How many times is Ramadan mentioned in the Qur’an?

What was counted

Every mention

• 2:185 · Al-Baqarahرَمَضَانَ (of) RamadhaanThe month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.

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.
