Re: 786
Not true 786 comes from Abjad system and in turn numerology. It is not based in the subcontinent … It was used all over the Muslim world. It was devised by early Muslims from their interactions with Greek number system. The actual isopsephy is the representation of numbers using letters and vice-versa. They carry the same meaning or weight … Often azkaar and awraad are given to people according to their numerical weight by their Shuyukh … found common amongst people of Tasuwwuf.
