What is in juz 17?
Juz 17 covers 2 surahs — 1 Meccan and 1 Medinan — across pages 322–341 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 21, verse 1, to surah 22, verse 78. It contains 2 verses of prostration, at 22:18, 22:77.
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 17 begins wherever the previous 16 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 17 falls on day 17. At roughly 20 pages and 190 verses, it averages about 10 verses a page.
