But why did Allah originally instructed the Jews to adhere to the Sabath, and why did Allah change some Jews into apes and swine because they did not rest on the sabath?
Q 7:166 I find it interesting that YHWH would sanction the Sabath as a day of rest in the Bible. Then came Muhammad 1 000 years after the Old Testament, and tells us that Allah was so disgusted with Jews who fished on the Sabbath, that he turned them into apes! Then Allah went further, and made the Friday a holy day. It seems as if Allah changes his mind often.

Salaamun Alaikum
Firstly, I want you to know that Islam does establish that the Sabbath was commanded to the people of Israel. In 4:54, it says, " We raised the Mount over them for (breaking) their covenant and said,'Enter the gate(of Jerusalem) with humility.' We also warned them,'Do not break the Sabbath' and took from them a firm covenant." However, in 16:123-124, it is said," We revealed to you: 'Follow the faith of Abraham, who wasn't a polytheist'. The Sabbath was ordained for those who disputed(the faith of Abraham). Surely, your lord will judge between them regarding their disputes." Thus, it is safe to say that the Sabbath was ordained for the people of Israel. According to Islamic narrations, people were not allowed to work,not even fish or collect wood, or light fire(which means people had to stay in the dark during the night of Friday) on the day of the Sabbath. The Sabbath was a day reserved only for prayer. People of contemporary times just cannot adhere to such strict rules. In fact, according to the Bible, people during the time of Jesus were no longer obliged to obey the strict rules of the Sabbath as stated in Matthew 12:1-14, Mark 2:23-28, 2:1-6, Luke 6:1-11, 13:10-17, 14:1-6, and John 5:1-18. Technically, Muslims do have a "Sabbath hour." In 62:9, it is said, "When the call for prayer is proclaimed on Friday, hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of God, and leave off all of your businesses." However, we do not believe Allah rested on the seventh day after the beginning of the creation of the universe. It's just that the creation was completed in six days. Indeed, in 7:54, it was said, "Indeed, your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the Earth in six days," but there is no statement where it is said that Allah rested. In fact, God never needs rest. In 2:255, it is emphatically said, "There is no god except him, Allah, the ever-living and all-sustaining. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes him." Thus, we Muslims think that God resting on the seventh day of creation is a fabrication by the people of previous scriptures. Sabbath does mean rest in both Hebrew and Arabic. However, the rest refers to us, the followers of God, not our creator himself. Fun fact: Sabbath also means Saturday in both Hebrew and Arabic. Our prophet stated that God allocated the day of prayer for the Jews on Saturday, the Christians on Sunday, and the Muslims on Friday. It will the order in which we will be resurrected. Interestingly, according to Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 21, Hadith Number 284 and 285, our prophet would go to the Mosque of Quba every Saturday and perform prayers in it.

I am a new revert as well and I fully agree with your answer. One of the reasons I chose Islam is because it encompasses Judaism and Christianity. We are to listen to
ALL the things that Allah stated for his people and do them to the best of our ability. Islam was given to bring people back to the one true God. Jews went off the beaten path, Christians strayed off the truth of Prophet Yeshua, peace be upon him, and Islam was given to correct those wrongs and bring it all back to Allah. It doesn’t mean we dismiss the true commandments and directions of Allah in those other religions. We embrace all the truths that were given and dismiss the wrong parts and follow the final directions of the Quran. Allah said to do these things for ALL generations. We are to search ALL the scriptures. We are to obey ALL his commandments. Islam brings it home for the true believer. I was born a Christian and Allah has had me on a long five year journey to finding Islam. He routed me through the Jewish and Messianic religions on this journey. I came to realize the reason why is because he wanted to show me that there is his holy truth in all of it. It’s up to the believer to find these truths and learn the whole big picture and then follow what is learned. It has been a beautiful, heartbreaking, and awe inspiring journey. I had to unlearn some lies that I was taught in Christianity and Judaism. I had to learn a lot on the Arabic side of the Ishmael line and I agree that we are to follow the entire words of Allah and rest in the final truth of Islam. Inshallah |
