Short description: Division of the Quran into seven sections for recitation in a week

For the convenience of those who read the Quran in a week the text may be divided into seven portions, each known as Manzil.[1]

The following division to 7 equal portions is by Hamzah az-Zaiyyat (d.156/772):[1]

  1. Al-Fatiha (chapter 1) through an-Nisa (chapter 4) consisting of 4 chapters (Surah).
  2. Al-Ma'idah (chapter 5) through at-Tawbah (chapter 9) consisting of 5 chapters.
  3. Yunus (chapter 10) through an-Nahl (chapter 16) consisting of 7 chapters.
  4. al-Isra (chapter 17) through al-Furqan (chapter 25) consisting of 9 chapters.
  5. ash-Shu'ara' (chapter 26) through Ya-Sin (chapter 36) consisting of 11 chapters.
  6. as-Saaffat (chapter 37) through al-Hujurat (chapter 49) consisting of 13 chapters.
