The square is often associated and depicted with the 4 noble and sacred truths: Dukkha, Samudāya, Nirodha, and Magga. To summarize, these truths are the truth of suffering, the truth of suffering's origin, the truth of the end of suffering, and the path to the end of suffering.[4] The traditional Buddhist mandala also contains 4 squares, representing the gates to the 4 stages of life. In Islam, the square is a symbol of strength and establishment. Geometry is deeply important to the design and symbolism of Muslim art and architecture. The square, alongside with the circle and triangle, is one of the 3 foundational shapes in Islamic art. It emphasizes the power of the mosque, the foundation of the faith, and the strength of the religion's building blocks. https://www.wikihow.com/Symbolism-of-the-Square https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Significance_of_numbers_in_Judaism https://www.gods-abcs.com/numbers-1-to-40-defined Daleth is a door in Hebrew.
