What is in juz 20?
Juz 20 covers 3 surahs — 3 Meccan and 0 Medinan — across pages 377–404 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 27, verse 56, to surah 29, verse 45. It contains 1 verse of prostration, at 27:26.
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 20 begins wherever the previous 19 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 20 falls on day 20. At roughly 28 pages and 171 verses, it averages about 6 verses a page.
