43 ­ Sabbath

The Quran mentions Sabbath abstinences for the Jewish people. Although the Jewish
people can work and lead a normal life 6 days of the week, abstinences are foreseen for the
seventh day, like abstaining from hunting. According to the Quran the said abstinences are
only for the Jewish people. “Sabbath” is on the seventh day of the week and the word “sebt”
is used exactly seven times. Following is an example;

124- The Sabbath was decreed only for those who had differed about it; and your
Lord will judge them on the Day of Resurrection regarding their disputes.
