Before getting to the tables for the above words, there are some other interesting points.

### Qul ( قُل ) vs Qaloo ( قَالُوا۟ )

The word “say” (qul / قُل ) occurs 332 times in the Quran. While the word “they say” (qaloo / قَالُوا۟ ) also occurs 332 times. But if the qul ( قُل ) in 9:129 is counted, then the qul count will be increased by one to 333. A full list of both these words in the Quran can be found [here](https://qurantalkblog.com/2022/08/29/occurance-of-qul-in-quran/).

### God’s Warning

The Quran gives us the following warning regarding those who fabricate scripture.

> \[3:78] Among them are those who twist their tongues to imitate the scripture, that you may think it is from the scripture, when it is not from the scripture, and they claim that it is from GOD, when it is not from GOD. **Thus, they utter lies and attribute them to GOD, knowingly.**
>
> &#x20;وَإِنَّ مِنْهُمْ لَفَرِيقًا يَلْوُۥنَ أَلْسِنَتَهُم بِٱلْكِتَـٰبِ لِتَحْسَبُوهُ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ وَيَقُولُونَ هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَمَا هُوَ مِنْ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ وَ**يَقُولُونَ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ**

Interestingly, the last occurrence of the word God ( **ٱللَّهِ** ) in the above verse is the 361 (19×19) occurrence of this word.

Additionally, the last verse of Sur 9 is verse 127, which states the following forwarning as well.

> \[9:127] Whenever a sura was revealed, some of them would look at each other as if to say: “Does anyone see you?” Then they left. Thus, **GOD** has diverted their hearts, for they are people who do not comprehend.
>
> &#x20;وَإِذَا مَآ أُنزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَّظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَىٰ بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَرَىٰكُم مِّنْ أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ ٱنصَرَفُوا۟ صَرَفَ ٱللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُم بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَفْقَهُونَ

The word God ( **ٱللَّهُ** ) in the above last verse of Sura 9 is the 1273 (19×67) occurrence.
