Az Zuhur  means ‘Rising, blooming or appearing’. Based on the eight pointed Khatam Star (seal of prophets). The empty center and heavily ornamented overall with floral and vegetative forms symbolizes the nature of Al Mighty ‘Be, and it Is’.

Quoting here Al Arabi’s beautiful explanation as he drew the diagram (eight pointed star) “all phenomena are nothing but manifestations of Being, which is one with God.”
