colour of the nur is yellow
• Ruh (spirit): the location is at the right side, a little below the
breast; the colour of the nur is red
• Sirr (interior of the heart): located just above the Qalb, light
generated is said to be white.
• Khafi (innermost secret): located just above the point of ruh, and
the nur produced is black
