*(*) In these cases the words clearly mean "male man", in other verses the word could mean "human being" and thus include females. | |||
**If this word always meant "human being", then for example, in 2:102 "between a man and his wife" (بَيْنَ ٱلْمَرْءِ وَزَوْجِهِ, ''bayna almari wazawjihi'') would be "between a human being and his wife", which would indicate that wife is not a human being. | |||

==Conclusions== | |||
===Miracles=== | |||
*One alleged miracle is as follows: "''The word rajul (man) and the word imra (woman) are both mentioned 24 times. That is a miracle and it means men and women are equal.''"<ref>http://www.islamawareness.net/Miq/stat.html</ref><ref>http://www.answering-christianity.com/equality_men_women.htm</ref> | |||
**The word count 24 is achieved by arbitrarily ignoring all dual and plural forms. | |||
**Forms with suffixes and prefixes are arbitrarily counted although in the [[365 days miracle in the Quran|365 days miracle]], they were not counted. | |||
**All the words meaning "man" with the root امر are ignored. | |||
**This word count includes the controversial word (رَجُلًا, rajulan) from the verse 7:155, which is in the singular form, but is clearly talking about ''seventy men'' (سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا, ''sabAAeena rajulan''). | |||
**The number 24 doesn't signify anything and seems to be a product of coincidence. | |||
**Equality in word count does not imply equality under law - and it is indeed the case that men and women are not valued equally under Islamic Law (see: [[Islam and Women]]). | |||
***Male is mentioned 12 times in the singular and female is mentioned 18 times in the Quran. | |||
*The other alleged miracle is as follows: "''The word man and woman are both mentioned 23 times and in formation of an embryo 23 chromosomes are from the mother and 23 chromosomes are from the father.''"<ref>http://www.miraclesofthequran.com/mathematical_01.html</ref> | |||
**The word count for singular "man" can be 23 (if we don't count the controversial word in the verse 7:155, as mentioned earlier), but the word count for singular "woman" is 24. | |||
**The word count in this miracle contradicts the word count in the previous miracle. | |||
===Word Counts=== | |||
*The word man (''rajul'') in all its forms appears 55 times, while the word woman (''imra'' 26 + ''nisa'' 59) 85 times. | |||
*The word "woman" unlike the word "man" is often in the form of "my woman", "his woman", "your woman"... which decidedly implies the "women are a property of men" attitude. | |||
