From Saf's Spot on the web:
"The word as-shams (the sun) is feminine, and qamar (moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light; 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."
-Sheikh Abdullah Adhami
A wise man indeed. Oddly, this came up in a conversation with a friend recently where I hypothesized the same thing...
