"Whoever acquires a branch of the knowledge of astrology acquires a branch of magic, of which he acquires more as long as he continues to do so." "What stands between a man and polytheism and disbelief is the abandonment of the prayers." "The covenant between us and them is prayer; so, whoever abandons it has disbelieved."
