What is in juz 1?
Juz 1 covers 2 surahs — 1 Meccan and 1 Medinan — across pages 1–49 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 1, verse 1, to surah 2, verse 141.
Read one juz a day and the Quran is completed in a month, which is why this division exists at all — it is a measure of quantity, not of subject, so juz 1 begins wherever the previous 0 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 1 falls on day 1. At roughly 49 pages and 148 verses, it averages about 3 verses a page.
