The Ancient Art of Arabic Numerology
Abjad (حروف أبجد) is an ancient system of assigning numerical values to Arabic letters. The name comes from the first four letters of the original Semitic alphabet: أ ب ج د (Abjad).
Also known as Ḥisāb al-Jummal (حساب الجُمَّل), this system has been used for centuries in Islamic scholarship, poetry, historical dating, Quranic analysis, and traditional sciences.
The values follow the original Phoenician/Semitic alphabetical order — different from the modern Arabic alphabet — assigning numbers from 1 to 1000 across the 28 letters.

Frequently Asked Questions
A few things worth knowing before you calculate.
What is the Abjad calculator used for?
It converts any Arabic word, name, or phrase into its classical Abjad (Ḥisāb al-Jummal) numerical value, showing the total along with a breakdown of each letter's individual value.
How is the Abjad value of a name calculated?
Each Arabic letter is assigned a fixed numerical value under the classical Abjad order, and the values of every letter in the word are added together to produce the total.
Why does the letter ع (Ayn) appear with two different values?
Ayn's standard Abjad value is 70. It's separately mapped to 5 only to represent the Urdu letter Hamza, which is written similarly but pronounced differently — this mapping is a modern convenience, not a classical Abjad rule.
Are Abjad values the same across Arabic and Urdu text?
The core 28 Arabic letters use identical classical Abjad values. Extra letters used only in Urdu (such as پ, چ, ٹ, and گ) aren't part of the original Abjad system, so this calculator maps them to their closest equivalent Arabic letter.
Is Abjad numerology part of Islamic religious teaching?
Abjad is a historical numbering and linguistic convention used across classical Islamic scholarship, poetry, and record-keeping. It isn't itself a religious ruling or requirement, and views on its spiritual applications vary among scholars.
