Sunday is not work free day allover the world..

And yes Fridays are work free days in most Arab nations..


we are talking about economic recession some people are calling for more holidays

Note: Fridays and Saturdays in Saudi are Saturdays and Sundays in most developed countries ( called western world)

Saudi Arabia changes its working week to
Sunday-Thursday


(Reuters) - Saudi Arabia has announced it is switching its official weekend to
Fridays and Saturdays, bringing the kingdom's working week closer in line
with other countries in a move long desired by many of the country's
businesses.
Saudi Arabia, the biggest Arab economy, had been the only member of the
six-member Gulf Cooperation Council to have a Thursday-Friday weekend
after Oman shifted to a Friday-Saturday weekend last month.
The surprise move, which will be applied from this week, was immediately
welcomed by Saudi economists and businessmen as giving the private sector
an extra day of alignment with international businesses.
"It will increase interface with the rest of the world, now things will move
faster," said Ali al-Ajmi, a former vice president at state oil company Saudi
Aramco who now runs a project management business.
Abdulrahman al-Ubaid, a former vice president at Saudi Basic Industries Corp
(SABIC), the world's biggest petrochemical company, and now managing
director of Saudi Development and Innovation Group, also welcomed the
change.
"We expect the impact to be positive on the Saudi economy, we think our
business will be easier," he said.

Some religious conservatives had argued against moving to a Friday-
Saturday weekend because they feared it smacked of westernisation.
However, that argument did not enjoy serious support, said Saudi sociologist
Khalid al-Dakhil.
"In terms of religious opposition, yes there might be some, but there's
absolutely no unanimity in opposing this course among religious people," he
said.

Sorry to tell you that your assumption is wrong.

Sundays are working days in many countries.

in actual fact, Sundays are first working days in all Arab countries and others not colonized by European countries.

Similarly Fridays and in some countries, Saturdays are are also consider as work-free days.

I doubt it if you have ever left the shore of Nigeria.

Never mind, Google is your friend.

call for Google's assistance before you post comments out of ignorance.

if you ask me, all work free days should be done away with or they share it equally starting from Fridays for Muslims, Saturdays for traditional worshippers, sundays for Christians and everyday for atheists

as it is now, it is in the interest of Christendom

As a muslim that i am i have actually thought of this before

I once asked my uztaz

He said and i quote in hausa "haram ne" which means it is forbidden

I was perplexed and then he explained it to me

He said the only break a worker needs on friday is the juma'a break which should be from 12-2 or whatever time it is being prayed in your community

But taking the whole day off because of Juma'a prayers is actually haram.

So mr akintola go and sit down one place and stop causing problems

Muslims preach intolerance with bombs, Christians do with media.. Evidence, book haram, alshabaab, Isis and the likes, Christians, CNN, BBC, medias generally, hence the shout of islamazation all the time.
Non-muslims are not able to appreciate 2 things
(1) we don't really see BH as Muslims
(2) BH kill Muslims; we hate them and we cannot see anything they have done that have benefitted Muslims; they only hurt us

FunkyMetahuman:

this is the reason why we have school uniforms for schools.. So nobody will intimidate anybody.. Everyone should dress uniformly or nobody should.
People use the laws to suppress what they dislike
The Brits called our local gin - illicit gin - to bring in theirs
The uniform we have is derived from the orientation of the Brits who at the time had a blasphemy law (protecting Christianity) in their Books
It is designed to suppress islamic culture

The sunni jihadist Buhari will not hesitate to consider their plea because Nigerians entered one chance by voting the dullard.

Anyway, i think this is a misplaced priority. This is not what we should be talking about in a time when hunger and hardship is ravaging the society.

The Director of Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, Ishaq Akintola, has called for ‘fair treatment’ between Christians and Muslims in Nigeria.
The professor of Islamic Eschatology said Nigeria is not a secular state as according to him, it does not recognize religion.

In a chat with the Punch, Akintola said, “I still insist Nigeria is not a secular state. It does not recognise any religion at all. An example is the Sallah holidays. Although Christians used to enjoy Christmas and other holidays, there was no Sallah holiday for Muslims on Eid el-Fitr and Eid el-Kabir days during the colonial days. We wrenched that from our oppressors’ hands after a long struggle.

“Another example where freedom has come our way is where Nigerian Christians compelled Muslims to operate Christian financial system with its riba (interest) which is haram (forbidden) for Muslims, yet they refused to allow Muslims to practise the Islamic banking until a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi (now Emir of Kano), belled the cat by introducing Islamic banking.

“What exactly do I mean? Nigerian Christians have been enjoying everything they need since the British took over the country and colonised it. They have the Christian common law while they object to Muslims having Shariah. They enjoy Christo-Western education while they restrict Muslim children’s access to Islamic education. Christians are free to do whatever they like on Sundays but Muslims are chained to their workplaces on Fridays. That chain must break. Freedom is our cry.

“The government supports both Christian and Muslim pilgrimages. Christian and Muslim prayers are said at official functions. The preamble of the Nigerian Constitution leans heavily on God. So, we are a multi-religious nation. It is when Christian leaders want to pull the wool over our eyes that they claim that Nigeria is a secular country.

“We must widen the horizon of the quest for self-determination. They hold Christian court or church marriage whose certificate is recognised by law whereas mosque marriage certificate is not recognised. Christian schoolchildren use Christian school uniforms but Muslim children are disallowed from using the hijab. Muslim women are denied driving licences and international passports in Nigeria on account of their use of hijab.

“There is an urgent need to straighten this lopsided system. It is not working. Nigerian Muslims still remain oppressed today because they have yet to be emancipated in the four examples above. There are more areas of oppression. But there are one or two aspects where the Muslims have been liberated.

“So you can see that it is all about struggling for liberation. It is like a master-slave affair. Those who sit on the necks of Muslims are reluctant to set them free. But we will get there whether the oppressor likes it or not. It is interesting to note that Christians know that a Muslim commits a sin each time he collects or gives riba yet they never freely allowed it. What do you call that? Do we love our neighbours?

“Do you call that freedom of religion? Isn’t there some element of selfishness in that? Didn’t Jesus teach loving the neighbour? I remember that a particular bishop from the East led his followers in a public demonstration against the introduction of Islamic banking. Ridiculous, isn’t it?

“As for the claim that Muslims are being favoured by the present administration, that is large-scale falsehood. Even Nigerian toddlers know that Buhari is religion-blind. He is not a fanatic. He just wants to fix Nigeria.

“How has the present administration favoured Muslims? The facts are at our fingertips. Take the South-West as an example: there are six states there and each has a minister. Only Babatunde Fashola and Adebayo Shittu are Muslims. The rest are Christians. Let CAN tell us if that is not so. Do you call two out of six a favour? And that is just a tip of the iceberg in Buhari’s administration.

“The parastatals are replete with Christian chief executives. But Muslims are not complaining. Nigeria now has about 35 ministers out of which only 17 are Muslims. Tell me how the present administration has favoured Muslims. Is CAN using mathematics or mathemagic?

“Personally, I believe that we are cutting our nose to spite our face in this country. We should allow government to pick the best candidates for positions in order to get maximum performance. We should not always be thinking of religious or ethnic leaning. Muslims have tried as much as possible to maintain this principle but CAN is always making a noise because of its grip on the press,” Akintola noted.

We should fear God in our contribution, this man just said his opinion and comments so far have been war. Sincerely, if his proposition is granted (i.e. Friday becomes public holiday), would the benefits be for only moslem? Of course No, both Christian and Moslem will enjoy the work free day. Thus, we should not be biased in our comment and judgement. I wish to take a walk for now, thank you!
