Question:

Why is it said that the numerals 786 represent the phrase, بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ?


Answer:

As Salaamu Alaikum,

Each of the Arabic letters has a value attached to it, and when all the letters of the Bismillah are added, the value comes up to 786.

And Allah knows best,
