TWELVE (12) FOUNTAINS
              SPRINGING FROM STONE



               And when Moses was looking for water for
                his people, We said, 'Strike the rock with
              your staff.' Then twelve fountains gushed out
              from it and all the people knew their drink-
              ing place. 'Eat and drink of Allah's provision
              and do not go about the earth corrupting it.'
                         (Surat al-Baqara, 60)

                 Number of words in the verse until the expression
             "ithnata ashrata" meaning "twelve" is 12.
                 Number of dotted letters until the expression "infa-
             jarat minhu ithnata AAashrata AAaynan" meaning "the
             twelve fountains gushed out from it [the rock]"; 12.
                 Number of types of letter used in the term "infajarat
             minhu ithnata AAashrata AAaynan" 12.   94



              HELP FROM THREE THOUSAND
                         (3,000) ANGELS


                  And when you said to the believers,
                'Is it not enough for you that your Lord
              reinforced you with three thousand angels,
                   sent down?' (Surat al-Imr'an, 124)


                 The abjad value of the term "thalathati
             alafin mina almala-ikati," meaning "three
             thousand angels," is 3,000. (By major
             abjad calculation)
