What is in juz 3?

Juz 3 covers 2 surahs — 0 Meccan and 2 Medinan — across pages 2–76 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 2, verse 253, to surah 3, verse 92.

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 3 begins wherever the previous 2 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 3 falls on day 3. At roughly 75 pages and 126 verses, it averages about 2 verses a page.
