The first rukoo' (رکوع) in the Qur’an actually occurs in Para 1.
The rukoo' refers to a thematic or subject-based division in the Qur’an used mainly in printed mushafs to organize recitation. Each rukoo' groups a set of verses that share a related topic, making it easier for reciters to pause and reflect. These divisions are especially useful during congregational prayers and structured Quranic study.
The first rukoo' appears in Surah Al-Fatiha or right at the beginning of Surah Al-Baqarah depending on the format and mushaf. The first full rukoo' by technical format begins in Surah Al-Baqarah and covers verses 1 to 5, which describe the characteristics of the Muttaqeen (righteous).
This organizational structure was introduced for convenience in recitation and teaching but is not part of the original textual revelation.
