The Numerical Value of God's Names
I would like to draw your attention to an important topic.
There are Muslim and Hindu astrologists
who study the celestial objects
and different planets.
Then there are numerical values attached to one's name.
One's name has a profound impact on one's personality.
For example, in the Hindu culture, before a person gets married to someone,
they check each other's Kundli (horoscopes)
to ascertain the most blessed day and time for the wedding.
The astrologist will make a chart for the man and the woman
and find out the alignments of the planets and stars.
He tells them which day would suit them both.
He checks the alignments of the planets according to their horoscopes and tells them which day is the best.
The day chosen by the astrologist is known as the auspicious day for the wedding ceremony.
Isn't that right?
Now, your name has a number.
Every name has a numeric value.
Every name
has a numeric value.
Right?
In a similar way,
all of the religions established in this world
have their own respective names for God.
They have their own respective names for God.
Some call him Khuda.
Some call him Rehman, others call him Bhagwan or Rahim.
Right?
All of the names that allude to God have a different numeric value.
You may conduct an experiment.
Let's say you conduct an experiment on Muslims.
Tell one person to recite 'Ya Rehmano' on the rosary beads every day.
Tell another to recite 'Ya Rahimo' every day.
One practises the invocation of Ya Rehmano, the other; Ya Rahimo
After a couple of months, the two will have an altercation.
One will have the effects of the numerical value of Rehman, the other will be affected by Rahim; they will clash.
What will happen? They will clash.
Those who talk about unification -
Look, when people ave God many different names in their own languages,
it created a lot of trouble.
And this trouble
has never been identified by any.
Every name has a numeric value.
and everybody is under the effect of that value.
So some people call upon him
with the word God.
Some others use Raam.
And others; Rahim.
And then Om.
Some use Khuda.
Some others use Yahweh.
Some others say
Allah Hu.
So every name has a different numeric value.
Now, 10,000 people use the name of God.
They remember God; every day, every night.
The rosary doesn't stop.
They will come under the effect of that name and the numeric value of that name.
Now, another 10,000 people use a different name for God.
For example, Khuda.
They will come under the effect of the numeric value of that name.
This will create a problem.
And this has created a problem.
This has created a problem.
Now, His Holiness Gohar Shahi said, 'If the entire humanity just uses one name of God,
then they will all be under the same effect of the same numeric value'.
This is another way, another step towards unification.
Now, this is very important.
Do you understand what I said?
Now, for example, the Zikar of Ra Riaz.
All those who practise the Zikar of Ra Riaz - whether they are Hindus or Christians - are all united.
It's true. They are united.
They love each other.
However, those who practise the Zikar of Allah Hu -
The numeric values of Allah Hu are also different.
There is an Allah Hu with a hook at the end which denotes 'M' [for Mohammad]. It has a different numeric value.
Right?
And then there is one with an 'R' attached to it.
It has a different numeric value.
Now, the temperament of those who invoke upon the Allah Hu with 'M' will clash with the ones who invoke upon the Allah Hu with 'R'.
This is the reason why Imam Mehdi HDE Gohar Shahi declared that in the final episode of this world,
the differences between religions will be omitted.
Although all individuals will be permitted to worship in accordance with their religion, however,
all of their hearts will be activated with one name of God.
When everyone's hearts will be activated with the same name of God, everyone will be under the effects of the numeric value of one name of God.
Everyone will be affected in the same way.
Everyone will have an equal effect.
This was an important point
that I wanted you all to understand.
I hope you understood it.
Everybody has a different name for God and it has caused a lot of problems.
Just look at Hindus for example.
Let's say one person is a devotee of Lakshmi
and others follow other deities; they don't allow each other to enter their temples.
This is all due to the different numeric values of the names that allude to God.
One is a devotee of one deity, one of another, one of another, etc.
And people have picked their temples too.
This person will go to the Lakshmi temple only, none else.
This is another reason why problems are created.
'He goes to the Raam temple'. 'Really? Well, I don't. I go to the Lakshmi temple'.
There is no doubt [the Hindu deities] are reflections of God.
However, the effects are different.
Try to understand what I'm saying here.
Now, if all the Muslims invoke upon Allah Hu, they will all become united.
I asked Sultan Haq Bahu, 'You left the entire Quran for except one letter - Alif (A) - with which you invoked upon Allah Hu. Why?'
He told me that every word has a different numeric value.
Due to which solidarity and togetherness cannot be established.
*Sultan Haq Bahu's poetry*
Did you understand what I said?
People recite 'Bismillahir Rehmanir Rahim' - the numerical values are all different; you won't get anything from this.
You have to extract the essence from this.
What is the essence of the entire Quran? God's Personal Name, Allah.
It is the essence of the entire Quran.
You understand?
The essence
of the entire book
is God's name.
The essence of the entire Quran is God's name.
It must be synchronised with the beating system of the heart.
When the hearts of the entire humanity beat with the one name of God, all will become Godly.
When everybody has the same name of God resounding in their hearts then everybody will come under the same effect of God's name.
They will all be affected by the numeric value of 66.
Now, for example in Pakistan and in India,
it is uncommon for people to say Prophet Mohammad's name, rather they say 'Huzoor Pak'.
Now, don't be offended
but when I was a child, I had only heard the word 'Huzoor' used to address Prophet Mohammad (PBUH).
And when I grew up, I heard a ghazal by Mehdi Hassan:
''Say something, Huzoor''
I heard this and I was puzzled.
I thought, 'What a disrespectful way of addressing the Prophet!'
I had no idea!
I was under the impression that 'Huzoor' is the name of Prophet Mohammad.
It was when I was older that I realised it is not the Prophet's name but the term used in India and Pakistan to address the Prophet.
If you were to converse with someone who speaks a high standard of Urdu,
you would see they use the term 'Huzoor' frequently.
They use 'Huzoor' to address everyone [specifically, males].
But it is not inaccurate; it is part of the language.
So the name of our beloved Prophet - Mohammad (PBUH) -
if everyone calls upon the Prophet with one name, it will bring solidarity.
But some people call the Prophet 'Huzoor', others call him 'Kali Kamli Wala'.
Some say 'Ahmed e Mustafa' or 'Mujtaba'.
So many names have been attached yet no spiritual grace is earned from any.
If you take this in a negative way then you will be punished by God
because my intentions are to apprise you of the truth.
And the truth is that all must use the same name
so that everyone can come under the effects of one name.
For example, Mohammad (PBUH). If everyone starts calling upon the Prophet with his name, it will generate an abundance of spiritual grace.
We have the Durood Sharif (Benedictions upon the Prophet) - it is very lengthy.
You could just recite: Salallahu Alaika Ya Mohammad.
I asked His Divine Eminence the reason behind shortening the Durood and He explained that this short version includes the name of the Prophet, Mohammad (PBUH).
All the spiritual grace is to be earned from the name; the rest of the words are redundant.
All of the spiritual grace comes from the Prophet's name, Mohammad (PBUH).
''Light up the world with the name Mohammad'' - Allama Iqbal
That won't happen on its own.
It will happen when Prophet Mohammad's name illumines the hearts.
If everyone -
Everyone.
If everyone is enlightened with Prophet Mohammad's name, the effect will be the same on all.
Now, I told our people to say 'Gohar Shahi Marhaba' when they meet each other.
As a result of which, they all came under the same effect.
Gohar Shahi Marhaba - Gohar Shahi Marhaba.
Gohar Shahi Marhaba
Everyone came under the effect of His Divine Eminence's name.
What happened? [Audience replies]
Similarly, ALRA also has a numeric value.
The numeric value [of ALRA] is 1150.
What is it? [Audience replies]
1150.
So every name has a different numeric value.
Imam Mehdi (as)
will unite all the common people with the Personal Name of God, Allah.
And the special souls will be united with ALRA.
The temperament of the entire humanity will become one.
