Word path · where ع-ل-م falls in the muṣḥaf

Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times ع-ل-م 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 7 (46 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 6 pages — pages 302–307, juzʾ 16–16.
