Hari Ahad, Sunday ialah sempena hari sembah matahari




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.
