Quote #4
What sins was he being punished for in such a manner as this? He pleaded to Allah for an answer. (34.6)
When he's first enslaved, Kunta desperately tries to find some reason behind it, some grave religious sin he committed that earned him such brutal punishment. But he finds none, which tests his faith harder than it's ever been tested before.
Quote #5
Kunta was deeply shaken. The shocked realization that he lay with a pagan burned into his brain. (37.18)
To be fair, Kunta has little fondness for the paganism of some of his African peers. After he makes it to America, however, he'll have his ability to deal with people of other religions tested even more.
Quote #6
Back in his hut, Kunta kneeled and touched his forehead to the hard dirt floor in the direction in which he knew the next sun would rise. (44.21)
After being brought to America, Kunta feels a great deal of comfort taking part in the simple rituals he took for granted when he was home in Juffure. They might've been a nuisance back then, but now they're a lifeline to a place and time he may never get back.
