Allah began surah Yusuf story with a dream
Allah revealed to us that Yusuf saw the sun, moon and the 11 stars bowing down to him.
The moon represents the Mother
The Sun represented the father
11 stars represent the Children [Sons of Prophet Ya'qub] (Brothers of Yusuf).
We learn a social lesson for those who ponder;
When we look at the Sun - we feel warmth and protection, and by the Sun - food grows on Earth. We do not fear like we do at night.
When the father is at home - we feel safe. The father Earns for the home.
When the sun is out - the stars are there but they are not seen.
The Moon is serene - beautiful to look at.
The mother in the home is Serene/peaceful, lookafters the sanctity of the home. She illuminates the home and is nice to look at.
The stars twinkle when the mum is at home.
The children spend their time with the mother.
The moon takes its light from the Sun.
The more effective the father in the home - the more effective the mother is in the home.
This dream was interpreted by Allah and Prophet Ya'qoob.
What happens when the moon and sun want to be each other.
A lunar or solar eclipse takes place.
When the father wants to be the mother or the father wants to be the mother - a social eclipse takes place.
Where are the stars during this time? They are not seen.
So when a social eclipse occurs - the children are affected the most.
