This is difficult for me XD All I think I'm getting is Sunday at 12AM (lord's day), but that's about it...

>Shrine of arts = museum, a shrine for the arts >Mecca's child = Islam. Islam was started in Mecca and is hence Mecca's child
Location = The Museum of Islamic Arts in Doha, Qatar
>stone of Venus = Emerald. An emerald is commonly associated with the goddess Venus as an emerald represents light and love. >court of 1107 = Court of emperor Aurangzeb of the Mughal Empire who reigned during 1107 A.H. >stars that tread on red = Celebrities that walk on the red carpet >within the body of ilex = Ilex is the scientific name for holly. Body of ilex thus refers to the stem/wood of holly. It represents Hollywood. >Stars that tread on the red carpet in Hollywood are generally very famous and influential. Such people are also known as moguls. >beautiful country = America. Haha, in Chinese, America is written as 美国 with 美 standing for pretty/beautiful and 国 standing for country or kingdom hence beautiful country
Target = The emerald named after the Hollywood moguls and also once belonged to emperor Aurangzeb's court is the Mogul Emerald. This emerald is being held at The Museum of Islamic Arts right now.
>lord's day = Sunday obviously but which Sunday? If you take a look at the calender, in 2016, Christmas falls on a Sunday and lord's day can also be taken to mean the Lord's birthday or Christmas.
Date and Time = 25/12/16 at 00:00
I'm sorry if anything is inaccurate but this is the explanation for my heist riddle.

Ok, I'll start from the top. Basically I showed this riddle to a couple of reminds and one of them (a HUGE detective otaku) ended up forming a code cracking investigation squad. So yeah, these are the result that myself and 4 friends came up with.
From the shrine of arts for Mecca's child, This had to be Muhammed the prophet, it couldn't be anyone else. We couldn't figure out what the shrine of arts was but we suspected the Prophet's Mosque in Medina
I will steal the stone of Venus This one stumped us. We went from Venus statues (Snowy it's an art shrine to Mohammed, do you really think they'd have stone Venus statues in there?) to astrology ("Birth month! WHAT IS THE BIRTH MONTH!? THEY HAD SOMETHING LIKE THIS IN DETECTIVE CONAN ONCE" – Snowy) to Hindu Venus gods ('Poker' and 'Snowy' were convinced it was a diamond because Shukra. I was sure it was Rose Quartz cause stone of love, but couldn't find a piece that fitted the other pieces of the riddle)
once belonging to the court of 1107 I thought it referred to a year, 'Cinder' thought it might be a birthday, Snowy thought I might be like 1412. Then Poker found that verse 1107 was often performed in the courtyard to the Prophet's Mosque. "The court of 1107"! But since the stone once belonged there, and is now in the "shrine of arts"…yeah we were stumped.
named for the stars that tread on red within the body of ilex This was really confusing. I thought that the "ilex" was a constellation and the stars were reddish stars, which would've sorta kinda made sense (cut me some slack). There were ideas flying around about christmas cause holly and the lord's day. Basically what happens was Snowy was frustrated so she went to draw some dresses. To do so she searched up red carpet stuff and celebrities, and BOOM, Epiphany. So yeah, sheer dumb luck. Solving it didn't help us much with the rest though
in the beautiful country The only lead on this one was that Vietnamese/American movie title 'The Beautiful Country'.
exactly when the lord's day starts. The dictionary and I agree that it is Sunday. However, 'Deren' noted that traditionally, it's Saturday. Then Snowy and Poker put in that the Hindu god of Venus was connected with diamonds and lords over Friday. Dude guys, Oxford Dictionary of English. IT'S SUNDAY!

I'm planning a story, and of course, a riddle. Give me a hand see if this is easy to figure out or not?
The Worm perished under dimmed moon A nightspirit stabbed. The last heartbreaking song Coloured the white in blood.
The first line is date and time, the rest is target. And what I really ask is the date and time part.
