seven day week cycle
-
I just want to know
- Do Quran support seven-day-week-cycle just like hebrew/jewish calendar?
- Is there any verse in Quran that mention about that (days counting)?
- How Quranic position regarding biblical Sabbath day? is it just for jews?
Sorry for my bad english. But first thanks for your answers...

The reading says the sabbath was ONLY for those who differed regarding it. So it was a fitna(trial). There is no sabbath. The word for sabbath means to stop. We are never to stop serving the God.
This is quite interesting and short explanation to it

The seven day cycle, especially involving this idea that we work 5 days then rest 2 then work 5 days then rest 2 then work 5 days then rest 2 ad infinium is an abomination of the modern world IMO.
Apparently, in the ancient celtic culture (Northern Spain, France, Ireland and Britain) before they were colonised with Roman Catholicism who brought the hebrew tradition of the sabbath, they used a 10-day cycle as a 'week' and as well as solar/lunar year calendar. This dispells the widely accepted notion that the '7-day week is natural for mankind everywhere'.
Although I suppose it is natural for mankind as everyday is the same for men. Perhaps that is why weekly cycles had to exist so men didn't have to think about what they should be doing and when. rotfl
Thankfully women do not have this problem as we have our own in-built cycling mechanism to tell us what's happening. Rather than this unatural 7 day nonesense, I run on my own calendar which is generally 22 days work 7 days rest 22 days work 7 days rest 22 days work 7 days rest and so on. If I had been left to this then I suppose my life would have been quite rosy.
But no. Since I was brought up in a culture where women are taught that unless they act like men they don't exist as 'people' and are therefore deserving of abuse, I have had to try and fit myself around this 5 days work 2 days rest pattern and had no end of problems. Only to then be told that society is right as the 7 day week is 'the way it's supposed to be' and therefore it's my body that's wrong brickwall
If the 7 day week & sabbath timing was only meant for Jews pre Jesus then I vote we end it immediately, or at the very least exclude all women from having to adhere to it, asap.
Okay rant over.
