You should know the interpretation of ‘Abjad since all the wonders lie in it. Shame on a scholar who doesn’t know its interpretation!’ He asked, ‘O Prophet of God! What is the interpretation of ‘Abjad?’ The Prophet (MGB) said, ‘And the ‘alif is the first letter in Allah. It is one of the letters of His Name. And the ‘ba is the first letter in the Arabic ‘Behjat Allah which means God’s Pleasure. And the ‘jim is the first letter of the Arabic words ‘jinnah Allah which mean God’s Paradise; ‘jamal Allah which means God’s Beauty and ‘jalal Allah which means God’s Majesty. And the ‘dal is the first letter in the Arabic words ‘Din Allah which mean God’s Religion.About ‘hawaz’, you should know that the ‘ha is for fear of Hell. Shame on him who is thrown into the Fire of Hell. And the ‘wa is the second letter in the Arabic words ‘fawayl le ahlen Nar which means shame on in ‘Shame on the residents of the Fire.’ And the ‘za is the first letter in the Arabic word ‘zaviaa which refers to a corner - God forbid - from the various corners of Hell. The ‘hata is the first letter in the Arabic word ‘hutut which refers to the shedding down of the sins of those who repent on the Night of Power on which Gabriel and all the angels pray all night until dawn. And about the ‘T in ‘Fatooba lahum va hosne ma’ab (Usually translated as ‘Blessed be’) you should know that Tooba is a tree which the Honorable the Exalted God planted with his own Hand, and blew into it from His own Spirit! Tooba is the name of a Heavenly tree which is rooted in the Prophet’s (MGB) house. Its branches can be seen from the outside the walls around Paradise. And about the ‘Ya it refers to ‘Yadullah - that is God’s Hand which is above all His creatures. He is Glorified, and Sublime and has no partners. And the ‘kaf in ‘kalman refers to ‘Kalamullah implying that there can be no changing of God’s sayings and there are no protectors other than God. And the ‘lam in ‘kalman refers to the associations of the residents of Paradise; their visiting one another; and their greeting each other. It also refers to the mutual blaming of the residents of Hell. And the ‘mim in ‘kalman refers to God’s Dominion which never ends and God’s Persistence which never ends. The ‘nun in ‘kalman refers to ‘Nun. By the Pen and the (Record) which (men) write.’ And the Pen is from Light; the Record is from Light. They are on a Tablet that is safeguarded. The nearby-stationed angels are witnesses to it. Their testimony suffices for God. The ‘sad in ‘safas refers to ‘sa which means a scale by which everything you do is measured. Indeed God would not stand any oppressions be done to the people. The ‘qarasht means that God will resurrect them and bring them all back on the Resurrection Day and judge them.”Sadooq added, “I have compiled whatever is related to the meaning of the letters of the alphabet in ‘Abjad in my book Ma’ani al-Akhbar.”
