What are the days of the week mentioned in the Noble Quran?
ما هي أيام الأسبوع التي جاء ذكرها في القرآن الكريم؟
The Holy Quran explicitly mentions two days of the week by name: Friday (Al-Jumu'ah) and Saturday (As-Sabt). Friday is highlighted for its congregational prayer, while Saturday is mentioned regarding the Sabbath laws given to previous nations.
ذكر القرآن الكريم صراحة يومين من أيام الأسبوع وهما: يوم الجمعة ويوم السبت. ورد ذكر الجمعة في سياق الصلاة والذكر، بينما ورد ذكر السبت في سياق أحكام "أصحاب السبت" من الأمم السابقة.
1. Friday (Al-Jumu'ah)
(O believers! When the call to prayer is made on Friday, then proceed diligently to the remembrance of Allah and leave off your business. That is best for you, if only you knew.) [62:9]
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِن يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلَىٰ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ...
2. Saturday (As-Sabt)
Saturday is mentioned in several verses, primarily concerning the "People of the Sabbath":
(You are already aware of those of you who broke the Sabbath. We said to them, "Be disgraced apes!") [2:65]
وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمُ الَّذِينَ اعْتَدَوْا مِنكُمْ فِي السَّبْتِ فَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ كُونُوا قِرَدَةً خَاسِئِينَ
(...We also warned them, "Do not break the Sabbath," and took from them a firm covenant.) [4:154]
...وَقُلْنَا لَهُمْ لَا تَعْدُوا فِي السَّبْتِ وَأَخَذْنَا مِنْهُم مِّيثَاقًا غَلِيظًا
