Original sentence: Deriving hidden messages from the equation of letters and numbers is a hallmark of numerology.However, Khalifa's claim that the numbers indentified him as a Divine Messenger would militate against this interpretation.In some countries, the number 786 is considered to be equivalent to the Islamic invocation known as the bismillah, because the numerical values of the letters or Abjad numerals add up to 786.Khalifa seems to have been the first exegist to extensively apply Abjad numerals to the Qur'an.Some of Khalifa's followers say that he did not practice numerology,  but merely pointed to intricate patterns created by the Abjad numerals of the Qur'an.This pattern, they say, is so sophisticated and complex that it proves the divine origin of the Qur'an
