Trying to count ''al-jannah'' didn't bring the result 77. But maybe it will get to 77 if we consider "paradise" to be synonymous with "garden", because they are basically the same word and heaven is described as "gardens under which rivers flow", repeatedly, in the Qur'an. | Trying to count ''al-jannah'' didn't bring the result 77.

The word "garden" doesn't always mean the garden where good Muslims are supposed to end up. In many verses the word just refers to a garden that is on earth. Or the word is used allegorically. So in the Translation column, the context is specified. | |||
The list also includes words, that have a different meaning, other than "garden". The purpose is not that it makes sense to count them, but to understand how apologists got to the number 77. | The list also includes words, that have a different meaning, other than "garden".
