786 Number is used by Muslim community and they have very serious intentions for this number. According to them, It means that "starting with the name of GOD and all praises are only for GOD.

What else do you know about it. Any personal experience with this number?

i had a discussion with maulvi and just by chance i asked him about the craziness of Muslims for the number 786. he told me that
the quran -i - sharif has 786 pages.

The Arabic letters of the opening phrase of the Qur'an sum to the numerical value 786 in the system of Abjad numerals. Not all Muslims place emphasis on this numerological analysis; however, some — mostly in Pakistan, India, Myanmar and Bangladesh — use 786 as a substitute for Bismillah ("In the name of Allah" or "In the name of God").

The numeral 786 represents the abjad [letter-numeral] value of the Basmala [‘Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem’]. If there is fear of disrespect for the Basmala if written in full then it may be preferable to use the number 786 instead.

That is great effort from Mr. Budhail. I really appreciate that feeling.

Thanks a lot for your contribution dear Budhail. Reputation added....

Cya tc.

This digit used in place of "In the name of God, the most merciful" is totally fabricated by some people who known to be scholars and it could be only seen in society who are ignorent about Quran and its purpose. Infact, In Islam nothing is unpractical. Hence "Bismillah.."could not be altered or replaced by digit, it has to be identified by all human with its purpose. There is nothing to hide from any one as it is revealed for all human kind.
