The Sun And The Moon Symbolic In Islam


In Arabic, "shams" (sun) is feminine, and "qamar" (moon) is masculine.

The sun, just like women in Islam, commands the gaze to be lowered when stared at directly, and the moon in the same way reflects the light to us on earth.

The sun burns itself out to give light and life to everything around, whilst the moon reflects the light, and its true beauty is only realised when it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our women. May Allah (swt) be pleased with them.
