It seems that there is no way of getting the number 77, so how did apologists get to the number 77? They took the 57 occurrences of the Arabic word الجنة, regardless if it is the word paradise (''al-jannah'') or jinn (''al-jinnah''). Then they took the 24 singular forms of جنة, regardless if it is the word garden (''jannah''), madness (''jinnah'') or cover (''junnah''). So now they have 57 + 24 = 81 words.

They took the 57 occurrences of the Arabic word الجنة, regardless if it is the word "paradise" (ٱلْجَنَّةِ, ''al-jannah'') or "jinn" (ٱلْجِنَّةِ, ''al-jinnah''). Without the diacritics, it can be both. Then they took the 24 singular forms of جنة, regardless if it is the word garden (جَنَّة, ''jannah''), madness (جِنَّة, ''jinnah'') or cover (جُنَّة, ''junnah''). So now they have 57 + 24 = 81 words. And they get 77 by excluding 4 clearly singular forms, because they appear with a suffix: | ||
