82affect other people, but to change the Law of God and the established holy days or festivals would naturally subvert the religion altogether. The first two commandments of the Law of Moses (pbuh) , concerning the absolute Oneness of God -“Thou shalt have no other gods besides me”- and the strict prohibition of making images and statues for worship were directly violated and abrogated by the edict of Constantine. To proclaim three personal beings in the Deity and to confess that the Eternal Almighty was conceived and born of the Virgin Mary is the greatest insult to the Law of God and the grossest idolatry. To make a golden or wooden image for worship is abominable enough, but to make a mortal an object of worship, declare him God (!), and even adore the bread and the wine of the Eucharist as “the body and blood of God,” is an impious blasphemy.Then to every righteous Jew and to a Prophet like Daniel, who from his youth was a most devoted observer of the Mosaic Law, what could be more repugnant than the substitution of the Easter for the Paschal Lamb ofthe great feast of the Passover and the sacrifice of the “Lamb of God” upon the cross, and upon thousands of altars every day? The abrogation of the Sabbath day was a direct violation of the fourth command of the Decalogue, and the institution of Sunday instead was as arbitrary as it is inimical. True, the Quran abrogated the Sabbath day, not because the Friday was a holier day, [1] but simply because the Jews made an abuse of it by declaring that God, after the labour ofsix days, reposed on the seventh day, asif He were man and was fatigued. Muhammad (pbuh) would have destroyed any day or object, however holy or sacred, ifit were made an object of worship intending to deal a blow or injury to God’s greatness and glory. But the abrogation of the Sabbath by the decree of Constantine was for the institution of the Sunday on which Jesus (pbuh) is alleged[1] According To the Islamic concept, Friday is a holy day.
