I receive, as I receive many, messages on WhatsApp every Friday, sometimes congratulating and sometimes praying…and when you have a large number of acquaintances, friends, and those registered on your phone list, these messages become dozens, and sometimes hundreds… These are messages that were not written by their sender, but rather are transmitted. They are sent as they came to him from someone else, that is, they are impersonal messages, and do not require a response, but they require one to stop at the idea of sending a message that you did not write, to someone who will not read it, every Friday, as if his circumstances were being repeated, so what is the significance and benefit of that!! \u200f
\nIn my dialogue with young people, I discussed this issue with them, and we touched on a more important topic, which is the repetition of \u201cshared posts\u201d without verifying their authority and truthfulness. We participate in spreading false news sometimes, and we may be unintentionally supporting a large network of misinformation created by those who want to spread negative energy in society. .
\nAll I ask is to verify before publishing any post for every list on your phone without knowing its origin and origin.. Science, intelligence, and awareness say so..
\nWe must ensure the authority of posts that sometimes not only publish false news, but also intentionally distort statements, and add false pictures, to create complete stories far from the truth with the aim of…
\nA young dreamer woman said: I think that Friday \u201cposts\u201d that are sent without thinking have become part of society\u2019s behavior and evidence of its condemnation. Is there a spiritual value for Friday for Muslims, Saturday for Jews, and Sunday for Christians? What is the origin of the story? What is the relationship between religion and days?
\nI said: I think it is a circumstantial, organizational relationship, not a divine one. She added: I have finished reading the book \u201cMy Own Universe\u201d by James Bailey, followed by the book \u201cPhysics of the Future\u201d by Mikio Kaku, and the book \u201cThe Elegant Universe.\u201d By Brian Greene, and a summary of Stephen Hawkins\u2019 book \u201cBrief Answers to the Big Questions.\u201d I became confused about time and what we take for granted on Earth, which is relative to the universe, so I began researching the expansion and contraction of time and its relationship. The speed of light and gravity, all of which began as scientific theories proven by astronomical discoveries and mathematical equations.. \u200f
\nAnd when I looked at the dozens of messages from friends and those I did not know, with \u201cposts\u201d that they often did not read, but rather forwarded to everyone on their phone, as I explained, about sanctifying supplication at a specific hour or day because God responds to the supplicant more than at other times, I asked myself. About the importance of today, any day, and why people think that a day is very relative to the inhabitants of planet Earth from its north to the south pole, and the most relative between a day on Earth in the first place and a day on Mars or Saturn, let alone a day on a planet in another galaxy, and I wanted to share with you in thinking outside of what it is. Local (in this case the local is the Earth) to what is global
\nAnother young woman said: Explain to us more…
\nI said: I invite you to think, to arrive at explanations worth considering.. If Einstein\u2019s theory of relativity has proven the possibility of changing time and its relationship to space and speed, and that by increasing the speed to near the speed of light, time shrinks and mass diminishes, and upon reaching the speed of light, matter ceases and time stops, then I I can understand things that were said and I am required to believe them out of faith and not out of using the mind..
\nAnother young man said: What’s the matter, doctor? What does this have to do with hundreds of Friday congratulations on social media?! \u200f
\nI said: I see the relativity of time and I think about some verses of the Qur\u2019an, and the following verses stopped me:
\n(And indeed, one day with your Lord is like a thousand years of what you count.)
\n(He directs the matter from the heaven to the earth, then it ascends to Him in a day whose equivalent is a thousand years of what you can count.)
\n(The angels and the Spirit ascend to Him on a day whose duration is fifty thousand years)
\n(So God caused him to die for a hundred years, then resurrected him. He said, \u201cHow long did you stay?\u201d He said, \u201cYou stayed for a day or part of a day.\u201d He said, \u201cRather, you stayed for a hundred years.\u201d) ).
\nI added: My new book, \u201cDare to Think,\u201d which was published a few days ago by Dar Al Maaref, discusses many similar topics, to increase knowledge and differentiate between what is human and what is divine..
\nScience is beautiful, and questioning is the origin of knowledge. \u200f
\nAs for those who wanted to consider that the mind took a leave of absence after the first two interpretations of what I am reading now after more than a thousand years, and that faith in believing what has no proof is the path to God, I say to them that God gave us the mind to contemplate, think, and strive with the knowledge with which He began His book. What distinguishes us from the rest of creation is this awareness of God\u2019s blessing upon us
\n\u200e\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u200e
\nThe first young man said: We return to the days of the week. What is their source?
\nI said: In many cultures, the names given to the days of the week were derived from the names of the classical planets in Hellenistic astronomy, which in turn were named after the contemporary gods of that time in the minds of humans, a system introduced by the Sumerians and later adopted by the Babylonians. The Roman Empire adopted it during ancient times, and the seven-day week was adopted in early Christianity based on the Hebrew calendar, and Saturday remained the seventh day, which is sacred to the Jews, and Sunday to the Christians. The Babylonians had named these days by the names of the planets known to them, and their number was five, and they designated the sixth day to the moon and the seventh day to the sun.
\nDiana as the moon for Monday, Mars for Tuesday, Mercury for Wednesday, Jupiter for Thursday, Venus for Friday, Saturn for Saturday, and Apollo as the sun for Sunday. \u200f
\nAfter that, a second stage came among the Arabs, in which they followed the rest of the peoples and adopted the use of the seven-day week, and they did not count the weeks before that.
\n.
\nIn the third stage, the days of the week were named by their known names today, which are (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday). The names from Sunday to Thursday are divided from the same number, the first, the second to the fifth, and Sunday was the first of them. As for the origin of the name Friday, it goes back to gathering and gathering for the purpose of prayer or something else. Then the Qur\u2019an came to establish a day for the group to meet and pray together..
\nSo, in Latin and English, the days of the week are named after celestial bodies, and at other times after some legendary figures in ancient history.
\n\u200e________________\u200e
\nBecause the English language depends on the ancient Greek, Latin, and Germanic languages, these influences can be seen in their naming of the days of the week.
\nThen I said: They are all just names that reflect the cultures of different times. The week did not exist and then it existed. It was five days and became seven. The days were given different names related to the culture of their time, but in the end they are human creativity that has its own history and respect.
\nSome people think, and sometimes believe, that repeating the names of days or their dates in weeks and months has a religious significance, as if time is repeating, as if the events and the location of the day and month return as they were at a previous moment, which is not the case, considering the movement of the Earth around the sun and the group of solar planets, and the rotation of the entire solar system. Around something else, and everyone moves and travels through the universe, returning to the same cosmic situation on the same day, month, or earthly year is impossible.
\nBy the same logic, the Creator who is close to us, near our jugular vein, has no timetable for listening to our prayers, and all the weekly and daily divisions are regulatory for human lives and not for God, because God Almighty exists at all times, in every place, and at every time. \u200f
\nBut from another rational logic as well, supplication is the release of positive energy towards something good towards those we love, and if we set a time in which supplication is made collectively for a group of people, the effect of this energy will increase.
\nThe cheering of the fans on a football field for a team creates a collective energy that changes the chemistry of the players and makes them more capable. This is the secret of the famous saying that the earth plays with its owners, and perhaps the unification of supplication at one time from some people or at the time of group prayer for Muslims on Friday, for Jews on Saturday, and for Christians. On Sunday, the goal is to create collective energy towards goodness from a group of people, and God knows best. \u200f<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court.

He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hossambadrawi\/","https:\/\/x.com\/HossamBadrawi"]}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11381","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11381"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11381\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11383,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11381\/revisions\/11383"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11381"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11381"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hossambadrawi.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11381"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
