The Hidden History of The Symbol of Islam
According to Islam, the "Crescent and the Star'', the crescent phase of the moon is known to represent renewal and progress; as this represents the earliest phase of the moon after the New Moon is complete. This phase represents fertility, as the New Moon is the time to plant seeds, while the Full Moon is the time to reap the harvest of pre-existing seeds. For example: during the Full Moon, the trees soak in all the nutrients from the soil and Earth’s minerals will draw throughout the bark of the tree. This also happens energetically for us as humans. During the Full Moon phase, emotions usually run higher than they would on any other set of days throughout any 4 week cycles.
The star symbolizes the illumination of knowledge and the 'advocate of peace'. ALLAH is a Moon God, historically. Allah also has a feminine counterpart ALLAT. But lets get right into the Star.
The 5-pointed Star, Venus
Venus (ALLAT), the morning and evening star, is the brightest planet in our sky. I had first mistaken this star for Sirius in my earlier studies. I was wrong, however I did find a very interesting connection between the brightest planet and our brightest star. In most cultures, Venus is associated with divine femininity, love, desire, passion, sexuality, harmony, and prosperity. Venus also represents “The Queen of Heaven” aka the Virgin Mary (Virgo) which rules the Taurus bull & the Libra scale of balance and justice (Ma’at). I will go more into the bull here shortly. As you might find, many Venusian goddesses have the same description as the Queen of Heaven. Venus represents the pentagram because of its orbit pattern around the Earth. It seemingly has a push and pull relationship with our planet; as if it plays a huge part in how we experience duality on Earth. See the pattern below. This is sacred geometry on display! It’s saying more than we might know how to think. Venus also represents the Eye of Ra. Venus has a 4 year cycle around the earth, but it appears to us as 8 years due to its unique pattern of coming and going.
How is Venus the Morning Star & Evening Star?
The duality of Venus on earth is due to her placement in the skies when it rises in the east (morning star) and when it sets in the west (evening star). Similar to our Sun, right? As I mentioned earlier, the effects of this pattern may also be similar to how the Moon phases affect us as a collective. In ancient times, the rising and the setting of this star had a pattern effect. I’ve also read that Venus represents the unification of opposites, like attraction. I put these images aside to try to give a good idea of the effects that the luminaries have on us. I am quite sure that the evening star position vs. the morning star position both produce a certain algorithm in our reality we may not be aware of. In the span of time it takes to come full circle of her trajectory (four years), her path traces the outline of the five-pointed star. This gives further fuel to the pentagram as a symbol of harmony, love and perfect union. But always remember there is duality to everything here.
Who is ALLAH (Nannar-Sin)?
Allah, God of the Moon, whose symbol is the Crescent Moon and Bull, God of wisdom and cattle; is also an Annunaki/Sumerian from the Nibiru lineage (Planet X). This is where the word “sin” comes from. It’s not truly the word for a moral abomination as we have learned. In Ancient Sumeria, his name was Nannar-Sin/Nanna-Sin/Naram-Sin; son of Enlil and Ninlil. God Nanna-Sin’s symbol was a bull, essentially representing the horizontal crescent of the waxing moon appearing similar to the horns of that animal. I’ll go into animal symbolism in a different article. But Allah was appointed by Enlil to take over rulership of the Sumerian dynasty on Earth. God Nanna and Goddess Nigal had three children. One of them was Shamash, the God of Sun, truth, justice, and healing. The other children were Inanna, also known as Inanna/Ishtar, the Goddess of planet Venus, and Ereshkigal, the Goddess of the underworld.
The triad Sun-Moon-Venus are respected as the Regulators of time in ancient Babylonia. Allah is referred to as the head of the ancient Mesopotamian pantheon. Know that Mesopotamia and Babylonia both stem from the Sumerian pantheon. Several Moon Gods include: Allah, Nannar-Sin, Thoth, Yah(Iah), Khonsu, Artemis, Tecuciztecatl. Both Tecuciztecatl and Nannar-Sin are considered the “Man in the Moon.”
Who is ALLAT (Venus)?
Allat is known as the triple goddess and divine feminine aspect of Allah. Her symbol is the lion and the crescent moon. She is manifested as a pre-Islamic spirit who was once among the primary deities venerated at Mecca. Allat (goddess of fertility/Moon), Al Uzza (goddess of the morning star/Venus/guardian of the sea, fish & dolphins), and Menat (goddess of fate/ time) are the trinity of goddesses mentioned in the Quran. It is understood that the 3 goddesses represent different facets of one deity; Allat. She is respected as the counterpart of Allah and the judge of the afterlife. Interestingly, Lilith is also referred to as the triple goddess of astrology and is also Sumerian/Annunakian. However, Lilith in astrology represents the dark side of the Moon.
Lilith comes from the word “Lilitu”, who’s ancient story seems to mirror back to the Annunaki goddess, NINMAH, who is the sister-wife of Enki + Daughter of Anu & Namma/Ki/Tiamat, and half sister of Enlil(Lord of the Wind). It was Namma/Ki/Tiamat who came up with the idea to create humans from clay with her son, Enki (Lord of the Earth); who created the Igigi with the help of Homo-sapien DNA. There is not a lot of backstory on Namma, but her daughter, Ninmah is equivalent to the Egyptian goddess, Hathor/Isis, and Aphrodite, Kali Ma, and Lilith, who are also equivalent to the Egyptian Goddess, Sekhmet; all of which are Venusian goddesses. And all possess the symbol of the Eye of Ra, which has a connection to Venus and the star Sirius as well. Ninmah/Ninhursag is known as the first goddess of Venus, also known as the Mother of Venus. I hope this partially shows you the Islamic Moon-Venus connection.
Nannar-Sin’s wife was Ningal, goddess of the spring, fertility, abundance, and the Lady of Dreams. I have not found that she has any connection to Venus or Moon as her own deity, but her energetic signature surely ensues she had her own power.
Venus also represents Death and Resurrection in the ancient Mayan tradition
“They believed that the night sky contained messages that could guide one’s life and decisions on Earth. This was much more useful than discovering a heliocentric theory.”
Venus Cycles, Signs in the Sky
“Indeed, the patterns in the night sky seemed to cry out, “Decipher me! This is no coincidence! There is deep meaning in the stuff up here!” For example, Mesoamerican mathematicians realized that 5 x 584 = 8 x 365. This begged the question: “What does this mean!?” So, 8 Venus cycles equaled 5 Earth years. It had to mean something. The night sky was revelatory and this 8 to 5 ratio might not be immediately understood, but it was a piece of the overall puzzle to be kept for the day when it could be placed meaningfully into the greater picture.
The information derived from the night sky and other information used in magical predictions was arithmetical and numerological to the Mesoamericans. There was, for instance, a Sacred Round of 260 days. Nobody, anymore, is sure where they got this from – maybe the period of time for human gestation.
It became a type of mathematical constant, however. 2 x 260 = 520, which equals, for instance, three lunar half years. The Dresden Codex, from which we learn of the importance of the planet Venus in the lives of the power elite in Mesoamerica, was a book of divination with the stations of the Venus cycle as important aspects of when, for example, war would or should occur.”
Death and Resurrection
“To believe that union must emerge from divorce, mercy must emerge from revenge, kindness from callousness, patience from petulance, joy from despair, love from hatred, brotherhood from antagonism is to realize a meaning in the Ancient Star’s journey. To be able to pick Venus out of the sky, and understand that it can be a symbol of death and resurrection, of adversity and hope, is an extraordinarily powerful aesthetic experience.”

Nibiru, Orion’s Belt & Sirius Star System
I caught myself asking, “how is Venus and Sirius associated with each other?” Going far back in ancient history, I have found that just about all Mother Goddesses are Venusian goddesses but the eldest Mother Goddesses are symbolic to both Venus and Sirius. Ironically, Sirius is the brightest star and Venus is the brightest planet. There is an obvious connection between those two planes and Earth. It is said that Annunaki's native planet, Nibiru/Planet X was shifted out of Sirius’s orbit and took on a new orbital motion. The Annunaki are beings of a higher density. So they had to use Orion’s Belt as a portal to travel here from Sirius, their place of origin.
