God Certainly Created the Heavens and Earth in Six Days, and Then He Established Himself Above the Throne, but No Weariness Touched Him

Genesis 2:2, Torah
[But they say,] "On the seventh day, God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made."

Thus God Said, "Were We Then Tired in Creation? What Then is My Place of Rest? Or have you Not Heard that the Creator of the Ends of the Earth does Not Faint, Neither is Weary?"

Isaiah 40:28, Torah
Have you not known?  Have you not heard, [that] the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not faint, neither is weary?  [There is] no searching of His understanding -

32:4, Qur'an
[For] it is God [alone] who created the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them in six days; then He established Himself above the Throne.

Hebrews 4:4, Gospel
[But they say,] "He spoke in a certain place of the seventh [day] on this wise, "And God did rest the seventh day from all His works."

50:15, Qur'an
Were We then tired in the first creation?  But they are in confusion over a new creation.

46:33, Qur'an
Do they not see that God, who created the heavens and earth and did not tire in their creation, is able to give life to the dead? Yes. Indeed, He is Powerful over all things.

2:255, Qur'an
[For He is] God - there is no god except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth [belongs] to Him. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they do not encompass a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Psalms 121:2 - 4, Torah
[And so] my help [comes] from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved, He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

Acts 7:49 - 50, Gospel
"[For] Heaven [is] My throne, and earth [is] My footstool, what House will you build Me?  Says the Lord, or what [is] the place of My rest?  Has My hand not made all these things?"

50:38, Qur'an
[Yes, whereby] We certainly created the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and no weariness touched Us.

Sections of Sabbath

Moses Said, "The Seventh Day is the Sabbath of the Lord, you will do No Work in it which is Unseemly, so that your Servants may Rest as Well as you and be Refreshed"

But those who Wronged Among them Changed the Words to "Whoever does Any Work on the Sabbath will be Put to Death," for Satan Threw in [Falsehood] as a Trial for those Hard of Heart

7:144 - 145, Qur'an
[Remember when God] said, "O Moses, I have chosen you over the people with My messages and My words [to you].  So take what I have given you and be among the grateful."  And We wrote [something] of all things for him on the tablets - instruction and explanation for all things, [saying], "Take them with determination and order your people to take the best of it."

Deuteronomy 5:1 - 2, Torah
[So] Moses called all Israel, and said to them, "Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgements which I speak in your ears this day, so that you may learn them, and keep, and do them.  [For] the Lord our God made a covenant with us in Horeb -

Deuteronomy 5:12 - 15, Torah
'Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God has commanded you. You will labor six days, and do all your work.  But the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of the Lord your God, you will not do any work [in it], you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger who [is] within your gates; so that your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you. And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and [that] the Lord your God brought you out from there through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm, therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.'

Exodus 23:12, Torah
[And thus] you will do your work for six days, and you will rest on the seventh day, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed."

7:162, Qur'an
But those who wronged among them changed [the words] to a statement other than that which had been said to them.  So We sent a punishment from the heaven upon them for the wrong that they were doing -

[Book of Jubilees 50:15 - 17], Torah
[For they said,] "Every man who does any work thereon, or goes [on] a journey, or tills [his] farm, whether in his house or any other place, and whoever lights a fire, or rides on any beast, or travels by ship on the sea, and whoever strikes or kills anything, or whoever fasts or makes war on the Sabbaths, or slaughters a beast or a bird, or whoever catches an animal or a bird or a fish: The man who does any of these things on the Sabbath will die,

7:163, Qur'an
And [so] ask them about the town that was by the sea - when they transgressed in [the matter of] the Sabbath - when their fish came to them openly on their Sabbath day [but they refused to catch them because they said, "Whoever catches a fish on the Sabbath will die"], and the day they had no Sabbath, they did not come to them [and so their town was on the verge of unnecessary starvation].  Thus, We gave them a trial because they were defiantly disobedient -

Exodus 35:2, Torah
[For they said,] "Work will be done [during] six days, but there will be a holy day to you on the seventh day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord, whoever does [any] work therein will be put to death.

3:71, Qur'an
[So] O People of the Scripture, why do you mix the truth with falsehood…?

22:52 - 54, Qur'an
[For] We did not send any messenger or prophet before you except that when Satan desired, he threw in his [own] desire [into His verses]. But God abrogates that [falsehood] which Satan throws in [His verses]; then God makes His verses precise. And God is Knowing and Wise. [That is] so He may make what [falsehood] Satan throws in a trial for those who have disease in their hearts and those hard of heart. And indeed, the wrongdoers are in extreme dissension. And so those who were given knowledge may know that it is the truth from your Lord and [therefore] believe in it, and their hearts become humble to it. And indeed, God is the Guide of those who have believed to a straight path -

[Book of Jubilees 2:47 - 48], Torah
[So] declare and say to the Children of Israel the law of this day, both that they should keep Sabbath thereon, and that they should not forsake it in the error of their hearts; [and] that it is not lawful to do any work thereon which is unseemly, to do their own pleasure thereon.

Isaiah 58:13 - 14, Torah
[And thus,] if you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, [from] doing your [own] pleasure on My holy day; and call the Sabbath a delight, the holy of the Lord, honorable; and will honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking [your own] words. Then you will delight yourself in the Lord; and I will cause you to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken [it].

When Jesus Brought Clear Proofs, he Said, "It is Lawful to do Well on the Sabbath Days"

But the Ruler of the Synagogue Answered with Indignation, Because Jesus had Healed on the Sabbath Day

3:50, Qur'an
[When Jesus brought clear proofs, he said, "I have come] confirming what is in my hands of the Torah and to make some of what was forbidden to you [now] lawful to you.  And I have come with a sign to you from your Lord [in that I cure the blind and the leper], so fear God and obey me."

2:170, Qur'an
[But] when it is said to them, "Follow what God has sent down," they say, "Rather, we will follow that which we found our fathers doing." Even though their fathers understood nothing, nor were they guided?

John 5:16, Gospel
[For] the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these [miraculous] things on the Sabbath day.

Luke 6:6 - 7, Gospel
[So] it came to also pass on another Sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught, and there was a man whose right hand was withered.  And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the Sabbath day; so that they might find an accusation against him.

Mark 3:4 - 5, Gospel
[So he said] to them, "Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do evil? To save life, or to kill?"  But they held their peace.  And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he says to the man, "Stretch forth your hand."  And he stretched [it] out, and his hand was restored whole as the other.

Luke 13:14, Gospel
[But] the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath day, and said to the people, "There are six days in which men should work, therefore come and be healed in them, and not on the Sabbath day."

Matthew 12:11, Gospel
[So] he said to them, "What man will there be among you, who will have one sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift [it] out?

Luke 13:15, Gospel
[You] hypocrite, does each one of you not loose his ox or [his] donkey from the stall on the Sabbath, and lead [him] away to watering?

Matthew 12:12, Gospel
Then how much better is a man than a sheep?  Therefore it is lawful to do well on the Sabbath days."

5:78 - 79, Qur'an
[Thus,] those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of Jesus, the son of Mary, and of David.  That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.  They did not used to prevent one another from wrongdoing that they did.  What they were doing was surely wretched.

Isaiah 56:1 - 2, Torah
Thus the Lord says, "Keep judgement, and do justice, for My salvation [is] near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed."  The man [who] does this [is] blessed, and the Son of man [who] lays hold on it; who keeps the Sabbath from polluting it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

God Said, "If you will Not Hear Me to Make the Sabbath Day Holy, I will Bring Nebuchadnezzar Against All the Inhabitants of Jerusalem"

And Thus, We Seized those who Wronged; so Believe in what We have Sent Down Before We Curse them as We Cursed the Companions of the Sabbath

*4:154, Qur'an
We raised the mount over them for [breaking] their covenant; and We said to them, "Enter the gate prostrating," and We said to them, "Do not transgress on the Sabbath," and We took a solemn covenant from them -

Jeremiah 17:19 - 20, Torah
[Whereby] the Lord said to [Jeremiah]; "Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem; and say to them, 'Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, who enter in by these gates.

*Jeremiah 17:21 - 23, Torah
Thus the Lord says; 'Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring [it] in by the gates of Jerusalem; neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, neither do any work, but make the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your fathers. But they did not obey, neither incline their ear, but they made their neck stiff, so that they might not hear, nor receive instruction'" -

[Book of Jubilees 50:10], Torah
[For they said instead], "Whoever desecrates that [Sabbath] day, whoever lies with [his] wife or whoever says he will do something on it, that he will set out on a journey thereon in regard to any buying or selling: and whoever draws water thereon which he had not prepared for himself on the sixth day, and whoever takes up any burden to carry it out of his tent or out of his house will die.

[Book of Jubilees 50:13], Torah
For the honor is great which the Lord has given to Israel that they should eat and drink and be satisfied on this festival day [of the Sabbath], and rest thereon from all labor which belongs to the labor of the children of men, except burning frankincense and bringing oblations and sacrifices before the Lord for days and for Sabbaths.

Isaiah 1:13 - 15, Torah
"[So hear the word of the Lord,] 'Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to Me; the new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I am not able; [it is] iniquity, even the solemn meeting. My soul hates your new moons and your appointed feasts, they are a trouble to Me; I am weary to bear [them]." And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide My eyes from you, indeed, when you make many prayers, I will not hear, your hands are full of blood.

Jeremiah 17:27, Torah
[And thus,] if you will not hear Me to make the Sabbath day holy, and to not bear a burden, even entering in at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then I will kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it will not be quenched -

Jeremiah 32:32 - 33, Torah
Because of all the evil of the Children of Israel and of the Children of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. [For] they have turned [their] back to Me, and not [their] face, though I taught them, rising up early and teaching [them], yet they have not listened to receive instruction.'

Jeremiah 25:8 - 9, Torah
Therefore the Lord of hosts thus says; 'Because you have not heard My words, behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,' the Lord says, 'And Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.'"

17:5, Qur'an
So when the [time of] promise came for the first of them, We sent servants of Ours [Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldees] against you - those of great military might, and they probed [even] into the homes, and it was a fulfilled promise -

2 Chronicles 36:17, Torah
[For] He brought the king of the Chaldees upon them, who slew their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion upon young man or maiden, old man, or one stooped for age, He gave [them] all into his hand.

Jeremiah 52:13 - 14, Torah
And [Nebuchadnezzar] burned the House of the Lord, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, and he burned all the houses of the great [men] with fire. And all the army of the Chaldeans, who [were] with the captain of the guard, broke down all the walls of Jerusalem round about.

Jeremiah 39:11 - 12, Torah
[But] Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, saying, "Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as he will say to you."

7:165, Qur'an
And [thus] when they forgot that by which they had been reminded, We saved those who had forbidden evil and seized those who wronged with a wretched punishment, because they were defiantly disobeying.

4:47, Qur'an
[So] O you who were given the Scripture, believe in what We have sent down, confirming that which is with you, before We obliterate faces and turn them toward their backs or curse them as We cursed the companions of the Sabbath. And the command of God is [always] accomplished.
