Systematic Method for Divine Mathematical Contemplation
Phase 1: Foundational Understanding
🔹 Goal: Establish the relationship between letters, names, and meanings.
Gather the Names of Allah (Asma'ul Husna)
- Ensure each name includes "Al-" (e.g., Al-Haleem, Al-Lateef).
- List the Arabic spelling with correct diacritics.
- Identify the root letters of each name.
Assign Abjad Values
- Convert each letter in the name to its abjad value.
- Sum the values for each full name and for its root letters separately.
- Compare names that share similar abjad values.
Find Quranic Occurrences
- Locate where the name appears in the Qur’an.
- Note if it is paired with another name (e.g., Ar-Rahman & Ar-Raheem).
- Identify the context and meaning of its usage.
Phase 2: Hierarchy & Letter-Based Analysis
🔹 Goal: Examine the order of the letters and names, seeing if they follow patterns.
Analyze Names by Starting Letter
- Identify how many names start with each letter (e.g., one name begins with Lam: Al-Lateef).
- Investigate the significance of that letter in Qur’anic linguistics.
Trace Sequential Letter Patterns
- Look at names that follow each other alphabetically and by abjad value.
- Examine if the transition mirrors a spiritual progression.
- Example: Al-Lateef (Lam) precedes Al-Hadi (Ha) → Does "The Subtle" lead to "The Guide"?
Compare Names That Share Letters
- Look at names that contain the same core letters.
- Example: Al-Halim (حليم) and Al-Haleem (حليم)—different abjad values but same root.
- Ask: Why would Allah distinguish them?
Phase 3: Thematic & Numerical Grouping
🔹 Goal: Organize names into meaningful categories based on numerical and spiritual significance.
Group by Abjad Value Ranges
- Names under 100 → Base spiritual qualities (e.g., Al-Hadi = 20).
- Names 100-500 → Advanced divine attributes.
- Names 500+ → Attributes of universal power and majesty.
Match to Islamic Numerology
- Cross-reference with important numbers in Islam (12 Imams, 14 Masumeen, 99 Names).
- Example: Which names have abjad values of 12, 14, 40, 313, 786?
- Investigate if they connect to divine events, figures, or Surahs.
Find Patterns with Prophet & Imams' Names
- Identify shared root letters between Allah’s names & the names of Ahlul Bayt.
- Example: Al-Hadi (The Guide) & Imam Ali Al-Hadi (AS).
- Look for direct relationships between Allah's names and their manifestations in history.
Phase 4: Application & Reflection
🔹 Goal: Apply these discoveries to personal growth, dhikr, and writing.
Use Names in Dhikr Based on Abjad
- If a name has an abjad value of 88, recite it 88 times in dhikr.
- Choose names based on what is needed in life (e.g., in times of hardship, focus on Ar-Razzaq).
Write Reflections on Name-Patterns
- Keep a journal analyzing spiritual insights based on numerical connections.
- Example: "Why does Al-Lateef (129) come before Al-Hadi (20) in abjad order?"
