Juz’un (pl.ajza) literally means part or portion. The Qur’an is derived in 30 portions of appropriately equal length for easy recitation during the thirty nights of Ramadan.
The learning of the Qur’an in view of its technical nature normally takes some time. Pupils learning the book often spend months and even years before graduation. One easy way of ensuring that a pupil completes the learning in good time is to divide the entire period along the Juz’un. By this, a child will move from one Juz’un to another. Some ceremonies are held for such completion.
Today, in order to further enhance effective recitation of the Qur’an, the holy book is printed in 30 volumes. Thus, with 30 good reciters, the whole Qur’an can be recited through the Juz’un arrangement.
