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

The word yawm (day) is mentioned 365 times in the Qur’aan, the number of days in a year. In order to prove this '''he counted the words “al-yawm” and “yawman” but he ignored words such as “yawmukum” (your day) and “yawmuhum” (their day) and yawma’idhin (on that day), because if he had done that, he would have got a different number'''. The same applies to the word al-isti’aadhah which refers to seeking refuge from the shaytaan. He says that it is repeated 11 times, but he includes in that the words “a’oodhu” (I seek refuge) and “fasta’idh” (seek refuge) but not “ ‘udhtu” (I sought refuge) or “ya’oodhoona” (they seek refuge) or “u’eedhuha” (I seek refuge for her) or “ma’aadh Allaah” (Allaah forbid).}}

* There are exactly 0 word count miracles in the Qur'an. This is the conclusion not only of the critics of Islam, but also of many Islamic scholars.

** These word count "miracle" claims rather indicate the helplessness of apologists in trying to find any evidence for Islam.

*The number claimed for a word (or a pair of words) sometimes has a connection or relevance to the word, but most often it does not. This is another inconsistency.
