HISTORY OF NUMEROLOGY The Science of numerology can be traced as back as times before Prophet Noah. Numerology & astrology began with Prophet Enoch ( Prophet Idris in Islam), who was the 7th descendent of Prophet Adam & the son of Methusala. He should rightly be called the Father of Numerology & not Pythagoras, who was born thousands of years later. It is said that the angels themselves taught him many things which he introduced to the world. He gave to the world the Hebrew script, arithmetic, astro - sciences, the concept of pyramid, stitching of garments, etc. The Hebrews learnt these astro - sciences from him, which later spread & created many known civilizations. The Bible also gives factual references related to numerology, i.e. change of names of prophets according to the task they were to perform. Abram's name was changed to Abraham, Jacob's to Israel, Saul's name to Paul. This would mean that if they were given the task of destroying something then probably they would have been given name numbers 5, 6 or 8, like that of Moses, who destroyed the defiant Egyptians & David who destroyed the Goliath & his army. This by itself proves that in life the name of a person, place or thing is of paramount important. Pythagoras, the great mathematician, is called the father of numerology. An Italian but he spent most of his time in Greece. He did enrich the Science to the greatest level and added new concepts. Greeks introduced it to the Romans. The Caesarian child was one of the many indications of numerology being practiced by the Romans. The people of all great civilizations knew that these sciences were a prelude to power and shortest cut to prosperity. All of them understood the fact that these Sciences help us to understand ourselves better, which further helps us to conduct our lives in a more orderly & organised manner. . The Arabs of the 7th & 8th centuries, highly influenced by the Indian & Hebrew astro - sciences, perfected them with more accuracy & introduced many new concepts. Their astro-sciences created sensations all over Europe & Middle - East between 12th to 17th centuries.It was their work in different sciences that was recommended in European universities till the 17th century. It is after this the European Renaissance began. In actual it was they who gave the world the modern revolution that we see today. Hazrat Ali who initiated many things had an extensive knowledge on these sciences which were perfected by Imam Jaafar Al Sadiq, who made it reach its zenith. His disciples, such as Jaber Bin Hayyan & many more Arab Scientists influenced Europe, where as Bahlol Dana, a friend of Guru Nanak, influenced West Asia & the Sub - Continent. lkHowever, with time this science perished. There were numerous reasons behind. The Oxford Dictionary say’s, ”Astrology, long seen as applied astronomy, was developed by the Greeks and reached Christian Europe via the Arabs. It was a utilitarian Science linked to medicine and agriculture, as well as an ambitious philosophical system resting on the belief that stars influence the events of the world and can be used to predict events such as wars, plagues and the weather. During the Renaissance Popes such as Paul III(1468 – 1549) were enthusiastic patrons, and many rulers employed court astrologers for both political and medical assistance, Nostradamus being the best known. A papal bull of 1586 condemned astrology as used in the prediction of human affairs, but its decline was slow. It retains a more reputable standing in many parts of the East, and has enjoyed a revival in the West in recent years”. This science, partially, has now been revived by us for the benefit of mankind. We have now become an authority on this subject, with experience of many years. Keeping a child's name or business name or curing illnesses, or providing solutions to childless couples or about marriage combinations no science is as perfect as Arabic Numerology. It is a Science endowed with divine power.
