Reciting a name as many times as its abjad value is a common custom; it is neither fard nor wajib. In the Dua Kitaplığı app's dhikr counter, this name comes ready with its target count.
Awwal means the One who has no beginning and exists before all things. Priority here is not a first point within time; since time itself is created, Awwal is before time. It forms a pair with the name Akhir.
In the Quran: Surah al-Hadid, verse 3, says: “He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden.”
It means the One before whom there is nothing. Since He has no beginning, even the word “first” is used for Him figuratively.
