Joseph was the son of Jacob from his second wife, Raheel, the daughter of Laban. At the time of his birth, Jacob was 73 years of age. Joseph had eleven brothers. Only Benjamin was his real brother; the other ten were his half-brothers. Joseph was the most handsome, pretty, and wise of all his brothers. His father loved him the most of all his sons.
Once, Joseph saw in a dream that eleven stars, the moon, and the sun were prostrating before him. When he related this dream to his father Jacob, he, interpreting the dream, told him that God had chosen him for His work and that He would bestow knowledge and wisdom upon him. He also advised him not to tell his brothers about this dream or its interpretation; otherwise, they would become hostile towards him. The Holy Quran has called the story of Joseph the best of all stories.
Moon and the Eleven Stars
Joseph told his father, “Father, I have witnessed a vision that eleven stars, the moon, and the sun are prostrating before me.”
Jacob, upon hearing this, said, “My son, God will honor you. Just as you saw stars, moon, and sun bowing before you in your dream.”
One day, Joseph’s half-brothers, who were jealous of him because of their father’s love, conspired to take Joseph away from his father. They told their father that they wanted to take Joseph with them to the jungle for game. Jacob, upon their persistent request, half-heartedly allowed them to take him.
In the jungle, they threw him into a well and returned home with a false expression of grief on their faces. They stated to their father that a wolf had killed Joseph and, as proof, they showed him Joseph’s clothes drenched in goat blood.
Jacob understood their plan but, considering it the holy will of God, he did not utter anything. However, being a humble human, the grief caused him to weep… so much so that he lost his eyesight.
The well in which Joseph was thrown existed near Secom in the valley of Jabron, present-day Alkhalil. A caravan of Ismaili traders happened to pass through that valley. When they saw the well, they stopped there to fetch water. When the bucket of water was lowered into the well, Joseph was recovered. They brought him to Egypt and sold him in the market.
The Amalekites, an Arab tribe who had migrated around 2000 BC from Syria and Palestine, were ruling Egypt. Apophis Pharaoh was the king of Egypt at that time. Potiphar, a general of the Egyptian army, bought him for twenty Dirhams. In the Holy Quran, the name of Joseph’s buyer is given as Aziz, which literally means a person irresistible. It is not a name but a post held by that person. According to the scriptures, he was a captain of the royal guards.
He said to his wife, “Make his stay comfortable; maybe he will bring us much good or we shall adopt him as a son.”
(S: 12, V: 2)
Egyptian Civilization
Joseph had been reared in Canaan, which was far behind Egypt in social and civil development. Potiphar was so impressed by Joseph’s personality and wisdom that he assigned him the duty of managing the affairs concerning his lands and wealth.
“And, thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories and events.”
(S: 12, V: 21)
Joseph was young, smart, and handsome. There wasn’t any aspect of magnificence or beauty lacking in him. Zulaikha, the wife of Aziz, couldn’t control herself—she fell ardently in love with Joseph and tried to seduce him.
“He said, God forbid! Truly my lord—thy husband—has made my sojourn agreeable. Truly, to no good come those who do wrong.”
(S: 12, V: 23)
Perplexity
Joseph, a man of great integrity, did not encourage Zulaikha. Rather, he tried to get away from her in her state of amorous desire. She tried to stop him from leaving the room. In that scuffle, his shirt got torn. When he opened the door, one of Zulaikha’s cousins was standing there. In embarrassment, Zulaikha could think of nothing but to allege that Joseph was trying to take advantage of her and molest her. That cousin, being a wise man, suggested that if Joseph’s shirt was torn from the front, then her statement was true; but if his shirt was torn from the back, then she was lying, and Joseph was telling the truth.
When they inspected, they found the shirt torn from the back. Her husband told Joseph to overlook the matter and asked his wife to seek forgiveness for her sin.
The ladies of the city gossiped about how the wife of Aziz had failed to seduce her slave. When she heard their malicious talk, she invited them to a banquet. When they arrived, she placed fruits before them, and while they were peeling the fruits with knives, she signaled Joseph to enter. When the ladies saw such a handsome person of matchless charisma, they were flabbergasted. In their perplexity and confusion, they all cut their fingers.
She said,
“There is the man before you about whom you blamed me! I did try to seduce him, but he saved himself. And now, if he would not submit to my bidding, he shall certainly be cast into prison and will be humiliated.”
(S: 12, V: 32)
Hearing this threat, Joseph prayed to God Almighty:
“O my Lord! The prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. Unless Thou turn away their snare from me, I should fall prey to their snare and would be amongst the ignorant.”
(S: 12, V: 33)
After this, other ladies of the city also started yearning for Joseph. It was a tough time and a test for Joseph’s purity and innocence. Finally, he was thrown into prison on false charges. At that time, he was 20 or 21 years of age.
His conduct and dealings with fellow inmates earned him respect. He spent about seven years in prison. He used to preach monotheism to the other prisoners and advised them to do good and refrain from evil.
“O my companions of the prison! Are many gods differing among themselves better, or the One God, Supreme and Irresistible? Of Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye and your fathers have invented, for which God has sent down no authority. The command is for none but God. He has commanded that ye worship none but Him alone. That is the right religion, but most men understand not.”
(S: 12, V: 39–40)
Dreams of Two Prisoners
Two prisoners—one the cook and the other the butler of the king—had been imprisoned on charges of attempting to poison the king. They both saw dreams and narrated them to Joseph.
One said, “I saw in the dream that I am pressing the wines.”
The other said, “I saw in my dream that I am carrying a basket full of bread on my head, and birds are eating from it.”
Joseph, interpreting the events seen in their dreams, told them that the butler would be set free and reinstated in his position, whereas the cook would be crucified and vultures would eat away his flesh.
Later on, it happened exactly as Joseph had said in interpreting their dreams.
Dream of the King
The story continues with the fourth dream, this time of the king of Egypt. He told his courtiers that he had witnessed a dream in which he saw seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean cows. He also saw seven green ears of wheat and seven dry ones.
The dream experts in the royal court dismissed it as a confused medley of thoughts and advised not to bother with it. But their response did not satisfy the king, and he couldn’t shake off the feeling that the dream carried deep meaning.
One day, seeing the king’s restlessness, the butler—now reinstated—remembered Joseph and suggested consulting him. The king sent the butler to the prison to seek Joseph’s interpretation.
Joseph said, “For seven years, you will have abundant harvests continuously. After that, there will be seven years of drought, during which no food will be available from outside. In those times, only the grain stored during the seven years of abundance will be available.”
This interpretation deeply impressed the king. He ordered Joseph’s release and asked for him to be brought to the palace. However, Joseph refused the offer of freedom unless the charges against him were reinvestigated and his innocence proven. This further increased the king’s admiration for Joseph, sensing his integrity and wisdom. The king ordered an inquiry into the matters related to Joseph’s imprisonment. The investigation proved that all the charges leveled against him were false and concocted.
Planning to Face the Famine
Having heard the interpretation of his dream, the king wanted a strategy to deal with the upcoming crisis. Though the dream was unique, no one had a convincing plan. Once again, Joseph was consulted. He explained the necessary steps to face the difficult times ahead.
The king admired Joseph’s suggestions and appointed him in charge of managing the crisis. Joseph was summoned to the court and informed of the king’s decision, which was supported by the supreme council of the country. Joseph accepted the assignment, but on one condition: he must have full authority to implement his plans.
“Joseph said, ‘Set me over the treasures of the land. I am indeed able to guard them and have knowledge.’”
(S: 12, V: 55)
The king placed him at the helm of state affairs and made him ruler over Egypt. According to the Old Testament, Pharaoh said to Joseph:
“See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. I am Pharaoh, and without thee shall no man lift up his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
(Genesis, Ch. 41)
Joseph took over as the ruler and began preparing to protect the people during the years of drought.
First, he expanded the area under cultivation to maximize yield. He purchased the extra crops from farmers at government expense and stored them for the coming dry years. Next, he designed pyramid-shaped storehouses to preserve grain for long periods. These pyramids, built thousands of years ago, remain a perplexing enigma to modern science. Constructed through Joseph’s prophetic knowledge, these buildings have stood for millennia.
For seven years, Egypt enjoyed abundant rainfall and record harvests. Then the water sources began to dry up, and a severe drought set in. Rivers and ponds dried up. While the surrounding lands faced famine, Egypt had plenty of grain thanks to Joseph’s planning. People from nearby regions—including Canaan—came to Egypt to buy grain.
Jacob also sent his sons to Egypt for ration supplies.
Reunion with Family and Revelation of Identity
Joseph used to oversee the storehouses and supervise the distribution of provisions to the needy. One day, he noticed a group of Canaanites—similar in appearance and wearing similar clothes—standing in a queue in front of a storehouse. He inquired who they were. They replied that they were all brothers and had come from Canaan.
Joseph asked them, “Do you have any more brothers?”
They replied that they had a brother who could not come because their father had lost his sight after losing a beloved son, who, according to them, was taken away by a wolf. Their father loved that son so much that he wept until he lost his eyesight.
Joseph was grieved to hear that his father had gone blind and worried about the well-being of his younger brother. He said to his half-brothers, “Since you have come from Canaan, you might not be aware of the law of this land. We give rations only to those who come personally. For this one time, you are given the ration for your father and brother, but next time, when you return, bring your father and brother with you; otherwise, you will not receive any supplies in their names.”
They said, “Our father is blind and cannot undertake this journey. Please excuse him from coming all the way to Egypt. As for the younger brother, he remains with our father to look after him and will also not be able to come.”
Joseph accepted the excuse regarding their father but refused to accept it for their brother. He said, “If you do not bring him, not only will you not have any ration for him, but you will also be denied supplies for yourselves.”
When they returned to Canaan with the provisions, they told their father what the ruler of Egypt had said about bringing their brother.
Jacob said, “Should I trust you as I trusted you in the case of Joseph?”
After Joseph’s disappearance, Benjamin had become the apple of his father’s eye and took care of him wholeheartedly. Jacob’s sons felt ashamed when their father mentioned Joseph. The eldest son pleaded, “We are sorry that you do not trust us, but in this case, we have no other option. If he does not go with us, no one will have anything to eat.”
They promised their father that they would bring Benjamin back safely.
Before the caravan set off again, Jacob advised them not to enter the city as a group but rather to go through different gates in pairs or alone. He gave this advice because, during their first visit, they had been suspected of spying and were only released after they proved their innocence.
Joseph knew the supplies he had given to his brothers would not last long. He longed to see his real brother and waited anxiously for their return. Finally, they came. Joseph hosted them in the royal guesthouse and met his real brother privately. He asked him about their father, disclosed his identity, and shared all he had been through. He instructed Benjamin not to reveal this to the half-brothers.
This time, Joseph gave them even more supplies than before. To keep his brother with him, he arranged to have the royal measuring cup placed in Benjamin’s luggage.
Search for the Measuring Cup
When the caravan departed, the royal silver cup was reported missing. The officials expressed suspicion toward the Canaanite brothers, who had been the last to use the cup. Joseph’s brothers protested, but to no avail. It was agreed that the caravan would be searched. If the cup was not found, they would be compensated with more supplies; but if it was found, the guilty would be punished according to the law.
According to the law, a person found guilty of theft was handed over to the one whose goods had been stolen. The royal captain searched their belongings, and the silver cup was found in Benjamin’s luggage. The brothers were stunned.
When the guards arrested Benjamin, the brothers remembered their promise to their father. They begged the guards to release Benjamin and take any of them instead. The matter was brought before Joseph. He said, “What an injustice it would be to release the guilty and punish the innocent!”
When the caravan returned without Benjamin, the eldest brother could not face their father and stayed outside the city. Jacob’s sons explained the situation to him. The grieving father said, “I know it is not so, but I have no choice but to be patient. Indeed, God is with those who persevere.”
Secret Discloses
When the supplies from Egypt were exhausted, Jacob wanted to send his sons again. They were reluctant. Jacob encouraged them and advised them to go to the ruler of Egypt and plead mercy for Benjamin.
Their father’s encouragement gave them strength to undertake the journey again. When they reached Egypt, they stood before Joseph and pleaded, “We are suffering from drought and famine. We are left with nothing to purchase. We cannot even pay fully for the ration. If you don’t help us, we may starve.”
Hearing this, Joseph was deeply moved and said, “No! No, I cannot see you and my father in such distress.”
They were surprised that the ruler of Egypt referred to Jacob as his father.
Seeing their astonishment, Joseph asked, “What did you do with Benjamin’s brother, Joseph?”
They were puzzled. Why would the ruler of Egypt ask about Benjamin and Joseph?
Then Joseph told them, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you threw into the well out of jealousy.”
Surprise and shame overtook them. They stood silent with their heads lowered. But Joseph spoke lovingly:
“I am your brother. We are all sons of the same father. I still love you and hold no complaint against you. I pray to God that He may forgive your sins, for He is Most Merciful and Kind.”
Jacob’s Migration and the Pyramids
When Pharaoh came to know that Joseph’s brothers had come to Egypt, he invited Jacob and his entire family to migrate. He sent gifts, animals to carry their belongings, and a contingent of soldiers as a protocol escort to Canaan.
Joseph’s Garment
Before the caravan departed for Canaan, Joseph gave his garment to his brothers and instructed them to place it over the eyes of their holy father.
The caravan had barely reached the city when Jacob said to his family that he could smell the scent of his lost son Joseph. They thought he had gone out of his wits—how could someone smell a person taken by a wolf years ago? Jacob said, “I know what ye do not.”
When the caravan, escorted by royal guards, entered the city, Jacob was sitting against the wall of his house. His sons approached him. He said, “You all came—I can smell Joseph.”
“Joseph hasn’t come. He has sent this for you, Father,” they said, handing him Joseph’s garment. He kissed the garment and placed it over his eyes, saying, “Didn’t I tell you he is alive?” He rubbed the garment against his eyes, and his sight gradually returned.
His sons related the entire story and told him that Pharaoh had invited the whole family to migrate to Egypt.
Jacob went to Egypt with all his family members, who are said to have numbered seventy. Joseph was 17 when he was separated from his father, and Jacob was 90. When Jacob migrated to Egypt, he was 130—meaning that Joseph reunited with his father after forty years. Potiphar had died by then.
The Quran has declared the story of Joseph as the best of all stories.
Point to Note
A dream is such an agency that reveals the unseen to a person. The knowledge of dreams enables a person to access metaphysical information. The soul remains kinetic without a break. Just as the entire period of wakefulness is spent in one or another form of movement and activity, the dream life is also full of movements. One remains conscious of physical movements during wakefulness only because of the activity of the conscious mind. When we are awake, our senses remain busy maintaining contact with the surrounding atmosphere. Some stimulus continuously affects our nerves, causing the body to move.
When we sleep, physical movement comes to a halt, but the activities of the self do not stop. While witnessing dreams, the physical body remains inactive, yet a person observes movements just as he does in waking life. The only difference between the two is the elimination of spatio-temporal limits.
During dreaming, our material senses are suspended, and the mind comprehends only that which is of interest to it. This is why we can only relate those parts of the dream that attracted our attention. The conscious mind fails to recall those events that didn’t capture our attention.
Sometimes, the conscious mind witnesses the incidents experienced by the soul in a cohesive manner, and the soul’s movements transpire upon the conscious in such a way that assigning meaning to those events becomes easy. These dreams are called true dreams. When this ability is developed further, it becomes divination and inspiration.
Conscious Negation of Time and Space
One of the faculties of the self that remains active in both dreaming and wakefulness is memory. At every step of life, we use this power, but rarely do we consider how, when we try to recall an event from our childhood, the mind reaches it instantly—even though thousands of events and years have passed since then. When the mind travels into the past, it covers many years in a fraction of a second. We not only remember but can also see the events like a film on the screen of our mind.
Sometimes, these feelings become so strong that the conscious mind perceives them. When a person is deeply focused on something and the conscious activity is fixed on one point, the experience becomes a practical observation.
Man is not just flesh and bones. Besides the physical body, there is another body made of light, called the soul. The soul is the actual root cause of the physical body. The soul can move around without the body, but the physical body cannot move without the soul. If a person becomes acquainted with their soul, they can travel even without the physical body.
Nocturnal senses take precedence over diurnal ones when the conscious senses are inactive. In that state, all abilities and potentials become accessible at will—those same abilities that activate during dreaming. Past and future lose relevance. One can move freely, unbound by the limitations of the physical body. When spiritual potentials are developed to such an extent, the senses of dreaming and wakefulness become parallel, and the conscious remains aware of dream activities just as it is during waking life.
Knowledge of Dream Interpretation
God had bestowed the knowledge of dream interpretation upon Joseph, which means he was fully versed in the senses of the unconscious. The knowledge of unconscious senses helps a person liberate himself from the limits of time and space. The world of the unseen is revealed to one who understands the language of dreams.
By presenting the story of Joseph, the Quran draws attention to the fact that dreams are not merely a medley of thoughts. Half of our life is spent in dreaming and the other half in wakefulness.
It is an established fact that we understand and remember only those things that attract our attention during wakefulness. Keeping this law in mind, if we manage to focus our attention on the events witnessed during dreaming, we would not only remember them but also understand their meanings. Wakefulness is our conscious life, and dreaming is our unconscious life.
“One day Pharaoh said, ‘I dreamt that seven lean kine are eating seven fat-fleshed kine, and I saw seven green ears of wheat and seven dry and withered ears of wheat. Can someone interpret this dream for me?’”
The people in his court responded:
“This appears to be a confused medley of thoughts, and we do not know the meanings of such dreams.”
One of the two prisoners who had been exonerated and released from prison suddenly remembered his own dream and its interpretation by Joseph. He said:
“I can interpret this dream if I am allowed to visit the prison and see Joseph.”
He approached Joseph and said:
“O truthful one! Expound this dream of seven fat kine whom seven lean ones devour, and of seven green ears of wheat and seven others withered, that I may return to the people and they may understand.”
Joseph said:
“You will sow diligently for seven years and leave the harvest in the ears that you reap, except a little that you eat. This period will be followed by seven dreadful years, which will consume all that you spared in advance, except that which you have specially guarded. Then will come a year in which people will have abundant water, and in it they will press wine and oil.”
(S: 12, V: 43–49)
It happened exactly as Joseph had interpreted. Egypt had good crops for seven years and successfully survived the drought years using the saved grain.
Pyramids
To preserve the grain, Joseph had storehouses constructed—structures now known as pyramids. These towering, conical buildings, relics of ancient civilizations, are found not only in Egypt but also in historical sites of Mexico, America, Peru, Guatemala, and the Himalayas.
In the Nile Valley, at the ancient site of Giza, stands the greatest of all pyramids—the Great Pyramid of Cheops. This is the only Wonder of the World that still exists in such complete condition, while the other six survive only in relics or illustrations in books.
The pyramid’s endurance against storms, earthquakes, and erosion is attributed to its precise geometrical shape. Its steep surfaces are unaffected by the gravitational pull of the earth.
Scientists, using advanced computer technology, have declared the Pyramid of Cheops a marvel of ancient scientific genius, dated thousands of years BC. The engineers who built it understood supernatural secrets. They had deep knowledge of mathematics, including trigonometry and geometry, and were highly skilled in geography.
The Pyramid of Cheops is a forty-story building, 485 feet tall, with 201 parallel stone steps. Its square base covers 13.25 acres. Each side of the square base is nearly equal, and the foundation is a perfect square. All four walls are equilateral triangles that meet at the apex—directly above the center of the base.
An intriguing feature is the chain of sockets in the foundation that holds the massive stones together, allowing accurate measurement of the building’s circumference. Its most striking distinction is its flawless orientation: it is aligned with the north-south and east-west axes so precisely that even a 5 cm deviation cannot be found.
An estimated 90 million cubic meters of stone were used in constructing the pyramid. The total number of stones is around 2.3 million, each weighing 2–3 metric tons, with some as heavy as 90 to 600 metric tons. The total estimated weight of the pyramid is 6.5 million tons.
Today, even with modern cranes and lifting equipment, the maximum capacity is about 20 tons at a height of 265 feet. In contrast, stones weighing over 600 tons were placed at heights over 450 feet during ancient times.
Researching Team
When Napoleon came to Egypt, he estimated that the stones used in the pyramid could build a 10-foot-high, 1-foot-thick wall around all of France. He also noted that if the stones were cut into 1-square-foot slabs, they could pave a path around the entire globe.
The heavy stones used in constructing this monument represent a technology that was far ahead of its time. The exterior of the pyramid was originally paved with polished limestone tiles and slabs. These covering stones were joined with such precision that the joints were nearly invisible, with a smoothness accurate to within 0.0008%.
The first time these limestone tiles were disturbed was in 820 AD, when Caliph Abdur Rahman Mamoon’s team made a 100-foot opening on the northern slope to find an internal passage.
Later, in 1350 AD, another Arab descendant of Mamoon used the slabs for constructing the Hassan Mosque in Cairo. Vindal, a German excavator, later destroyed what was left on the outer surface in the name of excavation. Researchers have written volumes on the laws of geometry and mathematics embodied in the pyramid’s construction. They reference measurements relating to the Earth’s circumference, day and night cycles, calendar months and years, the speed of light, gravitational force, and acceleration.
In 1864 AD, Piazzi Smyth, a Scottish researcher, discovered that for every unit of the pyramid’s width, its height equals 10 units. When he multiplied the product of the pyramid’s height and width by 109, he arrived at 91,840,000—the distance (in miles) between the Earth and the Sun.
Experts also discovered a 5” x 5” stone shaped like a horseshoe. They believed it represented the ancient unit of cubit and named it “The Boss.” Its thickness was declared equal to one pyramidal inch. Smyth coined the term “pyramidal inch,” which he claimed perfectly corresponded to the Earth’s polar axis. The pyramidal inch is based on the Earth’s axis of rotation between its poles.
Many scientists admit flaws in the metric system because it is based on the Meridian Line passing through Paris. They acknowledge that a straight line is more reliable than an arc of a circumference.
Smyth found that each side of the pyramid’s base is 9,131.05605 pyramidal inches. When he divided this by 25—the cubit unit—he got 365.242242, the exact length of a solar year: 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 49.7 seconds. He also observed that the pyramid’s height in pyramidal inches corresponds to the Earth’s polar axis length in miles.
These are just a few of the numerous calculations recorded by experts after examining every inch of the Great Pyramid of Cheops.
Typical Angles and Structure
The relationship between cosmic realities and the pyramid’s measurements is striking. Architects agree that no structure matches the pyramid’s strength and durability. The mysteries behind pyramids lie in their angles and geometrical proportions.
Various experiments have confirmed the effects of pyramids. It has been proven that pyramids help in dehydration and preservation. Rather than rotting, organic materials shrink and become solid. Their flavor improves. Dry grains like wheat, maize, rice, oats, and barley are protected from pests. Seeds charged with pyramidal energy yield healthier plants and better crops. Twigs placed in water inside a pyramid sprout more quickly.
Fresh milk kept in a pyramid for three to four weeks turns into high-quality cheese. Tobacco loses its bitterness if stored in a pyramid for two weeks. Water kept in a pyramid for two weeks promotes rapid plant growth. Washing the face with this water softens the skin, reduces wrinkles, and enhances facial charm. Washing hair with it reduces hair fall and supports hair growth. Medicines stored in pyramids become more potent and effective. Wounds and injuries treated under pyramid influence heal quickly.
Spiritual and Psychological Experimentation
Remarkable results have also been observed in psychological and spiritual experiments conducted within pyramids. For instance, sitting inside a pyramid for two hours a day helps overcome daily fatigue and revitalizes the body. It relieves anger and anxiety while enhancing productivity. Sleeping inside a pyramid results in faster, more refreshing sleep. Dreams become vivid and easier to remember.
Concentration exercises practiced inside pyramids yield deeper focus and stronger attention. Prayers and intentions become more effective and are fulfilled more quickly. In essence, pyramids help materialize thoughts.
Scientists studying the forces at work within pyramids say that organic matter remains preserved through dehydration and a complex mummification process. A powerful and unknown energy remains active within the pyramid. Its conical structure draws and stores cosmic energies.
According to one spiritual master, every material thing emits electromagnetic waves, whether it is living or non-living. These waves concentrate at a specific point under the apex of a pyramid—precisely one-third of its height.
The space around planets is filled with countless types of waves. We are aware of only a few; most remain unknown. Their frequencies and wavelengths vary significantly. The inventors of the pyramids understood the behavior of these waves. By building at specific angles, they harnessed cosmic laws. This technology, developed thousands of years ago, remains largely unknown to modern scientists who claim to have reached the moon.
Qalander Baba Auliya’s Perspective on Pyramid Technology
The great sage and spiritual scholar of this age, His Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya, defining the technology used in pyramids, has stated:
“Wavelength of a wave is that part of the electromagnetic wave which our intellect can comprehend, and the part which remains incomprehensible is different and changes.
In discussing wavelengths, it is worth mentioning that the pyramids built in Egypt by Pharaohs are made in the form of one, two, three, four, ten, twenty rooms in such a way that the geometrical shape of waves in all the rooms remains the same.
Even if today such a building is constructed where the frequency of the wavelength remains the same, any corpse placed in that building would not perish for thousands or millions of years. It neither decays nor decomposes but remains in the same condition as it was placed.”
No one knows when, why, or by whom the pyramids of Egypt were built.
Every spiritual person knows that every human being lives with two bodies: one is confined to the physical elements, and the other is composed of light. When someone becomes acquainted with spiritual values, realities are unveiled that not only sustain material elements but also create them.
The Prophets of God were gifted with a faculty that enabled them to invent things using metaphysical equations that cannot be developed by physical sciences alone.
Joseph was an expert dream interpreter. Nature had gifted him the knowledge of dream interpretation as a miracle. Dreams reveal the metaphysical activities of those who witness them and bring forth hidden aspects of the unseen world.
When Joseph was given the responsibility of saving the people of Egypt during the seven years of drought and famine, he used his metaphysical knowledge to construct geometrically aligned storehouses. These are the pyramids.
Storehouses for Grains
When Joseph was appointed to the exalted position of ruler over Egypt and was granted full authority, he began meticulously planning and supervising the grain yields. He ensured maximum harvests during the seven years of abundance and constructed specially designed storehouses to preserve the crops for the upcoming years of scarcity.
When the drought followed, people were provided rations from these storehouses. These structures are now known as pyramids.
The Movement of the Earth and Pyramid Geometry
The invisible belt upon which the Earth moves consists of two types of movement: rotational and linear. The Earth rotates ceaselessly from west to east, and it also moves linearly. However, its rotational movement is from north to south.
The pyramids are constructed on three angles that align with the Earth’s rotational movement. Earth’s rotation is circular—like the funnel of a watch—up and down, and again up. This cyclical motion is unending. The waves of rotational movement are cooler than those of linear movement, and they do not disturb the light-network surrounding material things. The rotational movement dominates the linear one.
The Role of Light and Energy
Everything in existence has two layers. One governs the creation of material things through elemental composition, which inherently carries a fermenting property. This fermenting nature gives shine or life to things. Nothing exists without this ability. Even mountains, which appear dry, excrete resin-like substances.
The waves that form elements are covered by light, which controls the specific quantities allocated to those elements. Rotational movement governs this light-based covering. When a pyramid is constructed using specific geometric angles, waves from north to south interact within the structure, preventing foreign substances from affecting the objects placed inside.
In such an environment, even used razors can be sharpened, and nothing decays. The pyramid’s unique angles allow rotational waves to form a magnetic field inside the building. This magnetic preservation requires a triangular structure. Without the triangle—if only a circular form remains—the structure of objects begins to dissolve, and they fade from material existence.
Gravity, Levitation, and Prophetic Science
In the era of Joseph, science was more advanced than it is today. The weight of the stones used in pyramid construction ranged from 90 to 600 metric tons. Lifting such heavy stones to the height of multi-story structures implies that the scientists of that time knew the formula for neutralizing the gravitational pull of Earth to a degree that allowed massive stones to be lifted like pillows filled with cotton.
Formula
If the expansive and adhesive properties of material elements (the triangle) are reduced to a single point, energy becomes zero, and the unconscious mind completely dominates the conscious. In the realm of the unconscious, dimensions still exist. The form and features of objects exist as waves. When a person, using his spiritual potential, becomes aware of this law, he can—by God’s leave—change the structure of any object. He may turn a particle into a mountain or cancel the weight of a mountain, rendering it as light as a pillow.
This knowledge is called “Administering Knowledge,” and the Holy Quran refers to it as the Formula of Subjugating the Cosmos:
“Do ye not see that God has subjugated for you all things in the heavens and on earth, and has made His bounties flow to you in exceeding measures both seen and unseen?”
(S: 31, V: 20)
“And He has made subject to you the Night and the Day. His command subjugates the sun and the moon and the stars. Verily in this are signs for those who use their mind.”
(S: 16, V: 12)
“Do ye not see that God has subjugated for you all that is on the Earth and the ships that sail through the sea by His command?”
(S: 22, V: 65)
“It is God Who has created the heavens and the Earth and sends down rain from the skies, and with it brings out fruits to feed you. It is He Who has made the ships subject to you that you may sail through the sea by His command. The rivers also has He made subject to you. And He has made subject to you the sun and the moon, both diligently pursuing their courses. And the Night and the Day has He also made subject to you. And He gives you all that ye ask for, but if you count the favors of God, never will ye be able to number them. Verily, man is given up to injustice and ingratitude.”
(S: 14, V: 32–34)
Joseph’s Dream and Celestial Submission
In Joseph’s dream, he saw the sun, moon, and eleven stars prostrating before him. This vision indicates a deeper metaphysical reality: the attraction and submission of celestial bodies to a higher spiritual authority.
“And when Joseph said to his father, ‘Father, I saw eleven stars and the sun and the moon. I saw them prostrating to me.’”
Jacob said, “My son, relate not thy vision to thy brothers, lest they concoct a plot against thee, for Satan is an avowed enemy to man. Thus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee the interpretation of stories and events and perfect His favor to thee and to the posterity of Jacob, even as He perfected it to thy fathers Abraham and Isaac before thee. For God is full of knowledge and wisdom.”
(S: 12, V: 4–6)
Astrology
The prostration of the sun, moon, and eleven stars in Joseph’s dream is a symbolic revelation that God granted him the science of astrology—understanding the gravitational pull and the measures of divine quantities.
The heavens, Earth, skies, angels, space, stars, and planets all operate under divine laws. Every planet moves within its own specific orbit and maintains a fixed distance from other celestial bodies. No planet collides with another.
“And the sun is following its course for a period determined for it. That is the decree of Him, the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing.”
(S: 36, V: 38)
“They ask thee about the new moons. Tell them: these are but signs to mark fixed periods of time for men and for pilgrimage.”
(S: 2, V: 189)
“The number of months in the sight of God is twelve…so ordained by Him since the day He created the heavens and the Earth. Of them, four are sacred.”
(S: 9, V: 36)
“It is He Who made the sun to be a shining glory and the moon to be a light, and appointed stages for her so that you might know the number of years and the count of time.”
(S: 10, V: 5)
“And they find their way by the stars.”
(S: 16, V: 16)
“It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. All these swim along, each in its orbit.”
(S: 21, V: 33)
“Have you not considered how your Lord prolongs the shadow? If He willed, He could make it stationary. Then We make the sun its guide.”
(S: 25, V: 45)
“And the sun runs its course for a period determined for it. That is the decree of the Exalted in Might, the All-Knowing. And the moon—We have appointed measures for her mansions until she returns like the old withered lower part of a date stalk. It is not permitted to the sun to overtake the moon, nor can the night outstrip the day. Each swims along in its own orbit.”
(S: 36, V: 38–40)
Geometry and Celestial Order
God has appointed specific quantities and proportions for every star and planet. The knowledge of these quantities is geometry. Geometry is the science of divine formulae that govern all systems of the galaxies and the Earths within them. The flow of waves from north to south and their harmonious actions—without interference—are also included in this science.
God taught Joseph the interpretation of dreams and the laws of gravity. He was granted mastery over the gravitational fields and the wave structures that hold the Earth’s orbiting belt in balance. Using this knowledge and its geometry, Joseph constructed the pyramids. When this science was transmitted to others, they too built pyramids in various parts of the world.
The Quran states that the sun, moon, and eleven stars prostrated before Joseph—symbolizing their submission and acknowledgment of his divinely gifted authority. This form of authority can only be exercised through spiritual knowledge.
Similarly, God said of Adam:
“And We taught Adam the names—all of them—and then presented them to the angels. God said: ‘Inform Me of the names of these, if ye are truthful.’”
The angels replied, “Glory be to You! We have no knowledge except what You have taught us.”
And they prostrated before Adam.
(Summarized from S: 2, V: 31–34)
Jacob, interpreting Joseph’s dream, said:
“Satan is an avowed enemy to man. Thus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee the interpretation of stories and events, and perfect His favor upon thee and the posterity of Jacob, just as He perfected it to thy fathers Abraham and Isaac before. For God is full of knowledge and wisdom.”
(S: 12, V: 6)
The Ruling Authority of Knowledge
Perception—when deepened, aligned with reality, and supported by wisdom—reveals that cosmic elements, including stars, the sun, and the moon, were made subject to Joseph’s spiritual ruling authority.
“Indeed, thy Lord is full of knowledge and wisdom.”
(S: 12, V: 6)
Final Note
It is not appropriate to accept the narratives of the Old Testament without investigation or verification. The straight path for believers is to seek guidance from the final revelation—the Holy Quran—and to understand it in the light of the teachings of God’s last Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
