Sura 27 Word Count

Appendix

342

Appendix 1 of the Quran, translated by Dr. Rashad Khalifa, states that the number of words between the Bismillah at the opening of the Sura to the Bismillah in verse 30 is 342 words = 19 x 18.

Some claim that the total count is 349 rather than 342. The discrepancy occurs based on how one counts "lā" ( لا). La occurs eight times in this passage. Seven occurrences precede a verb, and one time it precedes a noun.

If a person counts every occurrence of "lā" as a separate word, then the total one will obtain will be 349. If, on the other hand, the "lā" preceding a verb in conjunction is counted as a single word, then the total comes out to 342 = 19 x 18.

This is not an isolated position but is also supported by Arabic grammarians, including.
