This method of calculation is a form of writing which goes back
several centuries and which was widely used before the revelation of
the Qur'an. Everything which happened in Arab history was written
down by attributing numerical values to letters thus the date of every
event was recorded. These dates were obtained by adding up the par-
ticular numerical values of every letter employed.

can also be seen to be referring to the 1969 moon landing and the stud-
ies performed on the Moon land. (Allah knows best.) In fact, there is
another very important indication here: Some of the "abjad" values of
