The list showed that the word "garden" in the context of "gardens in paradise" appears '''71 times''' including '''10 singular forms''', 3 dual forms and 58 plural forms. If we count the (plural) occurrence in the verse 71:12, then we get 72 occurrences.
The list showed that the word "garden" in the context of "gardens in paradise" appears '''71 times''' including '''10 singular forms''', 3 dual forms and 58 plural forms. If we count the (plural) occurrence in the verse 71:12, then we get 72 occurrences.


If we add the numbers 52 from "paradise" word count and the 71 from the "gardens in paradise" word count, we get the number 123.
There are 52 occurrences of "paradise" so let's try add the occurrences of "gardens in paradise":
If we add the numbers 52 from "paradise" word count and the 10 from the singular "garden in paradise" word count, we get the number 62.
* 52 + 71 = 123
* 52 + 10 (singulars) = 62
No, we don't get the number 77.


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 the Arabic word 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 4 clearly singular forms in these verses, because they appear with a suffix:
