Astronomical Field
( We have indeed decorated the nearest Heaven with the beautiful planets. *) 37 : 6.
This particular verse is discussing only the Solar system which was not
recognized at : 610 A.D. when the revelation of the Book of The Qur'an was recieved by The Messenger Mohammed.
In Surah Joseph : # 12 , Verse : # 4 :
(So Joseph said to his father : “ O my Father : I have seen( in a dream)
eleven planets and the sun and the moon bowing “down” to me )
first we should know that all stories mentioned in the Qur’an are not for
entertainment , But to clarify Scientific realities :
For example: In Verse Seven in the same Surah we read :
( Verily in Joseph and his brethren are Signs "symbols" for the
seekers of the truth. * ) 12 : 7.
How ?
When we read: ( Then when " The Eleven Brothers " entered the presence
of Joseph he provided a home for his parents with himself, and said :
" Enter all of you Egypt in Safety If God Wish’s. " * ) 12 : 99.
Then we read :
( He raised his Parents High on the throne " of dignity " and They [ HIS
PARENTS WITH HIS ELEVEN BROTHERS ] all fell down bowing to
him and he said " O my father this is The fulfillment of my old vision my
Lord made it come true." * ) 12 : 99 - 100.
What is the truth to be found in these two similar groups ? :
Now if we try to think in the two groups: looking for the symbols:
The Eleven Brothers comparing with = The Eleven Planets as a first
similarity.
His Father and his Mother comparing with = The Sun and the Moon as a
second similarity.
JOSEPH as a symbol of = THE EARTH as a third similarity
JOSEPH and his full brother Benjamin as a symbol of = The Earth +
another close Planet as a fourth similarity.
Then we can say :
The parents + the 11 brothers are bowing to the most important brother :
JOSEPH.
The sun and the moon + 11 planets are bowing to the most important
planet: The EARTH.
Joseph loved his full brother : Benjamin, and was close to him.
THE EARTH Has one similar planet close to it and that is the only planet
which has the possibility to have water and life on it, which is still
unknown.
Let us read : ( He said “I am Joseph
