Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Quick Look in the Holy Book Is Resting Being One of God’s Traits? In the Old Testament, in the Book of Genesis, Chapter 2, Verse 2, the following is written: "By the seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing so on the seventh day he rested from all his work." All are in agreement; God, His Prophet and all of God's wise creatures know that the word "rest" implies getting tired.
This trait is a characteristic of the mortal creatures, existing and depending on God. God is the Creator, existing by Himself. Nothing tires Him, whether large or small; and if God wanted to do anything, he would say, "Be", and it would be. So, it is not wise to give this characteristic to Almighty God, otherwise, He would be the same as His creatures—needful, and in order to carry out jobs, he would require tools and machinery and would have to work and use energy. Almighty God is the Creator.
It is not smart to say that He rested on the seventh day, as in the Old Testament. Another point that we should mention is that it is impossible for the Almighty Lord to tire, or for His state to change because if God were to change, it would suggest that in some way He is in fact incomplete, imperfect. Therefore, if you believe in the Perfection of God, prove to yourself that the rest is wrong, that this section of the Old Testament contradicts God's Holiness.
God the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, has no need for rest. To rest is the trait of a creature that is weak and we must not doubt that a thing that contradicts God's Holiness cannot be a statement from God Himself. This, therefore, cannot be Inspiration. The Old Testament is Ignorant about Geography In Genesis 2:10-14, we have this account: 10. A river watering the garden flowed from Eden, and from there it divided; it had four headstreams. 11.
The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12. (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin and onyx are also there.) 13. The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush. 14. The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Asshur.
And the fourth river is the Euphrates." It is obvious for anyone who knows some geography that there is no city of Eden except in Yemen on Boghas Bab Al Mandeb.
