Answer 1

Worth trying to sell it for a quick buck Alyson. Place it in licence plate ad. Some people may be willing to pay a lot of money, for something thats not important to you!

Answer 2

the numbers 786 has nothing to do with Islam its just muslims who make up things like 786 and all that. Especially people from pakistan and india and other few countries believe so extremely into 786 but islamically it has nothing to do with islam, the Quran or prophet Muhammed (pbuh) or even Allah (swt). Some people with no knowledge say it stands for Bismillah hir rahman hir raheem which means in the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful, which is not true. So dont get 786 and Islam mixed up.

Answer 3

it's reflect the phrase of "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim",in english it's means "In the name of The God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful"

"786" is the total value of the letters of "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim". In Arabic there are two methods of arranging letters. One method is the most common method known as the alphabetical method. Here we begin with Alif, ba, ta, tha etc. The other method is known as the Abjad method or ordinal method. In this method each letter has an arithmetic value assigned to it from one to one thousand. The letters are arranged in the following order: Abjad, Hawwaz, Hutti, Kalaman, Sa'fas, Qarshat, Sakhaz, Zazagh. This arrangement was done, most probably in the 3rd century of Hijrah during the 'Abbasid period, following other Semitic languages such as Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, Chaldean etc.

If you take the numeric values of all the letters of the Basmalah, according to the Abjad order, the total will be 786. In the Indian subcontinent the Abjad numerals became quite popular. Some people, mostly in India and Pakistan, use 786 as a substitute for Bismillah. They write this number to avoid writing the name of Allah or the Qur'anic ayah on ordinary papers. This tradition is not from the time of the Prophet -peace be upon him- or his Sahabah. It developed much later, perhaps during the later 'Abbasid period. We do not know of any reputable Imams or Jurists who used this number instead of the Bismillah.

Answer 4

786 number has no link with ISLAM. This is misunderstanding by Muslim. those who are not knowing real Islam. In Islam Muslim has to read Quraan and know the what Allah says through Quraan. and follow the principles given by prophet Muhammad Salallahu Alaihi Wasllam(pubh).
