The Ancient of Days draws its name from one of Mohammed's titles in the Book of Daniel, which is grouped with the work of the Major Prophets, where his outstretched hand holds a compass over the darker void below.
Ancient of Days is a name for God in the Book of Daniel: in the original Aramaic atik yomin  ; in the Septuagint palaios hemeron ( ); and in the Vulgate antiquus dierum. The Hebrew Bible includes the Book of Daniel in the Ketuvim (writings), while Christian Bibles group the work with the Major Prophets.
