ABJAD
In modern Arabic, the word ʾabjadiyyah means “alphabet” in general.
The 28 letters of the Arabic alphabet are assigned numerical values (see attached chart).

This system is the basis  of ‘Ilmul Jafr. Al-Jafr refers to a sheep’s skin on which Imam Ali (pbuh)  inscribed the knowledge of all that will happen in the future.  The term ‘ilm al-jafr is the way of getting supernatural forces and operations of  alchemy.
‘Ilm al-jafr starts from the premise that the entire cosmos can be represented by the twenty-eight letters of the Arabic alphabet. This goes back to Imam Ja’far Sadi (pbuh), in his alchemical treatises as dictated to his disciple Jabir ibn Hayyan. According to Jabir’s treatise, the names of things contain a  power, representing the elements that make up that thing.

The abjad sequence, and runs as follows:
‎ا ب ج د ه و ز ح ط ي ك ل م ن س ع ف ص ق ر ش ت ث خ ذ ض ظ غ
The way to channel this  energy either through zhikr (recitation) or   ta’widh (amulet)  is to use one of the Names of Allah or a relevant verse of Qur’an. For example, a healing zhikr or  ta’widh can be based on the Name of Allah Shafi, which is spelled ش ا ف ي, which equals 300 + 1 + 70 + 10 = 381. If one wanted to calculate a number that was designed to heal a person named Ahmad, one would for the sum of the relevant name of Allah (shafi) to Ahmad, which is 381 + 53 = 434………
