From your question it makes sense you should ask them. I know of no moslim who has ever mentioned to me that 72 is a special number to them as a group.

Everybody has years that are special to them. Usually those are years of personal accomplishment:

- graduations
- year in which one married

I have no idea who told you that - maybe you should ask that person.
