Shaykh Ibn al-‘Arabi tells us, that for every day there is a prophet from among the prophets, from whom descends a secret upon the heart of the verifying witness, a secret in which you takes delight during your day and by which you know something of that which requires to be known. This only happens to those who possess a heart.

Venus is the second sphere of the heavens from the Earth and this heaven was brought into existence by the self-disclosure of the divine name al-Musawwir, the Designer. God created this heaven, its planet Venus, the Day of Gathering (Friday) and the letter râ’ in the lunar mansion of the constellation Ghafr, which is the 15 th station out of the 28 stations of the Moon and He made it a place for the prophet Joseph.
