I posted this to SRI and meant to cross-post but forgot.

Having not gotten any response to my query about the proverbial 600
ayats in the Qur'an that contain commands which the shari'at is
expected to be based upon I decided to try to find them myself. So I
read the Qur'an through, rather rapidly, and tried to identify the
relevant ayats.

I identified 393 ayats. But this exact number cannot be taken
seriously. I was working fast and doubtless made many mistakes. God
willing, I will improve this result.

The ayats I identified are: 2.172-173, 2.177-203, 2.216-242, 2.264-283,
3.27, 3.117, 3.129, 4.1-43, 4.58-59, 4.84-87, 4.92-94, 4.101-105,
4.116, 4.127-130, 4.135, 4.148, 4.176, 5.1-8, 5.33-40, 5.51, 5.57,
5.87-97, 5.101-108, 6.14-16, 6.21, 6.51-55, 6.71-74, 6.109, 6.146,
6.152-154, 7.31, 7.33, 7.158, 8.1, 8.34-36, 8.38-41, 8.59-62, 9.23,
9.28-29, 9.36-37, 9.60, 9.71, 9.73, 9.84, 9.123, 11.112-114, 16.90-95,
16.114-117, 17.23-39, 17.78-79, 18.23-24
18.27-28, 22.26-38, 22.39, 22.66, 23.1-11, 24.1-10, 24.27-34, 24.58-64,
25.63-76, 31.12-19,
33.4-5, 33.49-55, 47.4-5, 49.1-12, 58.2-4, 58.7-11, 60.1, 60.7-13,
62.9-11, 63.10, 65.1-7

One reason for a difference in ayat count might be that I did not count
any ayat that said "Obey Allah and his messenger", or anything like
that. I believe that command, so to speak, comes with the territority.

Any help I can get would be appreciated. Do you see anything I missed?
Are any of these incorrectly included?
