786 (seven hundred [and] eighty-six) is the natural number following 785 and preceding 787.
It is wrongly believed by some Muslims, mainly from the Asian subcontinent in India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, to carry a religious significance to represent the Arabic phrase Bismillah, but such innovated use has no basis in the Quran or Books of Hadith. The Prophet Mohammed never used this number 786 in any letters he had sent on his behalf around the world, nor did any of the Muslim Caliphs. Muslims who cite the number in their email addresses, passwords, car number plates and frames in their household or businesses thinking it has some religious benefit have a clear misunderstanding about the fact that the use of the number 786 has no authenticity in Islam.

In culture
Indian Muslims misguidedly associate the number with the basmala by summing up of all the numerical values of each Arabic letter making up the phrase.[1] This widespread cultural innovation, which has no authentic religious basis in either the Quran or the Books of Hadith, has led it to often feature in films from the country.
