5.3. 'The Third Day' of Creation (al-thulatha , Tuesday):
And for the motion of Tuesday Ibn Arabi says that it was created from the divine Attribute 'Seeing' (basar): so there is no part of the world but that it is witnessing its Creator i.e., in relation to its own individual essence, not the Essence of its Creator [II.438.10], because the Essence of Allah, the Creator, may not be seen, He may only be seen through the manifestation of His Attributes (Names) throughout the Creation as we shall discuss in more detail in section V.5. Ibn Arabi then adds that:
The divine Name 'the All-Prevailing' (al-Qahir) was intent on bringing into being the third heaven (the fifth from earth); so He caused its (distinctive spiritual) reality to appear, along with its planet (Mars, al-marrikh) and its sphere, and He made it the dwelling for Aaron.... The existence of this planet and the motion of its sphere were in the lunar mansion Awwa (which is the thirteenth station of the twenty-eight moon stations) on Tuesday.... And from the motion of this sphere appeared the letter 'lam' ( )....
