Abstract (EN)
In order to facilitate people's daily lives, the fact that they express sounds with symbols has revealed letters and numbers to express the existence of the concrete in an abstract way. At first, each letter represented a number. This letter - number pairing, which initially arose out of necessity, has changed size over time due to the meanings attached to letters and numbers. When studying ancient cultures and civilizations, similar features of numbers and alphabets used by different cultures were noted. It is also noteworthy that the same numbers are given sanctity in divine and human religions, number and letter systems are matched in religions, and letters are used to express numerical values and various meanings are extracted from this. For example, letter-number matching, called gemetria in Judaism, appears as an ebced account in Islam. These similarities are not accidental. The efforts to make sense of the universe based on the number of planets they saw with their eyes starting from the Sumerians in ancient times have been replaced by the views that Pythagoras explained God and the universe through numbers. These views influenced not only civilizations, but also heavenly religions. For this reason, it is possible to say that it is fed from a common source. The Hurûfîsm that Fazlullah Hurûfî founded and systematized is the study of understanding man, the universe and God using the Qur'an and the Iranian alphabet. Hurûfîsm is a school founded in Iran by Fazlullah Estarabadi, who argues that there is a mystery behind Faith, Worship and everything that exists in the universe, and that this mystery is hidden in 28 Arabic letters and 32 Persian letters. According to Hurûfîsm, knowing the secret of these numbers, the first place of which is the face of Adam, means reaching the truth of God and having a settled faith.
