The Catholic creation story, based on the Book of Genesis, depicts God creating the world in six days and resting on the seventh day. In contrast, the Islamic creation story, outlined in the Quran, emphasizes that Allah created the universe in six days as well but doesn't specify that He rested on the seventh day. Additionally, there are differing details in terms of the creation of Adam and Eve and their roles in each tradition's story.
What is the biblical reference for the number seven?
God chooses the number seven to be the only perfect number. There are seven days in the creation of the universe. The seventh day was one to rest and take in the joy of what has been created. (The book of Genesis) The number seven in both New and Old Testaments means the same as perfection. This comes from the creation story which is put into a seven day framework to emphasize the perfection of God's creation and the most perfect day of the week was the seventh day, the Sabbath. Throughout the Bible, there will be examples of the number 7 used this same way. In the new testament, one of the apostles asks Jesus if he has to forgive his brother 7 times and Jesus answers: I say seventy times seven times. This would mean an infinite number.

How is the Muslims holy day different from the Christians day of rest?
This Muslims holiday is not to be understood as the day in which God took rest after the six day of universe creation. It is believed by Muslims, and according to the Koran holy book sayings, that God (Allah) do not need to rest after any act of creation. Every thing created by God is by the word 'be' then 'it is'. By this Word Adam was created and by this Word Jesus (peace upon him) was created in the womb of the Virgin Mary (Maryam). The Muslims holiday is Friday. It is called in Arabic 'Al-Gomaaa' that means 'the gathering'. In this day, Muslims gather in the Mosque for the noon prayer "called Al-Gomaa prayer" and to listen to the sermon delivered by the Mosque leader, called Imam. Muslims are allowed to work before and/or after the prayer . They allowed to do all activities as on any other normal day.
