One of the most important researches in the field of religions is to study their common points. The day of God is one of the common concepts mentioned in the three holy books, namely the Holy Bible and the Holy Qur'an. Perhaps the question arises for the believers that is there a day that is not the day of God? Is God's power limited? Are God's days limited? This article answers these questions. God's days are days that have special characteristics such as devoting that day to the worship of the Lord, giving up work, the day of punishment of the wicked and the salvation of the righteous, the day of Christ's return and the day of Judgment. In these three spiritual books, people have been told many times to prepare for God’s Day. Strive for salvation in that day because when that day suddenly happens then you can do nothing. In this article, all the texts of the Bible and the Qur'an have been examined and the issues related to the day of God have been interpreted thematically. The uses and examples of God’s Day are compared in the Bible and the Qur'an.
