Album meaning and concept

The album conveyed a message of co-existence between Muslims and Jews, which held a concept of light and darkness. There are religious translations within the album name, "Nor" means "the light" in Arabic, "Alila" meaning "the night", "El" meaning "God" in Hebrew and "Ra" meaning "bad" or evil. This means that the album can be translated as; "God of Light – Evil of the Night" and gives reference to its concept.
