Collection: The Land-Sea Ratio
The Arabic word for "sea" (bahr) is used 32 times in the Quran. The word bahr is used both for the sea and other waters like lakes and rivers.
The word "land" (barr, yabisa) is used 13 times in the Quran.
It is well-known that the water of seas, oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. cover 71% of the Earth, whereas the land covers 29% of it.
If we divide 32 (number of times the word "sea" is mentioned in Quran) by a denominator 45, the result is 71.111%.
Similarly, if we divide 13 (number of times the word "land" is mentioned in Quran) by a the SAME denominator 45, the result is 28.888% (= 29%)
