And because of what I have mentioned, I found myself compelled to stop and examine what Al-Tirmidhi and Al-Darimi narrated in their Sunan from Al-Sunbi Muhammad, peace be upon him, describing the Great Quran as: "Its wonders never cease." I searched for the first step that I would make my starting point in a journey to count these wonders, with my certainty that numerical miracles are at their head. And the step I was looking for was right before me in His Almighty saying: "And your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful." (Al-Baqarah, 2:163) The word "one," mentioned in the verse and referring to the Oneness of God Almighty, its numerical value according to the calculation of Al-Jummal is 19. And Al-Jummal calculation, in brief, is an ancient calculation that predates Islam itself. The Arabs used it before the revelation of Islam. Therefore, it is considered among the sciences of the Arabic language that the Lord of the Worlds chose to be the language of the last book revealed by Gabriel to mankind. It is a science based on assigning a numerical value to each letter of the alphabet, as follows: Letter | Value | Letter | Value | Letter | Value | Letter | Value ------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | -------- | --------أ | 1 | ق | 100 | غ | 1000 ب | 2 | ك | 20 | ر | 200 ج | 3 | ل | 30 | ش | 300 د | 4 | م | 40 | ت | 400 ه | 5 | ن | 50 | ث | 500 و | 6 | س | 60 | خ | 600 ز | 7 | ع | 70 | ذ | 700 ح | 8 | ف | 80 | ض | 800 ط | 9 | ص | 90 | ظ | 900 1. The letters: أ, ب, ج, د, ه, و, ز, ح, ط. are assigned the values 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 respectively.

2. The letters: ي, ك, ل, م, ن, س, ع, ف, ص. are assigned the values 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 respectively.

3. The letters: ق, ر, ش, ت, ث, خ, ذ, ض, ظ, غ. are assigned the values 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 respectively.
