What is in juz 26?
Juz 26 covers 6 surahs — 3 Meccan and 3 Medinan — across pages 502–521 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 46, verse 1, to surah 51, verse 30.
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 26 begins wherever the previous 25 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 26 falls on day 26. At roughly 20 pages and 195 verses, it averages about 10 verses a page.
