The division of the Qur'an into 30 parts is not divinely ordained. Neither the Prophet ﷺ nor his companions (Sahaba) did it. This practice originated in Iraq during the second century of the Hijrah, in the time of the Tabi-Tabi’oon (two generations after the Sahaba). It was introduced in early Islam to facilitate completing the Qur'an in one month, with each part (juz) read daily. In contrast, the division into surahs is divinely ordained. In Arabic, a single part is called a juz (plural: ajza), while in the Indian subcontinent, these divisions are known as paras or siparahs.
