Hi Fariborz,
No, the logic is actually based on the fact that Arabic numbers are read left-to-right while Arabic letters are read from right-to-left. So if you tranform the numbers 1-5-2 into Letters you get A-H-B. Since Arabic is read from right-to-left, you read it as BaHA, not AHaB. (Note there is no letter for the first *a* in B*a*ha in Arabic).
Regards,
Hajir

5) Saiedi in "Logos and Civilization" points out the significance of the numberic value of 152. Baha'u'llah signed the Kitab-i-Iqan and some other Tablets with this number. He points that this signified "BahA" in Arabic. The numberic value of "B" is 2, "a" is an accent and does not have a number, "H" is 5, and "A" is 1. Since Arabic is written from right-to-left, Baha'u'llah signed the Iqan as 152, or BHA. Saiedi proposes that the reason Baha'u'llah chose to sign His name in its Numeric Value is because the Bab promised that the Promised One would complete the Bayan, which was left incomplete. The Bayan was supposed to be 19 chapters with 19 sections, but the Bab only completed 11 chapters of 19 sections, so the remaining is 8 chapters of 19 sections. If you multiply 8X19, you get 152.It's very interesting. Just one thought. Even though Arabic words are written from right to left, the numbers are written from left to right. Does that have an effect on the logic above.Fariborz
