5. Decoding the verses of the Holy Quran

Today we are going to decipher the Holy Quran and see how Allah has explained the percentage of water on this planet.

How many times did the Holy Quran use the word “Land” and “Sea”?

Throughout the many chapters of the Holy Quran, the word sea is used precisely thirty-two times. There are precisely thirteen instances of the term land. We can now determine the proportion of land and water on Earth by performing the following math:

The sum of 13 and 32 is 45. Therefore,

The percentage of water =  ( 32/45 ) *100

= 71.111 % (About 70.8% of the surface is covered by water (Source: Pidwirny, Michael, 2006: “Fundamentals of Physical Geography”, 2^nd Edition))

The percentage of land  = (13/45 )*100

= 28.88 %

Hence, the land to water ratio is proven in the Holy Quran
