وَخَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ

75:8 At the eclipse of the moon, darkness hides all that was visible, but when the moon shines again, the reality of the world again becomes visible. This is also a reminder of heedlessness that hides the Reality from a human beings inner eye. Metaphorically “and the moon will eclipse” can also refer to the downfall of the Muslim power symbolized by the moon on their banners. Another reference is to the Holy Prophet (pbuh), as he is compared to the moon deriving its light from the real Sun. The eclipse of the moon can also refer to his teachings that will suffer a temporary phase of darkness.
