why is this number so important???
Re: 786
not important
Re: 786
some people think it signifies the word 'bismillah'
i am not sure however, as to how true this is ...
Re: 786
anyone else know how it signifies "bismillah"?
Re: 786
The "mathematical" value of "BismillahirRahmanirRaheem" has been computed to be 786 by Rashad Khalifa, hence people began using it to keep the sanctity.....
Re: 786
how is this value calculated?

Don't belive every website you come across.
786 is meaningless.
Re: 786
786 is meaningless... whats the point of that......
why not create some other 3 number digits for the kalima?
Re: 786
Yup, meaningless indeed.
Re: 786
Bismillah, alhamdulillah wa sallallahu ^ala rasulillah,
Like brother Captain1 said, 786 is a calculation to the Arabic letters in Hisab Al-Jummal (gematrical calculation). Allah knows if it's valid to use it for Qur'an. I would not. But I will explain further who this works.
*Hisab al-Jummal is a cacluclation that assigns every letter in Arabic a digit. *
Alif = 1
Ba' = 2 ... and so on.
But the sequence is: 1,2,3... to 10, 20 - 100, 200 - 1000
**The letters would be as follows:
أبجد هوز حطى :
(أ=1) (ب=2) (ج=3) (د=4) (هـ=5) (و=6) (ز=7) (ح=8) (ط=9) (ى=10).
كلمن سعفص قـ:
(ك=20) (ل=30) (م=40) (ن=50) (س=60) (ع70) (ف=80) (ص=90) (ق100).
ـرشت ثخذ ضغظ:
(ر=200) (ش=300) (ت=400) (ث=500) (خ=600) (ذ=700) (ض=800) (غ=900) (ظ=1000).**
Scholars used to say a line of Poem, and at same time that line would give a secret code of when that poem was authored.
Example:
A poet used it in talking about the rules of Tajweed. He made a poem stating the rules of the Arabic letters, and in the end of the poem he said:
أبـيـاتـه نـدٌّ بـدا لـذِى النُّـهى تـاريـخـها بشـرى لـمـن يتقنهــا
The last stanza means "it's date is a good news to the one who masters it". That in Arabic, when calculated in Jummal calculation, gave the year he aughtored that book in. Which was year 1189 after Hijrah.
Islamic poets are very inteligent. They will say a line of poem instantly that has a beautifull meaning and at the same time gives you a the date or time using Hisab al-Jummal.
NOW, as for using that Hisab to calculate the Qur'an, I have never heard if it's valid or not. SO Allah knows if its valid to use it for the Qur'an. But I would not.
Scholars used it for Islamic poems only.
