What does number 1001 mean in Abjad?
Number 1,001 is reached by Ḍārr (ضار), “distresser,” the Name of Allah Ad-Darr written without the definite article al-. Counted with the article (ال = 1 + 30 = 31), the full Name totals 1,032, the value shown on its 99 Names page.
As a digit root, 1,001 reduces to 2 (1001 → 2).

How to calculate Abjad value 1001
To reach 1001, write the word in Arabic script, change each letter to its Abjad number (alif 1, ba 2, … ghayn 1000), and add them together. For the full method and the complete value table, see the Abjad calculation rules, or work it out in the Abjad calculator.
Cultural & traditional notes
In Ilm-ul-Adad practice the Names of Allah are often counted in their calling form, such as “Yā Ḍārr”, which is why many traditional tables list the value without al-. This is a counting convention, not a religious ruling, and the Name’s meaning matters more than its number.
