What is Abjad Numerology?
Abjad is a traditional letter-number system in which each letter of the Arabic alphabet is assigned a numerical value. Known historically as the Abjad numeral system or ḥisāb al-jummal (حساب الجُمّل), it was used to represent numbers through letters and appears in a variety of Arabic and Islamic manuscripts, inscriptions, literary works, and historical records.
The system is based on an ancient Semitic letter order that predates the Arabic alphabet. In the traditional Abjad sequence, letters are arranged according to the order أبجد هوز حطي كلمن سعفص قرشت ثخذ ضظغ, with each letter assigned a corresponding numerical value. For example, أ (Alif) = 1, ب (Ba) = 2, ج (Jim) = 3, and د (Dal) = 4.
Abjad values have been used in historical contexts such as chronograms, inscriptions, manuscript dating, poetic composition, and numerical notation. In later traditions, some writers also used letter values for symbolic, linguistic, or esoteric interpretations. These later practices should be distinguished from the historical use of Abjad as a system for representing numbers.
The word “Abjad” (أبجد) comes from the first four letters of the traditional sequence: Alif (أ), Ba (ب), Jim (ج), and Dal (د). These four letters give the system its name and form the beginning of the traditional Abjad letter order.
Today, the Abjad system can be used to calculate the numerical value of Arabic words, names, phrases, and inscriptions by adding together the values assigned to their individual letters. Different historical traditions, including Eastern (Mashriqi) and Western (Maghribi) Abjad systems, may use different letter-value conventions, so the specific system should always be identified when presenting an Abjad calculation.
The word "Abjad" (أبجد) itself comes from the first four letters of the traditional Arabic alphabet sequence: Alif, Ba, Jim, Dal.
