Using this Qur’an search engine:


http://www.hti.umich.edu/k/koran/simple.html


Faith = 70 verses
Believe = 714 verses
Unbelievers = 120 verses
Believers = 144
Unbelief = 28
Disbelief = 5
Doubt = 53
Belief = 6
Total = 1140

The resulting verses may be read at:

Using this Bible search engine:

http://www.hti.umich.edu/k/kjv/simple.html

Doubt = 40

Faith, Faithful = 402
Believe = Unbelievers = Believers = 340
Total = 782

It is very instructive to read though all these verses isolated from the Qur'an and then read though all the verses isolated from the Bible using the same search criteria.

The Qur'an is much less than half the size of the Bible, and yet the stress upon belief and doubt in the Qur'an is almost double the stress in the Bible.
