His the kingdom of the Heavens and of the Earth. He maketh alive and killeth, and He hath power over all things. He is the first and the last, the seen and the unseen, and He knoweth all things." "Ameen," intoned the crowd. "The praise to Him who sent us Mahomet His Prophet to give the world the True Belief, and curses upon Shaitan the stoned who wages war upon Allah and His children." "Ameen."
"Now, Sîdi Aïsa" turning to one of the musicians, whom he motions to cease their din "what do you think happens to the man who puts a coin in there?
