“Human being” (insan) is used 65 times: The sum of the number of references to the stages of man’s creation is the same: i.e.
Human being =65
-Soil (turaab) -17
-Drop of sperm (nutfah) -12
-Embryo (‘alaq) -6
-A half formed lump of flesh (muthghah) -3
-Bone (‘idham) -15
-Flesh (lahm) -12
17+12+6+3+15+12 = 65

The word “land” (barr, yabas) appears 13 times in the Qurán and the word “sea” (bahr) 32 times, giving a total of 45 references. If we divide that number by that of the number of references to the land we arrive at the figure 28.888888888889%. The number of total references to land and sea, 45, divided by the number of references to the sea in the Qurán, 32, is 71,111111111111%. Extraordinarily, these figures represent the exact proportions of land and sea on the earth today. 238
