Salamz...
i got this email n wuz breath taken....mashaAllah it showz the miracles of the quran n how NO person can deny this TRUTH!!

Dr. Tariq Al Suwaidan discovered some verses in the Holy Quran that mention one thing is equal to another, i.e. man is equal to women.  although this makes sense grammatically, the astonishing fact is the number of times the word man appears in the quran is 24 and the number of times the word woman appears is also 24, therefore not only is this phrase correct in the grammatical sense, but also true mathematically (24=24).  upon further analysis of various other verses, he discovered that this is consistent throughout the whole Quran, where it says one thing is like another.  See below for the astonishing results:

the word number of times mentioned in Arabic Quran:

Dunia (one name for life) 115
Aakhirat (one name for the life after) 115

Mala'ikat (angels) 88
Shaytan (satan) 88

Life 145
Death 145

Benefit 50
Corrupt 50

People 50
Messengers 50

Eblees (king of devils) 11
Seek refuge from eblees 11

Museebah (calamity) 75
Thanks 75

Spending (sadaqah) 73
Satisfaction 73

People who are Mislead 17
Dead people 17

Muslimeen 41
Jihad 41

Gold 8
Easy life 8

Magic 60
Fitnah (dissuasion, misleading) 60

Zakat (taxes Muslims pay for the poor) 32
Barakah (increasing or blessings of a wealth) 32

Mind 49
Noor (light) 49

Tongue 25
Sermon 25

Desire 8
Fear 8

Speaking publicaly 18
Publicising 18

Hardship 114
Patience 114

Muhammad (PBUH) 4
Sharee'ah (Muhammad's teaching) 4

Man 24
Woman 24

And amazingly enough have a look at how many times words appear:-

Salaat (prayer) 5
Month 12
Day 365

Sea 32
Land 13
Sea + land = 32 + 13= 45

%sea= 32/45 * 100% = 71.11111111
%land= 13/45 * 100% = 28.88888889

Modern Science has only recently proved that the water covers 71.111% of the earth, while land covers 28.889%
Is this a coincidence? Who taught the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) all this?
Allah, the All Mighty taught him this.
As the Quran tells us:
' (This is) a Book, the verses whereof are perfected (in every sphere of knowledge, etc.), and then explained in detail from One (Allah), Who is All-Wise and Well-Acquainted (with all things).'
(Quran 11:1)

The above is from the series of the scientific miracles in Quran, by Dr.Tariq Al Suwaidan.

Pretty amazing Huh?? see wut i mean by breath taken? Subhan Allah

Salamu Aliakom,

Well all these facts about numbers are very interesting but I was told that the whole number thing and linking it to Quran is trivial. I remember listening to a Shaikh Hamza Yusuf tape and he mentioned how someone said that laylat al qadr is on the 27th of Ramadan due to the fact that the surah about it has a connection to the number 27. So a person replied back saying

"hatha min milh al 3ilm, wa laisa min lub al 3ilm". Meaning, that this is the salt of the knowledge and not the core or center of it.

Like someone once told me how the number 786 means bismillah? I didn't see the connection between the two. Maybe I'm missing something ...

Wa Allahu A3laam

as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatAllahi wa barakatuh,

That's not even mentioning the whole "nineteen" group aka Submitters.. started by a man (Rashad Khalifa) who attributed a certain numerical value to each letter of the Quran and then claimed each verse adds up to the numerical value of nineteen... and also took the verse 74:30 ("Over it is nineteen..." ) out of context.  Then when some verses didn't fit this formula he *took them out* of the Quran.  He claimed to be a prophet and then later on even claimed to be Allah..

they're still an active group unfortunately, may Allah guide us.

So things like that are the reason we're so uptight about this numerical value stuff.. we've  seen what can happen when these things are taken into extremes, so we need to be careful..

Alhamdulillah, what you posted was very cool... but it's like an added bonus to the beauty of the Quran, you know what I mean?  It doesn't *prove* anything... it just adds to the beauty and wonder of the Quran..

wasalaam..


786: 7 arabic letters, 8 letters, 6 arabic letters

AsalamAlay.com,

786:

In Arabic, Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem,

has SEVEN letters in the first 'Bismillah'
Has EIGHT letters in the middle 'ar Rahman'
and SIX arabic letters in 'ar Raheem'.

So, instead of putting the Entire Bismillah in
arabic at the top of pages, the shorthand is
to use, well, ARABIC numerals in fact, numbers
7 8 and 6 as a representation.

This also helps those of us who detest Collecting
Flyers with Qur'an words on them, only then
earning a dilemma of what to do with
time dated muslim event flyers with 'Bismillah'
in Arabic at the top.

PS... DON'T use 786 as your PINs or ID numbers.

NON-MUSLIM cracker types, when they realize this
number's significance in islam, may try to use
it to access your accounts, whatever they may be!

Salam,

You bro in T.O.,

The one and only,

~ HiMY! ~

The numerals 786 in no way represent ‘Bismillaah al-Rahmaan
al-Raheem’ and is not the Sunnat way. If one fears abuse of the letter,
etc. ‘Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem’ should be recited verbally at
the beginning of the letter which will suffice for the written script.
Refer below.

Mufti Ebrahim Desai

CAN NUMBER 786 REPLACE THE HOLY NAME OF GOD?

The innovation of writing '786' replacing 'Bismillaah al-Rahmaan
al-Raheem' has been adopted for a long time and the majority of the Ummah is
still indulged in it inadvertently.

Apart from the common folk, the scholars also heed no attention towards
it and to avoid disrespect to the Holy Words they use it in their
letters and documents. They adopt it as 'correct' and 'better' way to invite
Allah's blessings and have also started replacing the Holy Words by
this number on their houses, offices, buildings, etc. Unfortunately, this
tendency is gradually gaining momentum.

But, do we see this number instead of the Holy Words in the Holy
Qur'aan? Or, can we write it there as well? can we remove 'Bismillaah
al-Rahmaan al-Raheem' from the top of Surah al-Faatiha and replace it with the
number 786? Obviously not.
If we study the Qur'aan, we see it carries the holy words in a letter
from Prophet Solomon (pbuh) to the Queen of Sheeba - Bilqis - who was an
infidel at that time. Even Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in his letters to
different heads of states and governments, used the holy words at the
top.

Therefore, whosoever uses 786 with the intention to obtain Allah's
blessings, is a misguided person and any attempt to justify it, is
ignorance.

More astonishing is that fact that '786' is an aggregation of the
numbers of Hindu 'Lord Hari Krishna'.
H(a)iri Kr(i)shna
h-5, r-200, r-10, k-20, r-200, sh-300, n-50, a-1 = Aggregate of 786

Thus, the aggregate number of these letters (Hari Krishna) equals 786.
This is also the case of 'Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem'. Therefore,
it is necessary to avoid using this number to avoid the danger of being
indulging in infidelity.
Islam's foundation is laid on the belief in Tawheed (oneness of God).
If we associate anyone with Allah's exalted names orally or practically,
we would be committing infidelity which is an unpardonable sin.

The Qur'aan warns us, one who finds a rival against Allah, Allah will
never allow him to enter paradise, and his abode is the hell.

The letters by the Prophet (pbuh) to non-Muslim Kings and chiefs bear
the holy words 'Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem'. This was also the case
of his noble companions. Did the Prophet (pbuh) and his companions
respect the Holy Words less than we do? Was the verse, 'Today I completed
your religion for you', revealed to the Prophet (pbuh) or to the
socalled scholars of our age who are all bent to amend the Divine principles.

Now, when it became known that '786' is written in place of Hindu,
'Lord Krishna', and has no significance in the Holy Qur'aan and Sunnah, it
is obviously an innovation and goes against the Divine doctrine of
'Obey Allah and His Prophet'.
Similarly, some Muslims replace Allah's name by the number '66' and the
Prophet's name by '92'. But if one ask, the number '420' is used
against somebody's name and he is called '420'. Can he bear such an insult?

Calling someone by a nick name is a sin. Allah Ta'ala says, 'Don't call
one another by nick names'. If Allah prohibits the use of nicknames for
fellow human beings, how can He allow the use of such insulting
replacement number for Himself and His Prophet (pbuh).

'Bismillaah al-Rahmaan al-Raheem' great significance in the Qur'aan and
Muslims are ordered to begin any work but in the names Allah, not in
the number of '786' or any other substitution.

Assalamualaikum

I had always wondered what the reasoning behind that "786" was. I think its pretty common in India/Pakistan (as with so many other "different" things) although I've never seen it being used by any arab muslims. But they've got carried away with all this numbers game. Ive seen shops in India having little plaques with squares and some nos. or just some  arabic alphabets(the munqata'aat in the Quran) written on them. And when asked why they've put that up they say its for "protection"! and since they cant write the entire surah they just sum it up with numbers or alphabets!
Using the Quran for such kind of "protection" is in itself doubtful let alone try to "summarize" it in numbers.

May Allah guide us all. Ameen

Here is what Dr. Siddiqi the president of ISNA said:

"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.

It is better that we use Bismillah, rather than using any mystery numbers. There is a great blessing in reciting Bismillah before any important act.

We are instructed not to use nicknames?   Does that mean that some of our names on this board are wrong?

What about "Abu Hurairah" (r.a.), forgive my spelling?  I am under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that this was a nickname ("father of the little cat" ) given to him by Prophet Muhummad(s.a.a.w.s).

I'm confused.  Any helpers?

A brother published a small pamphlet a couple of years ago here showing that even the ordinal method was a sham because the numbers actually totalled to 787!
