Word Count Miracles in the Qur'an: Difference between revisions

** Jihad is derived from the root جهد. There are 41 words derived from this root in the Qur'an. Some of them are verbs, some of them are nouns like "strong", or "mujahideen".<ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=jhd</ref> So it is not very logical to count them together. And claiming that the actual word "jihad" appears 41 times is a lie.

** Muslim apologists must think twice about the ramifications of claiming a miracle like this one. Every time the Qur'an and Muhammad talk about jihad, it is in the context of a war against non-Muslims to establish the rule of Islam. Instead of refuting the doctrine of jihad, are the apologists endorsing it as a duty for Muslims via this miracle?

** Karaha (كره) meaning "hate" or "compulsion" is also mentioned 41 times. <ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=krh</ref>

* The words "Iblees" (إبليس) and the phrase "seek refuge from Iblees" (الاستعاذة بالله) both occur 11 times.
