Ratio of Land to Water on Earth

Modern Science has only recently proven that the water covers 71.111% of the Earth, while the land covers 28.889 %.

The ratio of the appearances of the words "sea" and “land" in the Holy Qur’an is identical to the ratio between sea and land in modern science. Some continents had not yet been discovered at the time the Holy Qur’an was revealed, and it was impossible to determine the ratio between the land and sea. Even such a large continent as America was only discovered in the 15th century. 

The word "land" appears 13 times in the Qur’an, while “sea” appears 32 times. These numbers total 45. If we divide the number of references to land in the Qur’an, 13, by 45, the result is 28.8888888889%. Dividing the number of references to sea in the Holy Qur'an, 32, by 45, results in 71.1111111111%.

The repetition of these words in the Holy Qur’an may be an indication that the Earth is 71% covered in water and 29% in dry land.

% of Land on Earth= Land/(Land+Sea) Which is: 13/45 = 28.8888888888889%

%of Sea on Earth= Sea(Land+Sea) Which is: 32/45 = 71.11111111111%

• Number of times the word “land” appears in the Qur’an = 13
• Number of times the word “sea” appears in the Qur’an = 32
• Proportion of dry land to sea covering the Earth = 13/45 = 29%
• Proportion of sea to dry land on Earth = 32/45 = 71%
