tilt it slightly to one side so it looks like it’s leaning or floating in the air.
Tip: You can imagine it like a kite or a rhombus lying down. This will become one of the open pages of the Quran.
Use light pencil strokes for now. It’s okay to sketch gently and go over it later when you’re happy with the shape. Think of this as setting the stage for your magical drawing!
Step 2 – Split the Diamond into Two Halves.
Now, draw a vertical line down the center of your tilted diamond.
This line divides your diamond into two parts — these represent the two open pages of the Quran.
Top Tip: Try to keep the line straight. A ruler can help make it clean and neat.
Now your shape looks like a gently opened book. You’re already doing a great job!
Step 3 – Shape the Open Book.
Let’s make it look more like a real book!
From the bottom corners of your two triangle halves, draw slightly slanted lines going downward. These should curve a little and point outward from the center.
Think of them as the bottom page edges — like when you look at an open book from above.
Helpful Hint: Try to keep both sides even. That makes your book look more balanced and realistic.
This step helps your Quran take shape. Now it’s not just a flat page — it’s a real open book!
Step 4 – Add the Book’s Bottom Layers.
Time to add some depth!
Right below the lines you just drew, sketch another set of lines that mimic the shape of the bottom edges. These will act like the book’s second and third layers — like a stack of pages.
You’re giving your book a spine and thickness so it doesn’t look like a single sheet of paper.
Creative Tip: Use slightly darker pencil strokes here so the layers stand out—similar to shading techniques used in this adorable skunk tutorial.
Now your Quran drawing looks more three-dimensional — almost like you could reach out and turn the pages!
Step 5 – Begin Drawing the Book Stand (Rehal).
The Quran is usually placed on a special stand called a rehal when it’s being read. Let’s draw one!
From the bottom edge of the right side of your book, draw a long diagonal line going down and out to the right. This is one half of the stand.
It should look like a wooden plank supporting your book.
Fun Fact: A rehal is often hand-carved from wood and can fold up like scissors. Isn’t that clever?
This step brings a beautiful traditional touch to your drawing.
Step 6 – Add the Second Leg of the Rehal.
Now we’re going to balance the stand. Draw another diagonal line, this time crossing over the first one and going down to the left.
This forms an “X” shape underneath the Quran, just like a real book stand.
Top Tip: Try to make both sides of the “X” about the same length. Symmetry helps make your drawing look polished.
Great work! You’ve built a strong base for the Quran to rest on.
Step 7 – Strengthen and Finish the Stand.
Let’s give the stand more structure and detail. Add straight lines around the outer edges of the “X” legs to make them look thicker.
These extra lines create a sense of depth and stability.
Now your rehal looks like solid wooden boards instead of just sticks.
Realism Tip: Add small woodgrain textures or lines for extra detail and flair.
You’re almost done! Your Quran is sitting beautifully on its stand.
Step 8 – Add Verses Inside the Quran.
The most important part of the Quran is its verses — called ayahs in Arabic.
Let’s explore how to draw Quran pages to bring the illustration to life!
Inside each half of the open Quran, draw three or four wavy horizontal lines. These waves represent the flowing Arabic script.
Fun Twist: Make the lines smooth, not too straight. The gentle curves will look more like real calligraphy.
Even if you can’t write Arabic, this step shows that the pages are filled with sacred words.
Step 9 – Color Your Drawing!
Time to bring your masterpiece to life with color!
Here’s a guide to make your drawing pop:
- Pages: Use cream, beige, or light yellow.
- Book Edges: Add bold red or maroon for the binding.
- Stand (Rehal): Use browns — light for highlights, dark for shadows.
- Text: Leave the wavy lines black or go over them with dark brown or gray.
- Extra Touches: Add gold dots or sparkle lines around the edges for a festive feel!
Pro Tip: Colored pencils or crayons work great for a soft finish. You can also use gel pens or metallic markers for decoration.
And just like that — your Ramadan Quran drawing is complete!

Tips and Tricks for Better Drawing
Even if your first drawing doesn’t turn out perfect, don’t worry! Many artists improve over time—just like when we learned how to draw a skunk step by step.
- Be Bold with Colors
Don’t be afraid to use vibrant or metallic colors for decoration—just like we did in our woodpecker coloring tutorial where feathers come to life with color! - Use Light Pencil Strokes First
This helps you fix mistakes easily. Trace over with a darker line when you’re ready. - Practice the Diamond Shape
It can be tricky! Try sketching a few on scrap paper before your final version. - Make It Your Own
Add borders, stars, moons, or even a nameplate on the Quran’s cover! - Use Rulers for Straight Lines
Clean lines make everything look sharper and more professional.
