Divisions of the Quran

The 60 hizb of the Quran

The Quran is divided into 60 hizb, two in each juz, and every hizb into four quarters — 240 in all. Each quarter begins at the ۞ sign in the mushaf. The table gives the verse where every quarter starts, so you can find any hizb or quarter directly.

“Starts” is the first quarter; ¼, ½ and ¾ are where the second, third and fourth quarters begin. Pages are those of the 604-page Madinah mushaf.

Hizb, juz and manzil

The hizb sits between the two larger divisions. Two hizb make a juz, so hizb 29 and 30 together are juz 15; four quarters make a hizb, so a quarter is one eighth of a juz. The seven manzils are a separate division by whole surahs, made for reading in a week, and do not line up with the hizb.

Common questions

How many hizb are in the Quran?

60. There are two in each of the 30 juz, and each hizb is split into four quarters, so the mushaf has 240 quarter-hizb marks in all.

How many hizb are in one juz?

Two. Each juz begins with an odd-numbered hizb — juz 1 with hizb 1, juz 2 with hizb 3 — and the even-numbered hizb starts halfway through it.

What is rub al-hizb?

Rub‘ al-hizb means "a quarter of a hizb". Each hizb is divided into four, so a quarter is an eighth of a juz.

What does the ۞ symbol in the Quran mean?

It is the rub el-hizb sign. In the mushaf it marks where a quarter-hizb begins, alongside the juz and hizb numbers in the margin. It is a reader's division marker, like a chapter-section mark, and it is encoded in Unicode as U+06DE ARABIC START OF RUB EL HIZB.

Where does hizb 1 start and end?

Hizb 1 begins at Al-Fatihah 1:1 and ends at Al-Baqarah 2:74. Its four quarters start at Al-Fatihah 1:1, Al-Baqarah 2:26, Al-Baqarah 2:44, Al-Baqarah 2:60.
