===The word count=== | |||
We wanted to count the word "garden" because it might refer to "the gardens in paradise" and might be synonymous with "the paradise" and it might help us to increase the word count 52 of ''al-jannah'' to get to the number 77. | |||
The list showed that the word "garden" appears 71 times in the context of "gardens in paradise". If we add the number 52 from "al-jannah" word count and add 71, we get 123 occurrences and not 77. | |||
71 is a too big number. If we count only the singular forms of "garden" (in heaven), we get 10 occurrences. 52 + 10 is 62. | |||
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 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. And now comes the biggest absurdity. They excluded clearly singular forms in these verses, because they appear with a suffix: | |||
* 18:35 (جَنَّتَهُۥ) - his garden | |||
* 18:39 (جَنَّتَكَ) - your garden | |||
* 18:40 (جَنَّتِكَ) - your garden | |||
* 89:30 (جَنَّتِى) - my garden | |||
The suffixes just make the form possessive. But it is still garden. A singular form of the word garden! | |||
