Is there a "holy day" in Islam that is comparable to the sabbath in Judaism and Christianity? I tried looking on Wikipedia but couldn't find anything definite.

I don't think so, but then again I just don't know.

FRIDAY's
Very easy to remember.....Friday is the Holy day for Islam; Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath; and Sunday is the day of worship for Christians.

Friday is the Holy Day in Islam,on this day afternoon or Jumma prayers are held in a congregation in the mosques,like the Sunday mass.

Friday is the day for communal prayer in which moslems are called to pray communally for the noon-time prayer in Islam, the equivalent of the Jewish Sabbath prayers (which runs from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) and the Christian church-going on Sundays.

Yes, it's called Al-Jummuah, or the Friday prayer. Friday is the mandatory day for Muslims to gather and worship, just as Saturday is for Jews, and mainly Sundays for Christians. We also have two major holy days each year, and they are both called Eid. There is the first Eid (pronounced Eed), which is the last day of Ramadan, our holy month of fasting. Then there is the second Eid, called Eid Al-Adha, which is approximately two months later, and it is at the end of our Hajj, or pilgrimage, in Mecca.

Friday in a week is a holy day for Islam. Thats why all the muslim are call to go for Friday prayer in the afternoon after the salat zohor (the afternoon prayer)
it is a mini hari raya for the muslims..

O ye who believe! When the call is proclaimed to prayer on Friday (the Day of Assembly), hasten earnestly to the Remembrance of Allah, and leave off business (and traffic): That is best for you if ye but knew!
062.010
And when the Prayer is finished, then may ye disperse through the land, and seek of the Bounty of Allah: and celebrate the Praises of Allah often (and without stint): that ye may prosper.

i am muslim.
i donot know what is ''sabbath'' in christianity of judaism but in islam we have a holy day,this day is ''friday''
it is our holy day becoz we beleive that Allah/god created Adam in this day and we beleive that there is an hour in this day which Allah answer all the prays in it,this hour is th hour which Allah created Adam in it.
in this day men go tothe masjed to perform the Salat as usual and as they are using to do everyday 5 times but before praying the second pray which called''Dohr'' they listen to an islamic lecture.
i hope that this information may help u.

friday in Islam, saturday in Judaism and sunday in Christianity. any time when u have a congregation at home or place of worship, angels are also present along with us. on these days they say that all angels will be present and they pray with us in congregation, so all pray to God and ask for His mercy and forgiveness.

I don't think there is anything exactly similar to the Sabbath in Islam. Friday is a holy day in Islam where Muslims go for Jumma prayer.It is obligatory for men and optional for women to listen to the Khutba(sermon) and pray at a mosk for Jumma prayer.
