The traditional Jewish and Christian view of the Sabbath relates its existence to creation of the world in six days, with God resting on the seventh. This notion, however, is explicitly rejected in the Quran: | |||
{{Quote|{{Quran|50|38}}| | {{Quote|{{Quran|50|38}}| | ||
And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there '''touched Us no weariness'''. | And We did certainly create the heavens and earth and what is between them in six days, and there '''touched Us no weariness'''. | ||

Rather than the certainty around the question found in the traditional Jewish and Christian commentariats around the question, to this very day the Islamic clerical community remains undecided on the divine origin of the the seven-day week: {{Quote|[https://islamqa.info/en/answers/110226/why-is-the-week-seven-days islamqa.info: Why is the week seven days?]| | |||

We cannot be certain about anything with regard of the division of the week into seven days, or the time when this division began – was it before the creation of the heavens and the earth, or was the creation of the heavens and the earth what led to this division? The reason for that is that we have no clear evidence which states anything certain to that effect.. | We cannot be certain about anything with regard of the division of the week into seven days, or the time when this division began – was it before the creation of the heavens and the earth, or was the creation of the heavens and the earth what led to this division?
