It is a fact that you may be having the best of knowledge, degrees, experiences, background, etc., but if the Forces of Nature are working against you then your life comes to a stand still or is ruined because unknowingly you start making mistakes, hence putting you in greater trouble. When such a situation arises the victim seeks help from spiritual persons. This happens when wrong names are given or wrong marriage combinations take place or your house is against vaastu norms. To get out of such problems is not easy.

One day I met Mr. Mohammad Rahat Hussain, an Arabic Numerologist. I had many problems so I went to take his advice. He told me a few things but it didn't create any interest in me, however, I began to see him often. After a week or so, a lady with her daughter came to seek his advice. She gave the name of a person and then his wife's name. Mr. Rumi calculated and spontaneously said – "Is the man dead?" The answer was – "Yes." Her daughter was the widow. This incident had an impact on me. I forgot about Mr. Rumi's abruptness and started contemplating whether a science could be that accurate. Within a short time my interest for this Science turned into an obsession. I got very much involved in it and began to dig further.

What is Arabic Numerology?

There are numerous Astro-Sciences, such as astrology, palmistry, numerology, horoscope, etc. Of these numerology is suppose to be the most accurate and out of all numerologies, Arabic numerology is the most authentic, accurate and has multi-purpose uses. Numerology in Hindi is called 'Ankh Vidya', in Urdu it is called 'Ilm-e-Adad' and in Arabic it is called 'Ilm-e-Jafr'. The Arabic language has 28 alphabets and each of these alphabets have been given numbers the end product of which are 1 to 9. Though Arabic Numerology can predict the future, yet, we have deliberately omitted this area for religious reasons and with the notion that apart from God no human can predict the future precisely. However, we guide the people to a good future.

Almighty God has created the planetary system in which he attaches every individual to a particular planet that governs and influences his life on this earth. If that individual is attached to the wrong planet owing to his name or marriage combination then he shall suffer. All the prayers become ineffective, because God cannot change the entire system for a few individuals. However, these individuals can change themselves so as to be in harmony with the system. In the words of a renowned Islamic Scholar, Mr. Khwaja Hasan Nizami - "Taqdeer (destiny) has nothing to do with a man's life. It is directly connected to the Theory of Planetary System, which should have been understood by us as did our forefathers (medieval period Arabs)"

What is this Planetary System and how does it affect our life on this earth? The logic behind this is that the man is made of two things:

• Name / Number - that attaches him to his respective planet(s)
• Chemicals - which he receives in the form of rays from those planets.

There are 9 Astro-Planets and there are 9 numbers in numerology. Every number is governed by their respective planets. Each of these planets possess different chemical configuration which influence individuals. Humans absorb chemical rays from their respective planets which develop their characteristics and have direct influence on their future. The chemical deficiencies, which every planet has, cause particular illnesses & bad effects on life. However, there is no scientific reasoning behind this.

To authenticate this, our Guru travelled to Bengal & Bihar, which are the poorest states in India. There he found that 80% of the names and marriage combinations of the people were bad. Then he travelled to Punjab and Haryana, the richest states of India and found that 70% of the names and marriage combinations were good. The names and marriage combinations of the Muslims in Northern and Eastern India were found to be 85% bad, which proves the fact seeing their present conditions. This authenticated our claim to a large extent.

You must have noticed in life that your co-workers who are unmatched to your personality, experience, qualifications, intelligence are your bosses or are much better off than you. The reason is very simple – their name or marriage combination is better than yours, hence that is what gives them an edge and power over you. Arabic Numerology says that name numbers 1,3, and 9 are good and are of those who are successful people, whereas 2,4 and 7 are average name numbers which need the support of above numbers to be effective. The bad numbers are 5, 6 and 8 and are of those who are failures in life.

Now, how these names are calculated? In Arabic Numerology the names are written in Arabic. Each Arabic alphabet has a number. The numbers of each alphabet are added again and again till we derive at a single digit from 1 to 9. That number becomes the person's name number. However, there are various other methods of calculations in other forms of numerologies, such as by Date and Time of Birth, First Alphabet or Full Name.

In Arabic numerology we first take the date of birth and then the first alphabet and lastly the total name number. All these are matched or derived through the best combination. Suppose a girl is born on 2^nd of any given month, we shall match it with her name's first alphabet and then the total name number. If we keep her name, say, Gauri. Gauri as per Arabic numerology is 2, G is also 2 and her date of birth is also 2. This is a very good name. The child will excel in life. But if her date of birth is 8^th of a month, then things will be different. If we keep this child's name as Ambika (2), then that too is a very good name. Ambika starts with 1 and total name number is 2 Ð which is an excellent combination. Now, if we keep her name as Chandni (1), then the first alphabet of her name "Ch(3)" will clash with her total name number (1). Such a person will have minor problems in life. Finally, if we give her 8 number name such as Geeta, she shall then suffer in life.

Hence, the factors that influence a person's characteristics & life are :

• Date & time of birth 10%
• The first alphabet of the name 30%
• The total name number 50%
• Other factors - parental, educational, environmental, etc 10%

To give a boost to the name we usually recommend the people to wear gems and stones that go along with their first alphabet and the total name. This combination has done miracles in the lives of thousands of people.

When calculating the name numbers of such names as Allah, God, Ishwar, Bhagwan, 786 - the end product is 3, which in Arabic Numerology also denotes a religious man if his name number is 3. Isn't this a very strange similarity. We did surveys on the names and found out that different name number people are highly successful in one particular field Number 1 people are very successful as Administrative officers, mafia dons are mostly from No.2, No. 3 & 9 are politicians, No. 4 as business organizers and philosophers, Nos. 5, 6 & 8 are trouble makers, but are excellent sportsmen(6), women actresses(6), male actors (8), No. 9 are successful in all the fields but after a struggle.

These facts do prove something.

HISTORY OF NUMEROLOGY

The Science of numerology can be traced from Prophet Enoch (Prophet Idris in Islam), who was the 7^th descendent of Prophet Adam and the son of Methusala. He should rightly be called the Father of Numerology. The Hebrews learnt these astro-sciences from him, which later spread and created civilizations like that of :

• Babylonia - the land of Prophet Noah
• Chaldea - the land of Prophet Abrahim
• Thamud - the land of Prophet Salih <
  

Metaphysics has been my profession for the past seventeen years. Prior to that, as I studied and learned, I witnessed others trying to fit new ideas into old concepts. Instead of seeing the New Age seekers come together with one mind, I began to see them being divided by their expanded philosophies, with intolerance building. This emotion, intolerance, is in my opinion one of the greatest hindrances to the evolvement of mankind.

I began to search for the threads of sameness, not diversity, to show that the various philosophies were not so different from one another. I found that most differences were semantics, the label or name we used. We adopted an iron-clad rule in my business establishment that philosophical thought, no matter how different it might appear, was to be honored as long as it harmed none. This has given all of us, workers and seekers, the opportunity to broaden our understanding.

Thru the years I realized that neither creationists nor evolutionists were wrong. It was only that we were not seeing the whole picture. This book attempts to show both views are correct; that reincarnation is a fact; that there is an ultimate state of non-physical being; that there is both a masculine and feminine energy guiding mankind; that physical man on Earth receives help from advanced as well as non-physical beings; and that all of this was known and recorded in ancient times in the days of Thoth. Further, that this knowledge is our heritage as well as our legacy; and that Cosmic Cycles of Time affect our knowledge and level of understanding concerning the true nature of man. It further attempts to bring together the New Age community by showing that we are on the same path, even if we don't think so at times.

My hope is that it will strike a note of truth in all who read it, especially general New Age, Christian, and those professing no particular philosophy but who have an interest in what life is all about.

I have spent my entire life searching for answers. At this point in space-time, most knowing seems to be coming from within. I have not attempted, nor do I have the ability, to supply empirical proof. Those who read this book will find their proofs, acceptance or denial within their own being based on where they are in their own personal evolution.

It pivots around Thoth's teachings and also acknowledges that there is a feminine aspect to creative energy working with the masculine aspect of creative energy.

Christains who have expanded their belief system may find answers to some of their unaswered questions.

Those who float between Eastern and Western philosophies and have become confused might find some clarification.

Those locked into a narrow religious view, not accepting evolution nor reincarnation as a possibilty, will probably be disturbed by its implications.

Anthropologists and scientists will probably take issue with the family tree and theory that the whole human race was genetically engineered, all the way back to Homo Habilis.

Even though it refers to Astrology in a general way, and is not intended to be a dissertation on the subject, astrologers might find some interesting concepts on the cycles of time.

Ufologists searching for reasons behind the phenomenon will be able to obtain a broader view of the underlying purpose for these visitations.

We are all on a quest for truth. This book is the result of my own personal quest, and I am honored to share it with you.

There were some synchronistic events involved in the creation of this book and the author has chosen to show such happenings as side notes in the Appendix in order to minimize any aura of mysticism that might be cast over these tables.
