In an attempt to prove the divine origins of [[Islam]], there are many Islamic websites promoting "word count miracles" in the Qur'an. The basic claim here is that certain words in the Qur'an are repeated a specific number of times, and for some reasons, that number is meaningful or rather miraculous. Hence Muslim apologists assert that the Qur'an is the word of God.

This article also includes what can be termed as "non-miracles." For example, the Muslim claim is that the word "day" appears 365 times in the Quran and there are 365 days in a year, so this is a miracle by Allah. But when we calculate the occurrences of the word "night" in the Qur'an, we find that it is only 92 though there are 365 nights in a year.
