Pearl of Wisdom
when reprimanding his companions said, 'How long should I continue to be amicable with you the way one is amicable with camels with a wounded hump, or to worn clothes which when stitched on one side give way on the other... and verily I know what can improve you and how to straighten your crookedness, but I shall not improve your condition by marring myself.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 69

Sorcery and Temptation |
|
From the Quran, we learn that sorcery is a temptation. It is in the same verse that these two words are used for the first time. (The Cow, 102) In this verse, the relationship between these words is clear. These words and their derivatives are used 60 times each. The verse in which they are used for the first time as follows: 102- …Solomon, however was not a disbeliever, while the devils were disbelievers. Thus, they taught the people sorcery that was sent down through the two angels of Babel, Harut and Marut, who however never taught it without saying: ”We are only a temptation. Be not then a disbeliever”… 2. The Cow, 102 The word | Number of occurrence | Sorcery | 60 | Temptation | 60 |
