Introduction

Al Quran was originally arranged in 114 Surah (chapter) but for its regular recitation it was subdivided into 7 Manzil so that one reading of the book gets rendered in a week. The entire book has also been subdivided into 30 Para to render one reading in a month. Ruku is a thematic division of Al Quran; ayat (verse) are so grouped that a theme is covered when it is recited in a rakat of salat. Texts of 36 Surah of Al Quran is of the length of one ruku only but other Surah has longer texts and so has been subdivided into multiple ruku; altogether there are 558 ruku in Al Quran. Historically, the credit for this thematic arrangement goes to Hajjaj bin Yusuf, the governor of Iraq (694 - 714 AD = 74 - 94 AH) who is also credited for application of e'raab (diacritical or vowel marks in script such as zabar, zer, pesh, etc.) for better pronounciation of the verses of Al Quran by a non-Arabic. The theme presented here is taken from 'List of Rukus from Translation of the Holy Quran by Muhammad Farooq-e-Azam Malik' available on internet. ​Accompanying the theme is the Arabic text of the ruku written through a software. The English translation of the ruku is rendered by Ustadh Abdullah Yusuf Ali and improved by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Fahad Complex, Madina. The Hindi translation of the ruku is the transliteration of the Tarjuma e Quran Majeed in Urdu by Syed Abul Ala Maududi published by Markazi Maktaba Islami Publishers, New Delhi. Also accompanying is the audio commentary of the ruku from Tafhimul Quran of Syed Abul Ala Maududi rendered by Markazi Maktaba Islami Publishers. We would highly appreciate if someone suggests improvements to  the compilation to mosharrafhussain@gmail.com. Jazāk Allāh Khair.  

​These ruku have been arranged Manzil wise as follows:
