What is in juz 9?
Juz 9 covers 2 surahs — 1 Meccan and 1 Medinan — across pages 162–181 of the standard 604-page mushaf. It runs from surah 7, verse 88, to surah 8, verse 40. It contains 1 verse of prostration, at 7:206.
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 9 begins wherever the previous 8 left off rather than at a surah boundary. On that schedule juz 9 falls on day 9. At roughly 20 pages and 159 verses, it averages about 8 verses a page.
