(forgive my lack of correct terminology, I am still learning a lot about this religion) I thought rituals, superstitions etc. are condemned. And there are rituals one is suppose to perform daily and otherwise? (For example: you are not suppose to fast, pilgrimage but you are suppose to recite daily prayers?)
