THE MIRACLE OF THE AL-QUR'AN (9)

(From Islamic Point of Views)
(Continuation from 09/16/2006)
ii. Geology

b) The shape of the Earth.

The ancient people believe that this world had wide open. Because of this, they afraid to travel far from their countries, they think, they will fall down to no where if they reach to the end of the world. However, on 1597, Sir Francis Drake the English navigator had been round the world to prove the earth actually is in sphere. Please be concerned to this Quranic verse;
“Seest thou not that God merges Day into Night and He mergers Day into Night; that he had subjected the sun, and the moon (to His Law), each running its course for a term appointed; and that God is well-acquainted with all that ye do? (QS, Luqman 31: 29)

We must be concerned here that this thing could be as slow because this sphere of the earth had spinning and moving. If the earth is flat of course the creation of the Night and the Day will happen in rapidly.

c) Percentage of the Land and the Ocean

Followed to the research of Commander Naval Meteorgraphy Command 1020 Balch Blvd, Stennis Space Center, Mississippi 39529-500 on the rate of the Ocean (water) and the land, it has found that this earth had stand on 71% from the water and only 29% has covered by the land. Followed to other research, the earth has been built with 71.111% from the water and 28.889% from the land. How this can match with Al-Qur’an?
For this, it has answered by the research of Dr. Tariq Al-Suwaida(2002),. He has said taht Al-Qur’an has given the answer to who had studied it with patient and they will find out about the answer. Dr. Tariq had told that Al-Qur’an has said about the Ocean for 32 times and the land for 13 times. It has count by using a simple mathematical calculation as follow:
Ocean + Land = 32 + 13 = 45
To find the percentage of the ocean and the land can see as follow:
Ocean = 32 / 45 X 100 = 71.111%
Land = 13 / 45 X 100 = 28.889%

As total, the ocean is about 71% and the land is about 29%. This is so amazingly because it was proven the greatness of Allah s.w.t. that revealed this Al-Qur’an to Muhammad s.a.w. since 1400 years ago.
