## Resource

In this powerful lecture, we explore the true meaning of the Sabbath as the sign of the divine covenant — a commandment given to Moses and preserved across generations. The Sabbath is not merely a day of rest, but a symbol of liberation, obedience, and the supremacy of God over all forms of tyranny. From the time of the Exodus, when the Israelites were freed from Pharaoh, the Sabbath has represented a weekly return to God’s authority — a rejection of worldly control and a remembrance of divine freedom. But does the Sabbath end with the Children of Israel… or does it continue? What was its place in Islam? And what did the Ahlulbayt say about this sacred day? This presentation challenges conventional assumptions and invites viewers to reconsider the Sabbath not as an outdated law, but as a living sign of faith, identity, and allegiance to God.
