Sea of Sand Art by Jim Nelson

Rabiah the Infinite is a collection of one thousand and one originally similar planes, all refracted off of the original Rabiah during the Thousandfold Refraction. The planes have since developed independently of each other. One, known as Dark Rabiah, has been taken over by sinister forces and is as evil a place as even Phyrexia.

Rabiah was the setting for the Arabian Nights expansion, and was based upon the One Thousand and One Nights collection of stories.

Rabiah scale

Mark Rosewater stated that Rabiah will likely never be revisited in a Standard-legal set, due to the fact that it is not Wizard's own intellectual property. Continued prompting on this subject led him to create the Rabiah Scale, as a planar equivalent of the Storm Scale, on which Rabiah holds the highest (least likely) rank by definition.

Trivia

• Outside of its plane card, Rabiah is only referred to by name in the flavor text of Sorceress Queen and Suleiman's Legacy. Although Sorceress Queen was printed in Arabian Nights, only its Fifth Edition reprint has flavor text.
