The concept of a "favourite number" for Allah is not found in Islamic teachings. The Quran and Hadith do not attribute any specific number as being favoured by Allah.
Understanding Allah's Attributes
It's important to understand that Allah is beyond human comprehension, and we can only understand Him through the revelations He has given us. Ascribing human characteristics to Allah, such as having a favourite number, is considered shirk (associating partners with Allah), which is forbidden in Islam.
Focus on Divine Qualities
Instead of focusing on specific numbers, Muslims are encouraged to reflect on Allah's divine qualities, such as:
- Al-Rahman (The Most Merciful)
- Al-Rahim (The Most Compassionate)
- Al-Malik (The King)
- Al-Quddus (The Holy)
- As-Salam (The Peace)
These attributes guide our understanding of Allah and His relationship with humanity.
Significance of Numbers in Islam
While Allah does not have a favourite number, certain numbers hold significance in Islam:
- 1: Represents unity and oneness of Allah.
- 3: Represents the Holy Trinity in Christianity, but it is not considered significant in Islam.
- 7: Represents the seven heavens, seven days of creation, and seven deadly sins.
- 99: Represents the 99 beautiful names of Allah.
These numbers are reminders of Allah's power, creation, and guidance, but they do not imply that He has a favourite number.
