There are '''33 occurrences''', including 10 occurrences with a prefix and including the word ''shamsan'' (the heat of sun). | |||
In calculating a total number, one must decide whether to count singular/plural versions and ones with/without prefixes/suffixes. | |||

*(*) In the verse 10:5, the word ''noor'' is sometimes translated as "a reflected light" to suggest scientific insight, however the word "reflected" is not present in the original Arabic. | |||
There are '''43 occurrences''' of this word. | |||
If only the following forms are counted: | |||
*النور (''al-noor'') - the light | |||
*نور (''noor'') - a light | |||
*نورا (''nooran'') - a light (accusative) | |||
there are 27 occurrences. When counting the accusative form with the suffixed ا (''alif'') the count of 33 is likewise not attained. | |||
To achieve a count of 33, one must exclude only the forms with possessive pronoun suffixes like "his", "our" and "their", but not exclude the forms with prefixes like "and", "with", "for". This counting method appears to be arbitrary. | |||

==Observations== | |||
*The word "sun" appears 33 times in all its forms | |||
*The word "light" appears 43 times in all its forms | |||
*The word "sun" appears 23 times without any suffixes or prefixes. Or only 22 times when the accusative ''alif'' suffix is excluded. | |||
*The word "light" appears 27 times without any suffixes or prefixes. Or only 18 times when the accusative ''alif'' suffix is excluded. | |||
*To get 33 occurrences in both words, one must exclude the forms with possessive pronoun suffixes like "their", "his", "our" and not excluding the accusative ''alif'' suffix and not excluding any prefixes. | |||
**This exclusion appears arbitrary, and is not employed consistently or even at all order to achieve other word count "miracles" | |||
