Quran khwani invitation message and card wording
By the eInvite team · Updated · 5 min read
A Quran khwani invitation starts with Bismillah, says why the gathering is held (isal-e-sawab for someone who has passed away, blessings for a new home or business, or before a wedding), then gives the day, date, the time the recitation starts, the time of the dua, and the address. Copy-ready Quran khwani card wording and WhatsApp messages in English, Roman Urdu and Urdu are below.
A Quran khwani (also written Quran khawani) is a gathering where family, friends and neighbours recite the Quran together, usually ending with a dua. Families hold one for the isal-e-sawab of a loved one, for barakah in a new home or shop, before a wedding, or simply to give thanks. The invitation is short and plain: guests mostly need the reason, the time and the place.
Want it as a picture card for WhatsApp? The free Quran khwani card maker writes these lines for you in English or Urdu, with the dua time.
Quran khwani invitation format, line by line
| Line | Example |
|---|---|
| Opening | Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim |
| The occasion | Quran Khwani for the Isal-e-Sawab of our father |
| Name (if for someone who has passed) | Tariq Mehmood (marhoom) |
| Day and date | Sunday, 13 December 2026 |
| Times | Quran Khwani from 10:00 am, Dua at 12:00 pm |
| Place | Tariq House, DHA Phase 5, Lahore |

Give two times: when the recitation starts and when the dua is. Many guests come only for the dua, and it saves the family a lot of phone calls. If ladies sit separately, or the gathering is for ladies only, say so on the card.

Assalam o Alaikum! Alhamdulillah, we've moved into our new home. We're having a Quran Khwani and Dua on Friday, 18 December, after Asr (4:30 pm), with dinner after the dua. We'd love you to be there.
Assalam o Alaikum, a gentle reminder: the Quran Khwani is tomorrow at 10 am and the dua at 12. The location pin is below. JazakAllah khair.
Good to know before you send it
- Send the location pin straight after the message. Most guests open the map, not the address.
- Say whether a meal (or niaz) follows the dua, so guests know how long to plan for.
- Say if ladies sit separately or if it is for ladies only.
- For isal-e-sawab, keep the tone simple: no emojis or decorative fonts.
- Write the time as guests will read it on the day: "after Asr, 4:30 pm" is clearer than "after Asr" alone.
