Different weekends in Different countries | Lang-8: For learning foreign languages
Muslim majority countries that are secular (Turkey, Marocco, Lebanon, etc.) all have Saturday-Sunday weekend while those under Islamic state often have Thursday-Friday or Friday-Saturday.

Indeed Israel planned to make Sunday part of a weekend as well but Muslims in the area didn't like it because they said Israel is in the middle east, not a western country.

Has nothing to do with your original topic.

I know heaven exist, but what about hell?

If you want to cover workweeks and weekends then IMO create a new thread for it, as what Muslim countries have nothing to do with Judaism.

Another thing of note is that the concept of "weekend" is new - an invention of labor laws that came in the 20th century. Talking about the weekend in a historical context loses meaning before the industrial revolution and industrial reforms.

The RCC did that...Based on a misinterpretation...

Do you know when Sunday, or the first day begins?...On Saturday at sundown...According to the gospels, the women went to the tomb when it was dark on the first day and found the tomb empty...
