Law Shun is an online resource that publishes articles on a wide range of law-related subjects, including criminal law, civil litigation, intellectual property, and human rights. On January 26, 2026, Law Shun published an article addressing whether the Sabbath day is binding and if a day of rest is required. In its stated conclusion, they say it doesn’t matter which day you keep holy; just make sure you get some rest.
Yet this same platform, while presenting itself as a legal resource, offers an analysis that is deeply problematic. The most basic principle of jurisprudence is that the law itself must be read and applied as written. If the Law of God defines what day is the Sabbath, then the day for rest and worship is not open for interpretation. If the Sabbath is explicitly codified by Divine Law, then to dismiss it is to abandon legal reasoning altogether, rendering the entire system of law and order null and void. Any legal group willing to disregard the law in defense of the truth has forfeited all credibility and should not be trusted for any type of counsel.
Law Shun expressed the following fundamentally flawed and contradictory statements about the Sabbath:
• “Incorporating a day of rest and worship can still be spiritually beneficial. For instance, setting aside Sunday, or another day, for prayer, reflection, and community fosters spiritual renewal.” [1]
• “For instance, Seventh-day Adventists strictly adhere to Saturday Sabbath, while most Protestants observe Sunday as a day of rest, reflecting cultural shifts rather than scriptural mandate.” [1]
• “A family might designate Sunday as a tech-free day to foster connection, while a workplace could implement shorter hours one day a week to promote employee well-being.” [1]
• “Whether observed on Saturday, Sunday, or another day, the Sabbath’s value lies in its ability to restore and reconnect, making it a moral commandment expressed through cultural practice.” [1]
• “Orthodox Jews adhere to strict prohibitions on work … in Israel, Sabbath observance influences public transportation and commerce.” [1]
• “In Islam, the holy day of rest is Friday, known as Jumu’ah. Muslims gather for a congregational prayer at midday, a mandatory duty for adult men.” [1]
• “Hinduism, with its vast array of traditions, incorporates periodic rest days associated with specific deities and lunar phases.” [1]
• “Buddhism, while not prescribing a weekly day of rest, emphasizes the importance of regular retreats and meditation periods.” [1]
• “In Sikhism, the concept of Sabbath is intertwined with the idea of continuous devotion and service. While there is no designated day of rest, the community gathers for worship and langar, a community kitchen, on Sundays, a practice influenced by historical and cultural contexts. The emphasis is on collective worship, equality, and selfless service, reflecting the Sikh belief in a dynamic relationship with the Divine through active engagement and communal harmony.” [1]
• “These diverse interpretations of Sabbath across faiths reveal a common thread: the recognition of rest as a sacred act that nurtures spiritual, communal, and personal well-being. Whether through structured worship, fasting, meditation, or service, each tradition offers a unique pathway to reconnect with the divine and the self, reminding us of the universal need for pause and reflection in our lives.” [1]
It is both legal and spiritual malpractice to claim expertise in law while deliberately ignoring the binding claims of God’s law. In any legitimate legal system, authority flows from the law itself, not from personal opinion or convenience. God’s law does not leave the question of worship ambiguous—it clearly defines which day belongs to Him. To dismiss that command while presenting oneself as a legal authority is to participate in a fraud both legally and theologically.
The Bible describes this condition as being “drunk with the wine of Babylon,” a symbol of spiritual confusion and deception in which truth is diluted and error is embraced as acceptable (Revelation 17:2; 18:3). Rather than submitting to the clear authority of God’s Word, the majority of people today accept a mixture of human tradition, cultural preference, and religious compromise in matters of faith.
This spiritual intoxication works to clothe disobedience in the garments of righteousness. As a result, God’s commandments are reinterpreted, minimized, or cast aside altogether, while counterfeit systems of belief are exalted as legitimate. The Bible declares of the last days: “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Timothy 4:3–4). It further warns that such deceptions are not merely human inventions but “doctrines of devils” (1 Timothy 4:1), embraced by a world that has chosen falsehoods over truth and has followed so-called experts—experts indeed, not in truth, but in leading souls away from God’s word.

Always, Scripture above the “experts”.
Both the Holy scriptures (Bible) and Quran agree one thing in common (they agree that saturday is the Holy sabbath day blessed and sanctified by God.) Every christian worldwide knows that Jesus Christ died on Friday which is celebrated as Good friday (preparation day) saturday(sabbath day) sunday the first day of the week? Even in the CATHOLIC CHURCH CATECHISM – They acknowledge that they meet on sunday the day of the sun the first day of the week the eighth day after the Jewish sabbath? The Roman Catholic acknowledges that they are the ones who changed the fourth commandment decalogue of sabbath day (saturday) to the first day of the week sunday. Today, in our modern world there are three big days of worship recognized by the three big religions in the world? Friday is officially recognized as the day of worship by Muslim world. Saturday is the day recognized by Jews from Judaistic religion and christians from minority sabbath keepers such as Advent Christian, Seventh Day Adventists. Sunday is the day associated to the largest majority of christian mainstream churches led by Roman Catholic Church.
It’s noteworthy to point that these three days of worship are prophesied in the book of (Isaiah 9:14). In the bible the King James Version (KJV) States: The Lord will cut off Israel from head and tail, branch and rash in one day.” The head symbolizes the ”Ancient and honourable men” and the tail is symbolizes prophets who teaches lies”. The Ancient and honourable represents Roman Pontiff, while the prophet who teaches lies symbolizes Prophet Mohammed. So, when you cut the head and tail you remain with the body . The leader of Islamic religion is Prophet Mohammed the one who teaches lies; leads the muslim world to worship on friday, while the leader of christian world the Ancient and Honourable represents Pope of Rome the leader of Roman Catholic Church who changed the day of worship from sabbath to sunday. The three days are also symbolized by the three thieves who were crucified together with Jesus christ being crucified flanked in between. The Lord of the Sabbath is Jesus Christ because it was his custom to rest and keep the sabbath according to the fourth commandment.
I would like to quote several quotations from the quran which acknowledge Sabbath(saturday) as (As- sabt) as the day of worship? And recognizes Sabbath sacredness as the covenant for the children of Israel. It’s mentioned in the multiple times in the Quran in the context of being a religious rest and worship. srecifically prohibiting labour and fishing. Here are key points regarding the sabbath in the quran:
-Mention of Saturday as (As -Sabt): -The word sabbath is mentioned six times in the quran, often in reference to the sabbath.”
-A specific command for the Jews: The quran clarifies the sabbath was ordained specifically for the Jews who differed over it (Quran 16:124).
-The story of sabbath breakers: The Quran recounts the story of community that violated the sabbath by fishing on saturday ( When fish appeared in abundance) and was punished for transgression (Quran 7:163,2:65).
-Not applicable to Muslims: Islamic theology distinguishes between the laws given to previous nations and those given to Muslims. The Quran indicates that Friday (Jumu’ah) is the day of gathering and worship for Muslims which is distinct from the Jewish sabbath on saturday or christian sunday.
-Quranic references:
Surah Al Araf (7:163):” Ask them about the town that was at sea -when they transgressed in matters concerning sabbath…”
-Surah An -Nisa (4:47) or curse them as we cursed the sabbath breakers.”
-Surah Al -Nahl (16:124) sabbath was appointed only for those who differed concerning it….”
While the Quran affirms the sabbath was valid, sacred law in the past it also states this specific obligation does not apply for the followers of Prophet Muhammad”.
The 1st idea of a Sabbath came from God.
The 1st Memorial given to mankind by God is the 7th Day Sabbath.
The 1st sign/seal/logo is God’s 7th Day Sabbath.
God knew that satan desired to be like God, desired to be worship like God, and desired to be exalted above God Isaiah 14:12-15; anything that seeks to separate us from the one amd true God, the Creator, Redeemer, and Restorer. This is why there are calls to keep a day, but not the one and only Day God Sanctified and made Holy.
This is Idolatry!
“because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. ”
Genesis 26:5 KJV
“12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD thy God hath commanded thee.
13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work: 14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou. ”
Deuteronomy 5:12-14 KJV
“1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. ”
Hebrews 11:1-11 KJV

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. ”
John 14:15, 21 KJV
“3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. ”
Exodus 20:3-6 KJV
