What is in juz 2?
Juz 2 covers 1 surah — 0 Meccan and 1 Medinan — across pages 22–41 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 2, verse 142, to surah 2, verse 252.
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 2 begins wherever the previous 1 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 2 falls on day 2. At roughly 20 pages and 111 verses, it averages about 6 verses a page.
