Worked example

Letter-by-letter

To calculate a word, you take each letter’s value and add them together.

الله

ا = 1
ل = 30
ل = 30
ه = 5

Total = 1 + 30 + 30 + 5 = 66

The calculator does the same summation automatically, and will warn you if it encounters characters outside the standard Abjad set.
