Ilm-e-jafar is a branch of knowledge which is based on the numerical values of alphabets.
Each letter in the Arabic abjad/alphabets has been assigned a numerical value. On the basis of these values
numerous calculations can be done. In order to gain mastery over ilm-e-hafar it is essential to know the
abjad and their numerical values as well. The 6th Imam, Abdullah Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) was a great scholar
and the founder of this branch of knowledge. Ilm-e-jafar implies knowledge of Jafar. This branch of
knowledge can be used to unravel the mysteries of the universe. Keep Me In Your Prayers. Amel Soname
