A ''juzʼ'' (Arabic: جُزْءْ, plural: ''ajzāʼ'', literally meaning "part") is one of thirty parts of varying lengths into which the Quran is divided.

Division into ''ajzāʼ'' has no relevance to the meaning of the Qurʼān and anyone can start reading. from anywhere in the Qurʼān. 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.

H. after the Battle of Badr, the first defensive clash between Meccans and Muslim people of Medina after they fled from persecution in Mecca .
