This article lists all occurrences of the words ''shaytan(s)'' (sometimes transliterated as ''shaitan'' or translated as Satan) and angel(s) in the [[Qur'an]] and considers the "miracle" of both appearing 88 times.


==Shaytan==
==Shaytan==
In the islamic mythology, Allah created invisible beings called "jinns". Some of the jinns are muslims (they obey Allah) and others are ''shaytans'' (they disobey Allah). The most important shaytan is Iblees. Shaytans follow Iblees. The word ''shaytan'' has two meanings in the Qur'an, either it refers to a non-believing jinn(s) or it refers to Iblees himself. It depends on the context.
In Islamic mythology, [[Allah]] (God) created invisible beings called "[[Jinn|jinns]]". Some of the jinns are muslims (they obey Allah) and others are ''shaytans'' (they disobey Allah). The most important ''shaytan'' is Iblees, or Satan (generally referred to as "the ''shaytan''". Shaytans follow Iblees. The word ''shaytan'' has two meanings in the Qur'an, either it refers to a non-believing jinn(s) or it refers to Iblees himself (usually preceded with "the"). It depends on the context.

So the word appears 70 times in its singular form, including one occurrence with a prefix (19:45).
The word appears 70 times in its singular form, including one occurrence with a prefix (19:45).


When counting all the forms, it appears 88 times, including 4 occurrences with prefixes (19:45, 19:68, 38:37 and 67:5) and 1 occurrence with a suffix (2:14).
When counting all the forms, it appears 88 times, including 4 occurrences with prefixes (19:45, 19:68, 38:37 and 67:5) and 1 occurrence with a suffix (2:14).


This word count is questionable. Firstly, the word has two meanings "a regular ''shaytaan;;" and "Iblees". Then, there is the question whether to count only the singular form and whether to include the words with prefixes and whether to include the words with suffixes.
One should note that the word has two meanings "a regular ''shaytaan''" and "Iblees". In calculating a total number, one must decide whether to count singular/plural versions and ones with/without prefixes/suffixes.


==Angel==
==Angel==
Angels are supposed to be invisible beings who always obey Allah. In one verse ({{Quran|2|34}}) Ibless (Satan) seems to be an angel while in other verse ({{Quran|18|50}}) he is a jinn.

The word appears 13 times in the singular form, including 2 occurrences with a prefix (69:17, 89:22). (*) These two singular occurrences with a prefix are translated as "angel'''s'''".
When counting all the forms, this word appears 88 times, including 31 occurrences with a prefix and the occurrences with a prefix include 5 occurrences with a suffix.
In calculating a total number, one must decide whether to count singular/plural versions and ones with/without prefixes/suffixes.
==Observations==
*The word ''shaytan'' in its basic form, that is in the singular form, without prefixes or suffixes, appears '''69 times''' and the word angel '''11 times'''.


==Conclusions==
*When counting all possible forms of both words, then both have the word count 88.
Will come.
**In other word counts many words (words with suffixes, words with prefixes, dual and plural forms, etc.) must be disincluded to arrive at the "miracle" count, though this does not appear to be the case here, and instead all word forms are required.
**In other word counts where words of opposing qualities are counted and one is positive and the other negative, such as that between "righteous" and "wicked", there is sometimes a multiplication of the positive word (e.g. [[Word Count Miracles in the Qur'an#.22The righteous.22 mentioned 6 times and .22the wicked.22 3 times|the word "righteous" is said to appear six times while the word "wicked" is said to appear three times, though this count is rather unclear]]). This effect seems arbitrarily absent in the case of angels and devils/shayateen. Other even more easily contrasted words, such as "believers" and "disbelievers" appear to lack any word count "miracle" altogether.
