Saad

/sɑːd/ noun

Definition

In Islamic tradition, one of the 30 sections (juz) of the Quran used to divide the scripture for reading during Ramadan.

Etymology

From Arabic 'juz,' which means 'part' or 'section.' The Quranic divisions were created for practical purposes to ensure the entire text could be read over the month of Ramadan.

Kelly Says

The Quran was deliberately divided into 30 equal parts so Muslims could read one section every day during Ramadan, which is why this ancient religious text is probably better distributed and memorized than any modern book.
