Count it yourself

Nothing here asks to be believed

Every number on this site carries a declaration — text, scope, unit, rules. To re-derive one yourself:

git clone <repository>
python 09-MATH/engine/engine_cli.py --text uthmani --scope whole --unit letters
# → 327,514  (declaration printed beside it)
python 09-MATH/audit_v1.py   # re-runs every gate of every layer

Two anchors you can check by hand tonight: al-Fātiḥa has 7 āyāt, 29 words, 139 letters (basmala counted, letters = Unicode category Lo on the Tanzil Uthmānī text); the whole text has 327,514 letters and 77,881 words under the default rules.

The baselines

Rule switches and their exact worth: shadda-doubles +23,016 · superscript alef +9,838 · waṣla off −13,819 · tanwīn +8,893. A number quoted without its rules is not a fact yet.
