Which prophet is associated with the Sabbath and the Ascension?

Explanation

Hazrat Isa (A.S.) is uniquely associated with the Sabbath because he was sent to the Bani Israel, who were commanded to observe the Sabbath (Saturday) as a holy day. He is also associated with the Ascension (Rafa' or bodily raising to the heavens), as the Quran states that he was not crucified but rather raised up to Allah alive. This combination of Sabbath observance (in his prophetic mission to the Israelites) and his miraculous ascension makes him distinct among the prophets.

Good to know

The Quran mentions the Ascension of Hazrat Isa (A.S.) in Surah Al-Imran (3:55) and Surah An-Nisa (4:157-158), where Allah declares that Isa was neither killed nor crucified but was raised to Himself. The Sabbath was prescribed for the Children of Israel, and Hazrat Isa (A.S.) as a prophet to Bani Israel upheld the Torah's commandments while also bringing the Injil (Gospel). Islamic belief holds that Hazrat Isa (A.S.) will descend near the end of times to restore justice.
