إِذۡ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَـٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّى رَأَيۡتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوۡكَبً۬ا وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ رَأَيۡتُہُمۡ لِى سَـٰجِدِينَ ٤
Recall that Joseph said to his father, "O my father, I saw eleven planets, and the sun, and the moon; I saw them prostrating before me."
Proofs and revelations
We learn from Joseph's dream that he was destined for a bright future. Thus, while his brothers met to decide his fate, his fate was already decided by Allah. Everything is done by Allah (see verse 8:17), and is already pre-recorded (see verse 57:22).

The Light of Allah – Guidance through it, or Deprivation of Light
One of the believers has sought consultation on an important matter regarding designing a logo for our charitable organization. He has quoted verse 12:4 from the Quran and would like to write the name of the organization around the 11 planets, the sun, and the moon. The answer and advice, which I am going to give, will be based on the verses and words of the Quran and their significance.

Based on these Sacred Revelations from my LORD, my advice to the believer is that he should not use verse 12:4 and write “light upon light” within it as the logo for the organization. Verse 12:4 mentions 11 planets, the sun, and the moon. This constitutes only a tiny fraction of the creation of ALLAH in the Universe, whereas He is the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth, and everything in between. He is truly called: “the LORD OF THE UNIVERSE”.
