In fact Thabit was also born in Harran and would have still have been living there at the time that al-Battani was born. Al-Battani, unlike Thabit, was not a believer in the Sabian religion, however, for "Abu Abdallah Mohammad" indicates that he was certainly a Muslim.
Sa katunayan Thabit ay ipinanganak din sa Harran at nais pa rin ay nakatira doon sa oras na al-Battani ay ipinanganak. Al-Battani, hindi katulad Thabit, ay hindi naniniwala sa relihiyon Sabian, gayunpaman, para sa "Abu Abdallah Mohammad" ay nagpapahiwatig na siya ay tiyak ang isang Muslim.
