Word path · where ق-ت-ل falls in the muṣḥaf
Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times ق-ت-ل occurs on it. Counted, not interpreted — a bright page is where the word is dense, which is a fact about vocabulary and not a claim about what the page teaches.
Densest in juzʾ 2 (23 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 48 pages — pages 237–284, juzʾ 12–15.
