juz (enc)
|
JuzA juz (Arabic: جز) literally means "part." It is most commonly seen in English to refer to one of the 30 divisions of the Qur'an. The Qur'an is divided into 30 parts to make it easy to recite the entire text during the tarawih prayers in the month of Ramadan, by reciting one juz each night. The phrase juz amma' refers to the last 30th of the Qur'an, comprising suras 78-114. It is common for more casual students of Islam to memorize this final juz of the Qur'an, as opposed to becoming a complete hafiz.
