    One can research, and there is enough serious data and evidence even on the internet. that today's Saturday have never been lost since the dawn of time.
    Today's Saturday is as has always been the day of rest....

    Shabat Shalom!

    Peace dear brother GODsubmitter,

    That day (Saturday) was actually going to be my suggestion of day and that is the day that I feel that God has inspired me about and God seems to have stopped me from working that day and I felt extra heavy-headed that day (in a good way). But most important is that this Sabbath is commemorated every seventh day if you wish to keep a whole day for God.

    The Christians took the Sunday and Muslims Friday, but the Saturday was actually the original day in my theories.

    God bless you

      Peace GODsubmitter and Man of faith,

      Notice in Genesis, is there any name for the days?

      No. There are numbers.

      Hence naming is unneeded addition. Moreover it is attributed to the planets, which is another form of idolatery.

      Saturn-day. Moon-day. Sun-day.

      Time is to be measured by the movement, phase, trajectory of the sun and moon. As it writes in Quran.

      Study more on the own, and judge only with the the word of the Lord. That way you will quickly trash bs.

      Peace,
      R.

        Salaam,

        You are right about that and I had that in consideration. And both the Persians and the old people of the Old Testament (Tanakh) said the number of the day and not a name, ie Persians say, for example Panj-shanbe (day 5).

        But their calendars ought to end their week on the Saturday traditionally, but not so for the Persians as they nowadays align their week as the Arabs due to Islam.

        But you are right, it should only matter that the Seventh Day of the week was Sabbat and then all is fine. That you regularly devote time for God is most important.

        Ps. Another reason I am suspecting the Persians to be the people in the OT.

        God bless you

          Peace,

          Gregorian calendar is a global mind-fuck.

          Each religious group has bitten the bait assuming that the counter is in tact, and loosing the natural timing precisely because of the intactfulness of the counter.

          Thus, for the today's muslims, jummuah is Pope's jummuah.

          For the jews, the assumed sabbath is Gregory's saturn-day.

          For the christians, it is pope's day of sun.

          So, the stupidity has no wings but prevents the birds from flying.

          The precision of natural time is anchored with Season, the phase of the moon, and the interval of sunlight.

          Btw, today is the last day of the natural month. Tomorrow is new moon day, or zero moon day as I prefer to call it. The time of thankfulness for the previous month and prayer for the coming one.

          Peace, and praise belongs to the One who all and everything belong.

          R.

            Sabbath is for Bani Israel.Sabbath has nothing to do with Islamic fiqh.

            We will get a wrong way if we learn Sabbath by using Quran only.Tanakh-Torah is the best sources to understand Sabbath.

              Salaam,

              Well, a sort of Sabbath in traditional regard can be fruitful and righteous, even if the Qur'an does not really talk about it like that. I mean put everything aside for one day when it comes to thinking about profit and the likes and instead only think about God and purification.

              Sabbath when you read it in Qur'an is a pretty humble and warm event as long as you do not interpret it like some of Jesus' contemporaries.

              Well, if the event is not found in Qur'an in any extent so it cannot be something mandatory but rather voluntary.

              God bless you

                "Shabbat is primarily a day of rest and spiritual enrichment. The word "Shabbat" comes from the root Shin-Beit-Tav, meaning to cease, to end, or to rest."

                In scripture is another trap of selective translation. Translation is like glowes. But the best feel is without them. Those who know do not translate. They rewrite. And the right combination of words arrives to the perfect essence.

                Praise be to the God of Presence.

                Peace,

                  265 You have come to know who it was among you that transgressed the resting day, We said to them ?Be despicable apes!?

                  447 O you who have received the Book, believe in what We have sent down authenticating what is with you, before We cast down faces and turn them on their backs or curse them as the people of the resting day were cursed. And the will of God is always done.

                  4154 And We raised the mount above them by the covenant they took, and We said to them ?Enter the passageway by crouching.? And We said to them ?Do not transgress the resting day;? and We took from them a solemn covenant.

                  7163 And ask them about the town which was by the sea, after they had transgressed the resting day; their fish would come to them openly on the day of their rest, and when they are not in the resting day, they do not come to them! It is such that We afflicted them for what wickedness they were in.

                  16124 Indeed, the resting day was only decreed for those who had disputed in it, and your Lord will judge between them for that in which they had disputed.

                  Peace,
                  R.

                    Peace,

                    So what is the right combination of words "which arrives to the perfect essence" Shin-Beit-Tav?
                    Why do you write the hint and not give the solution or explanation?
                    Thanx

                      Can anyone enlighten me as to why in Quran, apes are seen as despicable? I recently visited to mountain gorillas in Bwindi National Park, Uganda. They are truly beautiful, amazing awesome creatures. I certainly couldn't see them as despicable.
