What is in juz 16?
Juz 16 covers 3 surahs — 3 Meccan and 0 Medinan — across pages 293–321 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 18, verse 75, to surah 20, verse 135. It contains 1 verse of prostration, at 19:58.
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 16 begins wherever the previous 15 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 16 falls on day 16. At roughly 29 pages and 269 verses, it averages about 9 verses a page.
