* The verse 23:4 talks about the "doers" of "zakah", so it is not clear whether this is the "purity" meaning or "tax" meaning. Either they are doers of "'''paying''' the zakah" or "doing the purification '''works'''". The word "paying" nor "works" is present, so this occurrence is not clear, but it won't matter for the conclusions about the whole list. | * The verse 23:4 talks about the "doers" of "zakah", so it is not clear whether this is the "purity" meaning or "tax" meaning.

So the word ''zakah'' does not appear 32 times, as some apologists like to claim, but it appears only '''30 times'''. This word count includes the forms with prefixes, which were often excluded in other apologetic word counts, so if we used that counting method, than there is even less occurrences. | So the word ''zakah'' does not appear 32 times, as some apologists like to claim, but it appears only '''30 times'''.
