"Al Aaraaf" is the major poem of Edgar Allan Poe's book "Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems", and was inspired by Tycho Brahe's discovery of a supernova back in 1572 which was visible for about seventeen months.

 Edgar Allan Poe biography
The major poem of the book, "Al Aaraaf", was inspired by Tycho Brahe's discovery of a nova back in 1572 which was visible for about sixteen months.
This nova was merged with Al Aaraaf which is the place between paradise and hell where people who have not been neither markedly good nor markedly bad had to stay until forgiven by God and let in to Paradise, as depicted in the Koran.
Two souls however, fail to respond: the "maiden-angel" Ianthe and her "seraph-lover" Angelo (Michelangelo), who describes his death on earth and the flight of his spirit to Al Aaraaf.

According to Poe himself, Al Aaraaf is a place known to ‘Arabians’ as an interim existence between Heaven and Hell and located in the star of Tycho Brahe.
You characterize Al Aaraaf as “secretive and elaborated, lengthy, almost epic, a product of the mind...” and suggest its origins may be between 1826-1828.
Al Aaraaf's Ligeia is the modern greek siren, very much alive and fully enpowered then to act as an intermediary.

 David Ketterer- The SF Element in the Work of Poe: A Chronological Survey
In this the longest of Poe's poems, the nova observed by and named for Tycho Brahe is identified by name with "Al Aaraaf, among the Arabians, a medium between Heaven and Hell" (15, p99) and converted into a planet that wanders through interstellar space.
Poe presents this planet, now momentarily at rest and illuminated by four suns in the constellation Cassiopeia, as an aesthetic realm (approximating arabesque reality) inhabited by lesser angels and exceptional mortals like Angelo, whose business is to mediate between heaven and the many worlds of God's universe.
It is the "happier star" mentioned in "Sonnet--To Science," which functions as a proem to "Al Aaraaf"; here the world of myth, displaced on earth by science, has taken refuge.

 Nevermore: The Edgar Allan Poe Collection of Susan Jaffe Tane
Poe considered himself a poet first and foremost; he believed, as did most of his contemporaries, that poetry was the highest form of the literary arts.
Originally printed in Tamerlane and Other Poems as “Visit of the Dead,” the poem was printed with significant changes in Al Aaraaf, Tamerlane, and Minor Poems as “Spirits of the Dead.” This manuscript clearly reflects a transitional state and is unique in both organization and content.
The poem reveals two of the thematic preoccupations that would appear again and again in Poe’s writings: a morbid focus on the spirits of those departed, and a permeable line between the living and the dead.

In brief, Poe's God is the force that set matter into motion; from a unity of being we were sent out into a whirling chaos that buffets and beats us, but we are, with the universe, ever collapsing back upon that singularity, a reunion with God, the small promise held out by death.

Sorrow is not excluded from "Al Aaraaf," but it is that sorrow which the living love to cherish for the dead, and which, in some minds, resembles the delirium of opium.
The passionate excitement of Love and the buoyancy of spirit attendant upon intoxication are its less holy pleasures --- the price of which, to those souls who make choice of "Al Aaraaf" as their residence after life, is final death and annihilation.
It was entire in 1687 --- the most elevated spot in Athens.

Hasn’t Allah saved Hood (on him peace) from his nation, Aad, who disbelieved in God and accused their prophet of foolishness and they were about to kill him and his followers.
And when Salih (on him be peace) ordered his nation not to get close to the she-camel, and leave it eat from God’s land and not to slaughter it, they were seized by the blast and Allah saved Salih and his nation.
Those companions feared for their faith and escaped to the cave lest they should be forced to disbelieve in God by their rulers.
