Quick fact: The events of Sabbath and Mount Sinai are associated with Prophet Musa (A.S.).

Explanation

The Sabbath (Saturday) was designated as a holy day of rest and worship for the Bani Israel, and its violation was a major test during the time of Prophet Musa (A.S.). Mount Sinai (Jabal-e-Toor) is where Allah spoke directly to Prophet Musa (A.S.) and revealed the Torah (Taurat), making both events central to his prophethood. These two landmarks are repeatedly mentioned in the Quran in connection with Musa (A.S.) and his people.

Good to know

The Quran mentions the Sabbath in Surah Al-A'raf (7:163) where a community of Bani Israel violated it by fishing on Saturday and were transformed into apes as punishment. Mount Sinai is mentioned in Surah At-Tur (52:1) and Surah Al-Mu'minun (23:20), where Allah took the covenant from the Children of Israel. Prophet Musa (A.S.) is the most frequently mentioned prophet in the Quran, appearing in over 130 verses.
