Surahs in this juz
Juz divisions are a reading convention rather than a revealed one, so most begin and end partway through a surah.
Hifz
Memorising this juz
16–28 weeks at two supervised lessons a week, with daily revision in between.
The range reflects how much is revised between lessons more than anything else — a student who revises daily finishes near the lower figure.
Memorise it with a revision plan
Hifz lessons carry a daily portion, a revision cycle and a written record of what has been retained.

Questions about memorising a juz
Where does juz 16 start and end?
It begins at surah 18, ayah 75, and ends at surah 20, ayah 135. Most juz begin and end partway through a surah, because the divisions exist to split the Quran into thirty roughly equal readings rather than to follow natural breaks.
How long does juz 16 take to memorise?
Around 16 to 28 weeks at a steady daily portion. It is a range because it depends on the age of the student, the daily portion agreed and how much revision they keep up.
What does juz 16 cover?
Musa and Khidr, Dhul-Qarnayn, Maryam and ‘Isa and Musa before Fir‘awn.
Is revision 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 the daily portion and what has actually been retained.
Do you teach juz 16 in lessons?
Yes, one to one with a tutor matched to the age and level of the student. The free trial is a real lesson and ends with a written assessment, with no payment details asked for.
