Quran numbers spread fast online. We recount each one from the source text, by lemma, and give it one of three labels.
Read how we count- Confirmed · مؤكدWe recounted it from the source text, and it holds.
- Depends on the count · حسب طريقة العدThe total changes with how words are split. We say which way we counted.
- Not supported · غير ثابتA claim that circulates online but does not hold when recounted.
