===Abraham (إبراهيم)===
The name Abraham (إبراهيم, ''ibraaheem'') occurs 69 times in the Quran. In the Uthmani script the letter ا (''alif'') in the middle is missing, so it's written as إبرهيم. Without that letter, the writing would be still consistent with itself. However in the second sura, the letter ي is also missing, so it's written as إبرهم. So all suras except the 2nd have إبرهيم, but all 15 occurrences in sura al-baqara have إبرهم with the letter ي missing.
