    Hello I heard

    Sea is mentioned 32 times in Quran
    Land mentioned 13 times in Quran
    Sea (32)+Land (13) = 45 in total

    Sea 32/45 x 100%= 71,11 %
    Land 13/45 x100% = 28,89%

    I searched about the coverage of the surface and found
    According to some figures, the consensus is that 70.8% of the Earth's surface is covered by water; 29.2 % is covered by land. Other figures suggest the percentage of Earth's surface covered by water is 71.11%; the percentage covered by land is 28.89%. Only 3% of that water is fresh water, the rest is saltwater.

    So it looks like its true D. Now I just cant read arabic. So could someone please confirm if its right that sea is mentioned 32 times and Land 13 times.

    Thank you, and may God lead with you.

      The word for land is 'Ard' and it is mentioned way more than 13 times.

          And the word sea 'Bahr' does occur about 32 times, but about 38 times if you count its plural forms.

              32 times definite by prefixed definite article; once indefinite (1)2440
              dual 5 times
              Plural 3

              Total=41

                    There is a computer program for word count in Quran. I will try to find the link later.

                      Israfell and Mazhar

                      Thank you for your efford, for brining light to this subject.

                      Just I am a little bit Arrrg.
                      Couldn?t it have been 13 instead of 12 for the land. Now when the sea fit.

                      But thanks anyway.

                      I gues I all looking for miracles. But maybe the one God have for me can be even bigger than a number..

                      Peace

                        People looking for and wanting display of miracles are mostly doomed. Such people are generally playful.
