Most Juz' are named after the first word of the first verse of the Juz'. Each Juz' is divided into two
Hizb (lit. "two groups", plural: Aḥzāb). Therefore, there are 60 Hizbs in the Quran. Each Hizb is subdivided into four quarters called
Maqraʼ (lit. "reading"), making eight quarters per Juz'. There are 240 Maqraʼs in the Quran. The Maqraʼ are often used as practical sections for revision when memorizing the Quran. The most commonly memorized Juz' is
Juzʼ Amma, the 30th Juz', containing chapters (
Surahs) 78 through 114, with most of the shortest chapters of the Quran. ==List==
