Word Count Miracles in the Qur'an: Difference between revisions

'''I think I have now wasted enough space and time to demonstrate the absurdity of these claims that  there is some special significance underlying the number of times these words occur in the Quran.''' In the first place, there is no rule or principle for determining which word or concept  must  always occur a special number of times. Secondly, the criteria for selecting which occurrences of a word should be counted are highly subjective, dubious and always open to challenge. Most importantly, we  gain no increased knowledge about, or insight into, any teaching of Islam from knowing the number of occurrences.}}

As the result of my study I reached the idea that '''the “numerical miracle” as presented in these books is not real at all''', and these books are based on conditions that are sometimes selective , in order to prove the validity of this view in a way that will make the reader accept these preconceived results referred to above.  These selective conditions sometimes lead the author to go against that which is proven according to the consensus of the ummah, such as going against the spelling of the ‘Uthmaani Mus-haf, which is not permissible at all; or adopting the spelling of some words which appears in some Mus-hafs and without paying attention to the spellings in other Mus-hafs. It also goes against basic principles of the Arabic language with regard to synonyms and antonyms.
