Juz

A Juz’ (plural: Ajza’) is one of the thirty equal parts into which the Quran is divided. This division is not based on the chapters (Surahs) themselves, but is a practical arrangement to make it easier for a person to complete the recitation of the entire Quran over a thirty-day month, especially during Ramadan. Each Juz’ contains approximately 20 pages of the standard Arabic text. In many mosques around the world, one Juz’ is recited each night during the "Tarawih" prayers of Ramadan. Understanding the divisions of the Ajza’ helps a Muslim maintain a consistent relationship with the Book of Allah, ensuring that no part of the Divine message is neglected in their regular reading and reflection.
