The Sabbath-Breakers
Allah the Almighty says:
{And ask them (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) about the
town that was by the sea; when they transgressed in the matter of the
Sabbath (i.e. Saturday): when their fish came to them openly on the
Sabbath day, and did not come to them on the day they had no
Sabbath. Thus We made a trial of them, for they used to rebel
against Allah's Command (disobey Allah). And when a community
among them said: "Why do you preach to a people whom Allah is about
to destroy or to punish with q severe torment?" (The preachers) said:
"in order to be free from guilt before your Lord (Allah), and perhaps
they may fear Allah." So when they forgot the remindings that had
been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil, but We seized
those who did wrong with a severe torment because they used to rebel
against Allah's Command (disobey Allah). So when they exceeded the
limits of what they were prohibited, We said to them: “Be you
monkeys, despied and rejected}. (Al-A' rat, 163-166)
And, {And indeed you knew those amongst you who transgressed in
the matter of the Sabbath (i.e. Saturday). We said to them: "Be you
monkeys, despised and rejected." So We made this punishment an
example to their own and to succeeding generations and a lesson to
those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious)}. (Al-Baqarah, 65, 66)
And, {Or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath breakers}. (An-Nisa',
47)
