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.
==="Muhammad" and "swine" both mentioned 4 times miracle===
When we count only the singular form of the word "swine" (ٱلْخِنزِير, ''al-khinzeer''), we get 4 occurrences:
# 2:173 "He has only forbidden you what dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of '''swine''' (ٱلْخِنزِيرِ)"
# 5:3 "Forbidden to you is that which dies of itself, and blood, and flesh of '''swine''' (ٱلْخِنزِيرِ)"
# 6:145 "Say: I do not find in that which has been revealed to me anything forbidden for an eater to eat of except that it be what has died of itself, or blood poured forth, or flesh of '''swine''' (خِنزِيرٍ)"
# 16:115 "He has only forbidden you what dies of itself and blood and flesh of '''swine''' (ٱلْخِنزِيرِ)"
There is also one occurrence of وَٱلْخَنَازِيرَ (''wal-khanaazeer'', "and the pigs") in 5:60, but words with prefixes and plural forms were often dismissed in other miracles, so why would we count it now?
If Allah cared so much about equal word counts why did he make equal word counts for "Muhammad" and "swine"? One of the interpretations might be that he wanted to criticize [[Qur'an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Muhammad#Obesity|Muhammad's obesity]].
