Letter Vav

Information about the Letter Vav: Ibn Arabi said about the letter Vav: "Vav manifests and appears in the chosen among the chosen. The end of the path belongs to it." Vav is the 27th letter of the Arabic alphabet. It is also found in Hebrew and Ottoman alphabets besides Arabic. According to the Islamic science of Abjad, it corresponds to the number "6". The number "6" signifies the "6 articles of faith" in Islam. Additionally, it is related to the creation of the universe. It symbolizes the creation of the universe in "6" days. The letter Vav also represents the divine name "Wahid" (the One). When two Vav letters appear together, they correspond to the number "66", which symbolizes the word "Allah" in Sufism. Besides its divine meanings, the letter Vav also has a symbolic shape. In appearance, Vav resembles the posture of a human in the womb and in prostration. The state of prostration is the closest state to Allah, where we deeply acknowledge our servitude to Him. Thus, the letter Vav reminds us of servitude. It is a symbol of servitude.
