Every mention

  • 47:15 · Muhammadعَسَلٍۢ honeyIs the description of Paradise, which the righteous are promised, wherein are rivers of water unaltered, rivers of milk the taste of which never changes, rivers of wine delicious to those who drink, and rivers of purified honey, in which they will have from all [kinds of] fruits and forgiveness from their Lord, like [that of] those who abide eternally in the Fire and are given to drink scalding water that will sever their intestines?

How we count

Each Qur’an word built on the words above counts once, in any form (singular, dual or plural, with or without prefixes such as wa- or al-). Counts published elsewhere often differ because they count different forms or phrases.
