Gematria is a numeric system, occasionally cited in the Talmud and more often in kabbala, in which each Hebrew letter has a number value. Aleph=1, bet=2, gimel=3, dalet=4, hei=5, vav=6, zayin=7, chet=8, tet=9, yud=10, kaf=20, lamed=30, mem=40, nun=50, samekh=60, ayin=70, pei=80, tzadi=90, kuf=100, reish=200, shin=300, tav=400. The final letters and even the vowel points also have number values, but these are rarely used.
It should be mentioned that gematria is not to be used to prove things or to create new concepts. Rather, it may occasionally be cited to bolster a bit of Jewish law or exegesis which stands on its own merits (tradition) and does not rely on numerology alone.

Does the Arabic alphabet have religious significance in Islam like the Hebrew alphabet in Judaism?
Yes, although the bond is not exactly the same. Judaism ascribes words special meanings based on the numerical values of the letters in the words called gematria. Gematria does not exist in Arabic. The Islamic fascination with Arabic comes from the fact that the Qur'an is exclusively in Arabic as well as the beautiful calligraphy used that accentuates the letters' shapes.
