This article contains a list of all the occurrences of the word "day" (يوم - transliterated as "yawm") in all its forms in the Qur'an. It also counts the total number of occurrences, number of occurrences in singular/plural/dual separately and the number of occurrences, where the word consists only of the three arabic letters يوم (regardless of diacritics). The purpose is to refute the apologist argument, that he word appears 365 times in the Qur'an, which "cannot be a coincidence" (although it could be a coincidence even if it was true), and therefore the Qur'an must be from god.

* يومئذ  means "that day" and not "then forth" and even if we excluded it because it means "then forth", then we should also exclude اليوم, because it means "today".

* يوما has the letter ا (alif) as a suffix to indicate accusative, so it is not the basic form.

* The islam's lunar calendar's year has 355 days and not 365.
* The Earth doesn't orbit around the Sun exactly 365 days, but approximately 365.25 days, so if the word appeared 365 times and signified the time needed for the earth to orbit around the Sun, it wouldn't be accurate.
* According to Muhammad, the Sun rises on one side of the flat earth, then goes over the earth, then sets on the other side, then goes under the throne of Allah (it doesn't shine on the other side of the round earth, creating day on the other side) and there it asks for permission to rise again.<ref>The Prophet (ﷺ) asked me at sunset, "Do you know where the sun goes (at the time of sunset)?" I replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." He said, "It goes (i.e. travels) till it prostrates Itself underneath the Throne and takes the permission to rise again, and it is permitted and then (a time will come when) it will be about to prostrate itself but its prostration will not be accepted, and it will ask permission to go on its course but it will not be permitted, but it will be ordered to return whence it has come and so it will rise in the west. And that is the interpretation of the Statement of Allah: "And the sun Runs its fixed course For a term (decreed). that is The Decree of (Allah) The Exalted in Might, The All- Knowing." -- Sahih al-Bukhari Book 59, Hadith 10 (3199)
