What is in juz 12?
Juz 12 covers 2 surahs — 2 Meccan and 0 Medinan — across pages 222–241 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 11, verse 6, to surah 12, verse 52.
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 12 begins wherever the previous 11 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 12 falls on day 12. At roughly 20 pages and 170 verses, it averages about 9 verses a page.
