About AbjadCalculator.com
Last Updated: January 2026
Our Mission
AbjadCalculator.com is a specialized educational platform dedicated to providing accurate, transparent, and culturally respectful tools for Abjad (Arabic letter-to-number system) and Ilm-ul-Adad (Islamic numerology) calculations.
We are not a fortune-telling service, astrology platform, or predictive numerology site. Our purpose is purely educational—to help students, researchers, linguists, and cultural enthusiasts understand and calculate the numeric values of Arabic, Persian, and Urdu letters according to classical and widely accepted methods.
✅ What We Are:
- An educational resource for learning Abjad letter values
- A research tool for academic and linguistic study
- A transparent, methodology-driven calculator platform
❌ What We Are NOT:
- A fortune-telling or divination service
- An astrology or horoscope platform
- A tool for spiritual guidance or religious rulings
📜 A Brief History of the Abjad System
The Abjad system is an ancient alphanumeric code used in Arabic, Persian, and Urdu traditions. Originating in pre-Islamic Arabia, it assigns numeric values to Arabic letters and has been used throughout history for:
- Chronograms: Recording dates in poetry and inscriptions
- Quranic Commentary: Analyzing verse structures (not for divination)
- Calligraphy & Art: Embedding meaningful numbers in visual designs
- Mathematical Notation: Early numeral systems before Arabic numerals
Pre-Islamic Era (~500 CE)
Abjad emerges in the Arabian Peninsula as a mnemonic device for letter order and early numeric notation.
Golden Age of Islam (8th–13th Century)
Scholars like Al-Kindi and Ibn Khaldun documented Abjad use in linguistic analysis, poetry, and chronograms. The system became standardized with Mashriqi (Eastern) and Maghribi (Western) variants.
Medieval Period (13th–16th Century)
Ahmad al-Buni's Shams al-Ma'arif popularized esoteric uses of Abjad (often controversial), while mainstream scholars continued using it for legitimate linguistic and historical purposes.
Modern Era (20th Century–Present)
Abjad remains relevant in academic research, Arabic typography, Unicode standards, and cultural heritage projects. Digital tools like AbjadCalculator.com make these calculations accessible for educational purposes.

Our Core Commitments
1. Accuracy First
Our calculations are based on the Mashriqi (Eastern) Abjad system, the most widely used variant across Arabic-speaking regions, Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey. We follow established conventions from classical Islamic scholarship and modern Unicode standards.
- Letter values are verified against historical texts (see Methodology)
- Unicode normalization ensures correct handling of diacritics, ligatures, and variant forms
- Special cases (Hamza, Ta Marbuta, Alif Maqsura) are handled according to scholarly consensus
2. Cultural Respect
We recognize that Abjad values have historical significance in Islamic scholarship, but we do not promote their use for divination, fortune-telling, or esoteric practices. Our tools are designed for:
- Educational purposes (learning Arabic letter values)
- Linguistic research (analyzing word structures)
- Cultural appreciation (understanding historical chronograms and calligraphy)
3. Transparency & Accountability
Unlike many online calculators that provide results without explanation, we offer:
- Detailed Methodology: See exactly how calculations are performed → Methodology Page
- Step-by-Step Guides: Learn to calculate Abjad values manually → Calculation Rules
- Open Error Reporting: Found a mistake? Report it at accuracy@abjadcalculator.com
- Regular Updates: We maintain a public Changelog for all corrections and improvements
How We Calculate Abjad Values
Our methodology follows these principles (for full technical details, see Methodology):
1. Abjad System Standards
We use the Mashriqi (Eastern) Abjad as our primary standard:
| Range | Letters | Values |
|---|---|---|
| Units | ا ب ج د ه و ز ح ط | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
| Tens | ي ك ل م ن س ع ف ص | 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 |
| Hundreds | ق ر ش ت ث خ ذ ض ظ غ | 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 |
📖 Mnemonic Device (Traditional Memory Aid):
أَبْجَد هَوَّز حُطِّي كَلَمُن سَعْفَص قَرَشَت ثَخَذ ضَظَغ
(Abjad Hawwaz Hutti Kalamun Sa'fas Qarashat Thakhadh Dazagh)
2. Special Character Handling
- Hamza (ء): Treated as Alif (ا) = 1, regardless of carrier (أ إ ؤ ئ)
- Ta Marbuta (ة): Treated as Ha (ه) = 5
- Alif Maqsura (ى): Treated as Ya (ي) = 10
- Diacritics: Ignored (ً ٌ ٍ َ ُ ِ ّ ْ ٰ etc.)
- Lam-Alif Ligature (لا): Decomposed to ل (30) + ا (1) = 31
3. Quality Assurance Process
Every calculator result undergoes:
- Cross-Reference with Classical Sources: Compared against established Abjad tables from Al-Buni and Ibn Khaldun
- Unicode Validation: Ensures proper normalization of Arabic script variants
- Test Suite Verification: Automated tests for common names (Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, etc.)
- Community Feedback: Open reporting system for user corrections
What We Do NOT Do
⚠️ Important Disclaimers:
- No Spiritual Guidance: We do not interpret the "meaning" of Abjad values or provide spiritual advice
- No Predictions: We do not use Abjad values for fortune-telling, compatibility assessments, or future predictions
- No Religious Rulings: We do not claim that Abjad calculations have religious significance or represent Islamic guidance
- No Esoteric Claims: We do not endorse or promote the use of Abjad for magic, talismans, or occult practices
