An ancient calculation system that assigns a numerical value to each letter of the Arabic alphabet, and a centuries-old science of Islamic civilization.
Abjad calculation (Abjad numerals) is an ancient calculation system that assigns a numerical value to each letter of the Arabic alphabet. The word "Abjad" is formed from the combination of the first four letters (Alif-Ba-Jim-Dal) in the old arrangement of the Arabic alphabet. This system has been used in Islamic civilization for centuries in a wide range of fields from astronomy to medicine, from literature to Sufism.
The origins of Abjad calculation date back to pre-Islamic Semitic alphabets. Arabs, Phoenicians and Hebrews used similar numerical alphabet systems. In Islamic civilization, Abjad calculation was widely used especially during the Ottoman period, becoming an important branch of knowledge applied in areas such as chronogram composition, name analysis, compatibility testing and timing.

The name is written in Turkish.
Each letter is converted to its Arabic equivalent according to the table.
The Abjad value of each letter is summed.
The resulting total is the person's Abjad number.
From this number, information about element, zodiac sign, planet and suitable Asma (Divine Name) is derived.
A (Elif) = 1 + L (Lam) = 30 + İ (Ya) = 10 = 41
Element, zodiac sign and character traits are derived from the Abjad value of a person's name.
The Abjad compatibility of two people's names is analyzed.
Destiny analysis is performed based on the person's name and mother's name.
The suitable Asma ul-Husna (Name of Allah) and dhikr count are determined for the person.
