Quran Structure

Rub’

رُبْع · /rubʕ/

A Rub' is one quarter of a Hizb, one of the smaller standard units used to divide the Quran.

What does Rub’ mean?

Since a Hizb splits into four Arba' (plural of Rub'), this smaller division helps reciters track progress in fine detail during memorization or a structured daily reading plan.
