The Holy Quran is divided in several ways. These divisions are used for reading, memorization, and organizing community Hatim readings.
6,236 verses
The smallest unit of the Quran. Each ayah is a sentence or phrase.
114 surahs
The chapters of the Quran. Each surah consists of one or more ayahs. The shortest has 3 ayahs (Al-Kawthar), the longest has 286 (Al-Baqarah).
30 juz
The Quran is divided into 30 equal parts. During Ramadan, one juz is read each day to complete the Quran in a month.
60 hizbs
Each juz is divided into two hizbs. This is the standard division used in Ottoman and Medina mushafs.
240 units
Each hizb is divided into four quarters. They are marked in the mushaf margins with ¼, ½, ¾ symbols.
604 pages
The standard page count of the Medina mushaf. Each page contains approximately 15 lines of Quran text.
When creating a Hatim on Khatma Together, you can choose one of four division types. Each type offers a different number of units — Juz (30) for small groups, Page (604) for large groups.

When you reserve a section of the Quran, you have 10 times the estimated reading time to complete it. After that, the reservation is automatically released so others can continue. Example: For a Hizb (~26 min reading time), you have about 4 hours.
