What are the names of the other parts of the Qur'an besides "Juz' 'Amma"?
The thirty parts of the Qur’an do not have specific, authentically transmitted names because the division of the Qur’an into thirty parts and sixty hizb (sections) was an act of (independent reasoning) by Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf Al-Thaqafi, and not an act of divine instruction authentically transmitted from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, nor from his Companions. Furthermore, no specific names for these parts were reported from the Companions or the Tabi’in. The names commonly used today for some parts (such as Juz’ ‘Amma, Tabarak) were innovated by the memorizers of the Qur’an and students of its sciences for ease of reference, and are not authentically transmitted.
