So the word "Muhammad" is mentioned 4 times, but the word "sharia" is mentioned only once.
So the word "Muhammad" is mentioned 4 times, but the word "sharia" is mentioned only once.
=="The righteous" mentioned 6 times and "the wicked" 3 times==
If we count only basic forms of the words ''al-abrar'' (the righteous) and ''al-fujjar'' (the wicked), we get 5 occurrences of ''al-abrar'':
* 1) 3:193 "Our Lord! surely we have heard a preacher calling to the faith, saying: Believe in your Lord, so we did believe; Our Lord! forgive us therefore our faults, and cover our evil deeds and make us die with '''the righteous''' (ٱلْأَبْرَارِ, ''al-abrar'')."
* 2) 76:5 "Surely '''the righteous''' (ٱلْأَبْرَارَ, ''al-abrar'') shall drink of a cup the admixture of which is camphor"
* 3) 82:13 "Most surely '''the righteous''' (ٱلْأَبْرَارَ, ''al-abrar'') are in bliss,"
* 4) 83:18 "Nay! Most surely the record of '''the righteous''' (ٱلْأَبْرَارِ, ''al-abrar'') shall be in the Iliyin."
* 5) 83:22 "Most surely '''the righteous''' (ٱلْأَبْرَارَ, ''al-abrar'') shall be in bliss,"
And two occurrences of ''al-fujjar'':
* 1) 82:14 "And most surely '''the wicked''' (ٱلْفُجَّارَ, ''al-fujjar'') are in burning fire,"
* 2) 83:7 "Nay! most surely the record of '''the wicked''' (ٱلْفُجَّارِ, ''al-fujjar'') is in the Sijjin."
So there is no miracle. However when we count the words with slightly different forms, we get one more occurrence for "the righteous":
* 3:198 "But as to those who are careful of (their duty to) their Lord, they shall have gardens beneath which rivers flow, abiding in them; an entertainment from their Lord, and that which is with Allah is best '''for the righteous''' (لِّلْأَبْرَارِ, ''lil-abrar'')."
And 3 occurrences for "the wicked":
* 38:28 "Shall We treat those who believe and do good like the mischief-makers in the earth? Or shall We make those who guard (against evil) '''like the wicked''' (كَٱلْفُجَّارِ, ''kal-fujjar'')?"
* 71:27 "If You leave them, they will mislead Your slaves, and they will beget none but '''wicked''' (فَاجِرًا, ''fajiran'') disbelievers."
* 80:42 "These are they who are unbelievers, '''the wicked''' (ٱلْفَجَرَةُ, ''al-fajarah'')."
So this word count is more questionable than miraculous.
