Recently I had posted an answer on Islam Beta on the question What does 786 mean?
It indeed is a good question with many detailed and substantial answers. Seeing the above answers with lots of references and explanation I just posted an answer that I suppose gave another logical thought to it.
My answer to the question was:
"This is something that is not acceptable in Islam, these are little steps towards Bida'h.
Since our brothers have already done and said above about the references of the number and its existence. I would want to give a logical thinking to it as well.
Numbering Quranic verses has no significance
If we were to give each arabic letter a value then GOD
and DOG
are both same? Nauzobillah, so brother it is better not to fall more into the pit falls and practice authentic ways of sunnah. Jazakallah khair."
Now I would want people here to decide what was wrong in it and is it too little in content or off topic or bad enough to be deleted. I think it was a very rude decision from the moderators(goldPseudo) part to straight off delete it.
Just to add a bit more the answer also received few vote ups as well. Jazakallah.
