Ahad atau Sunday bermaksud hari matahari. Zaman dahulu kala,
hari Ahad ialah hari kebesaran untuk mereka yang menyembah matahari (sun). Kajian
Dr Samuele Bacchiocchi dari Andrews
University menunjukkan
bahawa tidak terdapat bukti sejarah awal Kristian yang menunjukkan bahawa hari
Ahad ialah hari kebesaran agama Kristian (However, no adequate consideration
has yet been given to the theological motivations for Sunday observance
presented in the early Christian literature).
Hari Jumaat
adalah merupakan penghulu segala hari untuk orang Islam. Merupakan hari
perayaan pada setiap minggu untuk orang Islam. Pada hari Jumaat, Allah ciptakan
Adam, Allah turunkan Nabi Adam ke bumi,
Allah mematikan Nabi Adam dan banyak lagi kelebihan yang tertulis sejak awal
Islam.
Sekadar renungan,
sejauh mana kita memuliakan, menceriakan, meraikan hari Jumaat menurut syariat
Islam.
***************
Our investigation into the origin of Sunday observance has
so far focused on two major contributory factors. The first, anti-Judaism,
which appears to have caused a widespread devaluation and repudiation of the
Sabbath, thereby creating the exigency of a new day of worship. The second, the
development of Sun-cults with the consequent enhancement of the day of the Sun
over that of Saturn, a contingency which apparently oriented Christians toward
such a day, since it provided an adequate symbolism to commemorate significant
divine acts. However, no adequate consideration has yet been given to the
theological motivations for Sunday observance presented in the early Christian
literature.
