During medieval times, when it was too costly for most Muslims to purchase a manuscript, copies of the Qurʼān were kept in mosques and made accessible to people; these copies frequently took the form of a series of thirty parts (''juzʼ''). Some use these divisions to facilitate recitation of the Qurʼān in a month—such as during Ramadan, when the entire Qurʼān is recited in the ''Tarawih'' prayers, typically at the rate of one ''juzʼ'' a night.
