What is in juz 22?
Juz 22 covers 4 surahs — 3 Meccan and 1 Medinan — across pages 422–441 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 33, verse 31, to surah 36, verse 27.
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 22 begins wherever the previous 21 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 22 falls on day 22. At roughly 20 pages and 169 verses, it averages about 8 verses a page.
