What is in juz 23?
Juz 23 covers 4 surahs — 4 Meccan and 0 Medinan — across pages 440–467 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 36, verse 28, to surah 39, verse 31. It contains 1 verse of prostration, at 38:24.
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 23 begins wherever the previous 22 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 23 falls on day 23. At roughly 28 pages and 357 verses, it averages about 13 verses a page.
