 * The word Ad-Dunya appears 115 times in the Qur'an but doesn't always mean "this world" or "worldly life"
 * The word Al-Akhira appears 115 times, when we count all the forms of this word and 71 times if we count only pure Al-Akhira. This word also doesn't always mean "hereafter".
-* "''The words Dunya and Akhira both appear 115 times in the Qur'an, which is a numerical miracle.''"
+* "''The words Dunya (this world) and Akhira (hereafter) both appear 115 times in the Qur'an, which is a numerical miracle.''"
 ** In this "miracle" the word ''akhira'' is counted with many prefixes, while in the [[365 days miracle in the Quran|365 days miracle]] words with these prefixes were not counted.
+** The word ''dunya'' doesn't always mean world and the word ''akhira'' doesn't always mean hereafter. So the miracle claim is wrong. And phrasing it without the translation is misleading, because it makes people assume that those words always mean "this world" and "hereafter".
+** What is the message behind this? Worldly life is the same as hereafter? They are equally important? Are they equally long? Shouldn't the hereafter be much more important and have a double word count?
