Quran what is a hizb

Each Surah of the Holy Quran is divided into Ayat. Generally the ayat in english writing is called verse. Total number of ayat in the Holy Quran is six thousand two hundred and thirty six Division of the Holy Quran into Suwar and Ayat is the divine as it was inspired to the prophet Muhammad by Allah, so it is considered a genuine quality of the Noble Quran.

There are some other types of division that is Ajza, Ahzab and Rukuat, which was the result of the efforts done in this regard by some Muslim scholars. The Holy Quran has been divided into 30 equal aprts called Ajza for the convenience of the reader of the Holy Quran, so that one can easily recite the entire Quran during 30 days especially in the month of Ramadhan. In this context, we can say that it means that one verse of the Quran elaborates, interrupts and gives such a shred of beautiful evidence or argument for the previous verse.

For instance:. And the next verse is explaining what is the right path. Qur and Aan. Qur refers to read and Aan refers to repeatability or continuity. When we gather meaning, something that should be recited or read continuously or repeatedly. In one go it is really difficult to grasp the understanding of the Quran.

Quran is needed to read over and over again for better understanding. Half of the length of the juz of the Quran is called Hizb. There are 60 Hizb in the Holy Quran. Each Hizb consists of four quarters. These quarters are known as Rubu. There are Surahs in the Quran.

The all Surahs of the Holy Quran have not any specific length. This Surah is also known as the Umm ul Quran or mother of the Quran. But what was narrated by some of the scholars is that the first one to do that was al-Hajjaaj ibn Yoosuf ath-Thaqafi d.

That was at the time of al-Hajjaaj and afterwards. It was narrated that al-Hajjaaj issued orders that that be done, and from Iraq this practice spread everywhere, but the people of Madinah did not know about that. They used to divide it sometimes on the basis of the number of verses, so they would say: fifty verses, or sixty verses; and sometimes it would be based on the soorahs, but the idea that they divided it into seven parts on the basis of the number of verses was not narrated or mentioned by anyone, so they must have divided it on the basis of the soorahs, not the verses.

The Prophet blessings and peace of Allah be upon him and his companions usually recited an entire soorah such as Qaaf and the like in the prayer. As reciting from the end or middle of a soorah, that was not a common practice among them, hence it is something to be avoided, as it is makrooh.

Concerning that there is a well-known difference of opinion in the madhhab of Ahmad and among other scholars. That is akin to dividing it on the basis of soorahs, which is also approximate. When dividing it into groups of seven soorahs, some soorahs may be longer than others in terms of letters, and in that there is a great interest to be served by continuing to read until the meaning is complete, and to begin reading a soorah from the beginning, as Allah revealed it, and to end it as Allah ended it, and continuing to read in order to understand the meaning conveyed in each soorah.

This is what we see in some regions of North Africa. Is that permissible? Nevertheless, the matter is broad in scope. Was this answer helpful? No Yes. Password should contain small, capital letter and at least 8 characters long. Log in Create an account.
