The references and the totals that are based on them are close approximations. If the reader detects an error, please email the author.

Table 1

Warner: Nadhir
Notes:

Red refers to Muhammad.
Green refers to Muhammad when he is implied in a verse, but not explicitly mentioned.
Black refers to Biblical warners, humans or angels.
Blue refers to warners generally, unspecified.
Brown refers to Allah and his angels or the Quran.

Table 3

Prophet: Nabi
Notes:

Red refers to Muhammad.
Green refers to Muhammad when he is not explicitly mentioned in a verse, but only implied.
Black refers to Biblical prophets.
Blue refers to prophets generally, unspecified.
Violet refers to non-Biblical prophets other than Muhammad.

Number in parentheses indicates how many times the same word is found in one verse, but only if more than once.

Since the goal is to analyze titles, only the noun "prophet" is counted here. The verb form of nabi is typically translated as "to inform" and is most often found in the clause "Allah will inform humanity of their deeds in the Last Day." But here is a partial list of references that apply to Muhammad informing, telling, or declaring: Suras 3:15; 5:60; 15:49, 51; 18:3; 22:72; 27:221; 34:7.

Sura means Chapter. Some were revealed while Muhammad lived in Mecca, others in Medina, after his Hijrah or Flight there in AD 622.
