There is amazing consistency in the number of times certain words are mentioned in the Holy Qur'aan.
Here are a few examples : -

The word sea (water) is mentioned 32 times in the Holy Quran,and the word land(dry land) is mentioned 13 times. If we add the times the word (sea) is mentioned to the times the word (land) is mentioned we will get the total of 45 times(32 + 13).
To calculate the ratio of land is to water:
Total number of the word (dry land), divided by the total number of both the words (sea) and (land), and multiply it by 100 to get the percentage.
13 divided by 45 x 100 = 28.8888888889%
|
To calculate the ratio of water is to land:
Total number of the word sea(water), divided by the total number of both the words (sea) and (land), and multiply it by 100 to get the percentage.
32 divided by 45 x 100 = 71.1111111111%
|
This amazing result, the Holy Quran has reached 14 centuries ago, while the modern Science reached the following only recently:
The percentage of water on earth is 71.1111111111%. The percentage of land on earth is 28.8888888889%.
If we add the first figure to the second we get 100%. These are the actual percentages of water and earth!
So what do you say of this inimitability? Is it a mere coincidence? Who taught Muhammad , Peace be upon -him, all this? Who taught this illiterate prophet, at the age of 40, these facts?
These are only a few examples of the numerical Inimitability of the Holy Quran. There are volumes and volumes of other amazing facts related to astrology, geology, medical.etc which modern science is still discovering until today .
Praise be to Allah , The One and Only.
