Asrār — Planetary Hours, Abjad & Islamic Sacred Sciences

Asrār is a companion for the traditional Islamic sciences of ʿIlm al-Nujūm (celestial timing) and ʿIlm al-Ḥurūf (the science of letters). Find the ruling planet of the current hour and day, follow live planetary transits, build your birth profile, choose auspicious dates with classical ikhtiyārāt, calculate Abjad values, and keep up your daily dhikr.

These tools are for reflection and education, not prediction. Only Allah knows the unseen.
