The Quran

The 30 juz of the Quran

The Quran is divided into thirty roughly equal parts so it can be completed in a month. The divisions are a reading convention rather than a revealed one, which is why most juz begin and end partway through a surah.

Memorise it with a revision plan

Hifz lessons carry a daily portion, a revision cycle and a written record of what has actually been retained.

Before you book

Questions about the thirty juz

Why do most juz start partway through a surah?

Because the divisions are a reading convention rather than a revealed one. They exist so the Quran can be completed in a month, which means they fall at roughly equal lengths rather than at natural breaks.

Which juz do people usually memorise first?

Juz 30, because it holds the short surahs recited most often in prayer. After that many students take juz 29 and 1, though a tutor will set the order against the student.

How long does one juz take to memorise?

It depends on age, daily portion and how much revision the student keeps up. The Hifz course page gives a range rather than a single figure, for that reason.

Is revision really as important as new memorisation?

More so, over time. Memorisation without a revision cycle is the most common reason a student loses what they have learned, which is why our Hifz lessons record both.

If your question is not here, ask it. We would rather answer honestly now than have you find out after enrolling.
