The word count for hell is easier. But there is still the question whether to count the words with prefix? In English these Arabic prefixes would be expressed with another word, so the word count would be 77. The word count 77 for "hell" makes sense in Arabic as well. But it should be mentioned that apologists didn't count the word "day" with these prefixes in the [[365 days miracle in the Quran]] so now there is an inconsistency in the counting methods. There are 5 occurrences with a prefix so another possible word count would be 72. | The word count for hell is easier. But there is still the question whether to count the words with prefix?

* When counting the word "hell" without prefixes, we get 72 occurrences. | * When counting the word "hell" without prefixes, we get 72 occurrences. This is exactly the same number as the number of virgins Muslims are supposed to get in paradise. Is this just a miracle? If Allah wrote the Qur'an, he must have known very well that this word count would be 72 and that it is the same as the number of virgins and he must had some wise reason for that. One possible interpretation might be that Muslims who want to go to heaven to get the virgins, might actually get 72 hells as a punishment for their lust. | ||
