THE NAMES OF GOD

The Quran with its mathematical code is an extraordinary book. It is miraculous in a way that it points to scientific issues and explains scientific subjects impossible to be known in the 7th century. This book answers to such questions as where we came from, why we exist and what we should do. This book describes the existence, the unity, the power and the mercy of God. The Quran speaks about God and introduces God as the merciful, the creator and the forgiver. Description of God is the most important message of the Quran. Since God is the most important issue of the Quran, now let us examine the repetitions of God’s names in the Quran and their numerical values.

Let us remember what numerical value of a word is. The 28 letters of the Arabic Alphabet have numerical values from 1 to 9, from 10 to 20 and from 100 to 1000. When the Quran was revealed, the same letters were also used for mathematical use. In this way, every letter, every word and every sentence has a numerical value. (People used some methods like writing in red ink or drawing a line on those letters to avoid the confussion between the letters for mathematics and for writting.)

Although people believe that God has 98 names, we see there are many more names of God in the Quran. Now, you will witness the 123 names of God in the list below. In this list you will see the numerical values and the number of the repetition of these names.
