Most Juz' are named after the first word of the first verse of the Juz'.<ref>[http://www.ilaam.net/PDF/QuranOrg.pdf ''ORGANIZATION OF THE QUR'AN'' by M. Amir Ali] ilaam.net</ref>
Each Juz' is divided into two ''Hizb'' (lit. "two groups", plural: Aḥzāb). Therefore, there are 60 Hizbs in the Quran. 

Each Hizb is subdivided into four quarters called ''Maqraʼ'' (lit. "reading"), making eight quarters per Juz'. There are 240 Maqraʼs in the Quran. The Maqraʼ are often used as practical sections for revision when memorizing the Quran.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://mirror.hmc.edu/ctan/macros/xetex/latex/quran/doc/quran-doc.pdf|title=The quran Package|last=Razavian|first=Seiied Mohammad Javad|date=22 December 2017|website=[[Harvey Mudd College]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180813022048/http://mirror.hmc.edu/ctan/macros/xetex/latex/quran/doc/quran-doc.pdf|archive-date=13 August 2018|url-status=live|access-date=13 August 2018}}</ref>
 	
The most commonly memorized Juz' is ''Juzʼ Amma'', the 30th Juz', containing chapters (''[[Surah]]s'') 78 through 114, with most of the shortest chapters of the Quran.
