The abrogation of the Sabbath day was a direct violation of
the fourth command of the Decalogue, and the institution of
Sunday instead was as arbitrary as it is inimical. True, the
Koran abrogated the Sabbath day, not because the Friday
was a holier day, but simply because the Jews made an abuse
of it by declaring that God, after the labor of six days,
reposed on the seventh day, as if He were man and was
fatigued. Prophet Muhammad would have destroyed any day or
object, however holy or sacred, if it were made an object of
worship intending to deal a blow or injury to God's Greatness
and Glory. But the abrogation of the Sabbath by the decree
of Constantine was for the institution of the Sunday on which
Jesus is alleged to have risen from the sepulcher. Jesus
himself was a strict observer of the Sabbath day, and re-
primanded the Jewish leaders for their objection to his doing
the deeds of charity on it.
