The Moon does not have light of its own. The light we see from the Moon is the light of the Sun reflected toward Earth.
When you see the phases of the Moon, you are only seeing part of the Moon's lighted surface, because at any time exactly half of its surface is facing the Sun, and receiving light from it. With a telescope you can dimly see the part that is not lighted, because some light from Earth is likewise being reflected to the Moon.
