The Moselem Sabbath day is on Friday; the Christian Sabbath day is on Sunday; and the Jewish Sabbath day is on Saturday.

Now it happened that in a Small village in the Land of Israel that Mohammed the Moslem, Peter the Christian, and Aaron the Jew were the best of friends. Each of them observed his own Sabbath day.

One Autumn Friday, Aaron and Peter set out to work their fields while Mohammed stayed home to observe his day of rest. As Aaron and Peter worked their own fields, both noticed Mohammed's field was only half plowed. They also noticed it looked like rain on the morrow.

Both thought to himself, Since Mohammed can do no work today,and with the coming rain, my friend's field may not be plowed in time for the sowing of grain. Why dont I plow his field, that will make it a little easier for him and pehaps save his crops for the year... w/o a word to each other, each began to plow Mohammed's field simultaneously. One from the west and one from the east 'til they finished the entire field.

The next day Mohammed went out to work his field, finding it all plowed. Marveling, he said, I didn't finish plowing my field, yet it is all plowed. He raised his hands to the heavens saying Surely, G-d sent His Angels to plow my field while I observed His Day of Rest.

Months passed and the three friends crops florished. Harvest Season arrived. One Sunday morn Peter stayed @ home to observe his Sabbath. Aaron and Mohammed were out in their fields. As they worked their fields, they noticed the corn in Peter's field was full and ready to cut.

Both thought to themselves, If I cut my friend's field it will help him and the corn will not be lost. Unseen by each other they began to harvest Peter's corn, one from the north and one from the south. Soon the entire crop was harvested.

Peter went to his field the following day to cut his corn and found it all harvested. He raised his hands to the heavens and said, Surely G-d has sent His Angels to labor in my fields and cut my corn for me.

Harvest time finally passed and the threshing season arrived. One Saturday Morning Mohammed and Peter went to their fields to thresh their grans while Aaron staye home, remembering the Sabbath, to keep it Holy.

Now, as Mohammed glanced @ the sky, where clouds were gathering, he thought: Today is Saturday, Aaron's Sabbath. He cannot work the field. But the rain is coming. It will wash his grain away and he'll lose the crop. I'll ask Peter to help me thresh Aarons grain and we'll save it for Aaron.

The two men worked to save Aaron's grain, threshing it and covering it with straw to protect it from the coming rain.

The next day, when Aaron went to his field, he found his grain already threshed and safe under the straw. Lifting his hands to heaven, he said Blessed art Thou, O L-rd, who dost send Thy Angels to help those who remember Thy Sabbath Day' to keep it Holy!

Sadly,People have yet a long way to go.
Yet I see glimpses of it nearly every day.
Maybe I am one of the few privileged Ones.dunno


Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Well John,maybe some day.

Hi CjTenorSax

I am sorried to say this but this story is wrong.
This is wrong because working on friday is not forbided to us.And if we works in the name of Allah (in every day) this is only good deeds.

Al Jumu'ah Surah 62. The Congregation, Friday

9. O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but knew!

10. And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah. and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.

Certainly Allah said the truth

Stay healthly.
