Is there something like Sabbath in Islam?
A day when no work is allowed? Jews have that, and observe it quite strictly.
Christians have it, but place it on Sunday instead of Saturday.
As far as I know, the "holy day" in Islam is on Friday, but I don't know of any restrictions to do work on Fridays.
The closest to Sabbath I can think of is Ramadan, but as far as I understand, work is not prohibited as such, only avoided due to the stress imposed by fasting.
Is my understanding correct? If not, what am I missing?

Looks like this is a difficult question, so I try to rephrase it: is there any time or calendar date in Islam where doing work is haram?

Again, this question has been misunderstood. The question is *not* if Muslims observe Shabbath, whether on Saturday or on Friday or on Sunday.
Obviously *NO*.
The question was if there is *any concept equal to Shabbath* and the accepted answer is "no, except for the times of obligatory prayers", where work cannot be done because the prayer requires all attention.
