Calculate and explore Ism-e-Azam values using traditional Abjad-based methods.
Quick Answer: This Ism-e-Azam Calculator finds the Abjad value of an Arabic name. You choose an Abjad method, and the tool adds the letter values. It then compares your number with the Names of Allah (Asma-ul-Husna). The result is a traditional numerical study, not a religious ruling on the Greatest Name. Everything runs in your browser.
Abjad needs Arabic script
This tool applies a selected Abjad-based calculation method to the entered name and compares the resulting value with the Names of Allah. The result is a traditional numerical analysis, not a definitive religious determination of Ism-e-Azam.
🔒 Your text stays on your device. All Abjad math and name comparison run locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.

How The Tool Works
What Is Ism-e-Azam (The Greatest Name)?
Ism-e-Azam means “the Greatest Name” of Allah. Many narrations mention that Allah has a Greatest Name.
Scholars agree this Name exists. They differ on which Name it is. This is a matter of knowledge, not calculation.
What Is Abjad Calculation?
Abjad gives each Arabic letter a fixed number. Adding these numbers gives a word its Abjad value.
Studying words through their letter numbers is a traditional practice. In Arabic it is called ilm-ul-adad or ilm al-huruf.
What This Calculator Does
The tool reads the Arabic letters you enter. It adds their values using your chosen method.
It then compares your number with the values of the 99 Names of Allah. It shows any Name with the same number.
This comparison is a numerical exercise. It does not prove that a name is the Greatest Name.
Abjad Calculation Methods
This tool offers two verified Abjad arrangements. Both give each letter a fixed value.
Standard Abjad (Mashriqi)
This is the most common order in the Arab East. Alif is 1 and Ghayn is 1000.
Maghribi Abjad
This order is used in the Arab West, like Morocco. Some letters carry different values.
The main differences are Sin, Sad, Dad, Sheen, Za, and Ghayn. The table below lists them side by side.
| Letter | Standard | Maghribi |
|---|---|---|
| س | 60 | 300 |
| ص | 90 | 60 |
| ض | 800 | 90 |
| ش | 300 | 1000 |
| ظ | 900 | 800 |
| غ | 1000 | 900 |
How Letters Are Counted
All alif forms and hamza count as 1. Ta marbuta counts as 5, and alif maqsura counts as 10.
Diacritics and tatweel are removed first. Spaces split words, and numbers or symbols are skipped and listed.
Worked Example: Calculating A Name
The Name Ali (علي)
We add each letter using the Standard method.
The value is 110. The tool then checks the Names of Allah for 110.
It finds an exact match. The Name Al-Ali (علي), “The Most High”, also equals 110.
This match is a numerical fact. It reflects shared letters, not a spiritual claim.
More Name Examples
The Name Muhammad (محمد)
No Name of Allah equals 92 exactly. The tool then shows the nearest Names.
The closest are Al-Malik (ملك, 90) and Al-Aziz (عزيز, 94).
How The Method Changes The Value
The letter Sin is 60 in Standard, but 300 in Maghribi. So a name with Sin gives two different totals.
Always note the method beside any value you share. A number without its method can confuse readers.
How To Read Your Result
The Abjad value is a sum of letters. It is a language and math result only.
An exact match with a Name of Allah is a shared number. It does not make a personal name divine or sacred.
The tool does not reveal the true Ism-e-Azam. That question belongs to scholarship, not to a calculator.
Do not use any result to predict the future or judge a person. Numbers carry no such power.
Ism-e-Azam: Scholarly Views
Muslim scholars have long discussed the Greatest Name. Their views come from the Quran and hadith.
Many narrations describe companions calling on Allah by His Greatest Name. The Prophet approved their words.
Scholars still differ on the exact Name. Some point to the Name “Allah” itself.
Others point to “Al-Hayy Al-Qayyum”, the Ever-Living and Sustainer. Some link it to “Dhul-Jalali wal-Ikram”.
There is no single agreed answer. So this tool presents numbers, not a final verdict.
For belief and worship, follow the Quran, the Sunnah, and qualified scholars.

Common Mistakes To Avoid
Entering A Name In English Letters
Abjad values need Arabic script. Latin letters have no Abjad value and are skipped.
Mixing Two Abjad Methods
Standard and Maghribi give different totals. Pick one method and keep it for the whole comparison.
Forgetting The Article ال
The Names are often written with “Al-“. Adding ال changes the value by its letters. Use the toggle to match your source.
Treating A Match As Proof
A shared number is a coincidence of letters. It does not identify the Greatest Name.
Counting Diacritics
Short vowel marks carry no value. The tool removes them before adding letters.
Limitations And Edge Cases
The tool reads letters as written. It does not guess a root or a hidden spelling.
Name lists and Abjad conventions vary across sources. Treat every value as one common convention.
The 99 Names use one enumeration. Other valid lists exist in Islamic scholarship.
The tool cannot judge religious truth. It only performs arithmetic on Arabic letters.
