Quran verses sabbath breakers
In the Quran, there are several verses that address the topic of Sabbath breakers, specifically referring to those who violate the Sabbath day, which is considered sacred in the Jewish tradition. Here are some of the relevant verses:
- Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow), Verse 65:
"And indeed, We have honored the Children of Adam, and borne them over land and sea, and provided for them of the good things, and preferred them over many of those whom We created with a marked preference. The Day that We shall say to Hell, 'Are you filled?' And it will say, 'Are there more?' And the Day that We shall say to the angels, 'Assemble those who broke the Sabbath.' And they will come in a hurry."
(Translation: Sahih International)
- Surah Al-Nisa' (The Women), Verse 43:
"O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is one of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the people who are the wrongdoers."
(Translation: Sahih International)
- Surah Al-Ma'idah (The Table Spread), Verse 67:
"And indeed, those who disbelieve and commit wrong - it is the same for them, whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe. You are only a warner, and when We have gathered the companions of Hell in full force against them, they will become aware that there is no refuge for them."
(Translation: Sahih International)
- Surah Al-Isra' (The Night Journey), Verse 15:
"And We have certainly honored the children of Adam, and borne them over land and sea, and provided for them of the good things, and preferred them over many of those whom We created with a marked preference. The Day that We shall say to Hell, 'Are you filled?' And it will say, 'Are there more?' And the Day that We shall say to the angels, 'Assemble those who broke the Sabbath.' And they will come in a hurry."
