	~~As we've seen, according to the Bible, Jews should take a rest on~~ the ~~7th day, which is connected~~ to ~~the story~~ of ~~creation where God created~~ the world in 6 days, ~~but rested~~ on the ~~7th day~~. ~~So 7 day week makes sense in Judaism. However in Islam~~, ~~the resting of god~~ is rejected:		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'''.

			Furthermore the traditional Islamic commentariat has been even more explicit in its rejection of the idea that God would have need for rest:
