What is in juz 21?
Juz 21 covers 5 surahs — 4 Meccan and 1 Medinan — across pages 396–427 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 29, verse 46, to surah 33, verse 30. It contains 1 verse of prostration, at 32:15.
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 21 begins wherever the previous 20 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 21 falls on day 21. At roughly 32 pages and 178 verses, it averages about 6 verses a page.
