Yusuf's Dream Allah says, إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لاَِبِيهِ يَا أَبتِ إِنِّيرَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِي سَاجِدِينَ(Remember) when Yusuf said to his father:"O my father! Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon - I saw them prostrating themselves to me."Allah says, `Mention to your people, O Muhammad, among the stories that you narrate to them, the story of Yusuf.'Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) mentioned his dream to his father, Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), son of Prophet Ishaq (Isaac), son of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon them all.Abdullah bin Abbas stated that the dreams of Prophets are revelations from Allah.Scholars of Tafsir explained that;in Yusuf's dream the eleven stars represent his brothers, who were eleven, and the sun and the moon represent his father and mother.This explanation was collected from Ibn Abbas, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah, Sufyan Ath-Thawri and Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam.Yusuf's vision became a reality forty years later, or as some say, eighty years, when Yusuf raised his parents to the throne while his brothers were before him,وَخَرُّواْ لَهُ سُجَّدًا وَقَالَ يَا أَبَتِ هَـذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُوْيَايَ مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّي حَقًّاand they fell down before him prostrate. And he said:"O my father! This is the interpretation of my dream aforetime! My Lord has made it come true!" (12:100
