Types of Kufr (Disbelief) — Adapted from 'Tafseer ibn Katheer'

 

1. Kufrul-'Inaad: Disbelief out of stubbornness. This applies to

someone who knows the truth and admits to knowing the truth and

admits to knowing it with his tongue, but refuses to accept it and

refrains from making a declaration.;

2. Kufrul-Inkaar: Disbelief out of denial. This applies to someone

who denies with both heart and tongue;

3. Kufrul-Kibr: Disbelief out of arrogance and pride;

4. Kufrul-Juhood: Disbelief out of rejection. This applies to someone

who acknowledges the truth in his heart, but rejects it with his

tongue. This types of kufr is applicable to those who call themselves

Muslims but who reject the norms of Islam.

5. Kufrul-Nifaaq: Disbelief out of hypocrisy. This applies to someone

who pretends to be a believer but conceals his disbelief. Such a

person is called a Munafiq or hypocrite;

6. Kufrul-Kurh: Disbelief out of detesting any of Allah's commands;

7. Kufrul-Istihzaha: Disbelief due to mockery and derision;

8. Kufrul-I'raadh: Disbelief due to avoidance. This applies to those

who turn away and avoid the truth;

 

In Maulana Mohammad Ali's monumental work " The Religion of Islam "

Kufr is defined by most commentators of the Holy Quran as 'denial of

the truth'. The Qur'an also uses the word kufr to denote a person who

covers up or hides the truth, or one who refuses to accept the

authority of Allah.

 

In Abdullah Yusuf Ali's commentary Kufr, Kafara, Kafir, and

derivative forms of the word, imply a deliberate rejection of Faith

as opposed to a mistaken idea of Allah or faith, which is not

consistent with an earnest desire to see the truth. Where there is

such desire, the Grace and Mercy of Allah gives guidance. But that

guidance is not efficacious when it is deliberately rejected, and the

possibility of rejection follows from the grant of free will. " The

culmination of Allah's Revelation is in the Qur'an, which confirms

previous scriptures, corrects the errors which men introduced into

them, and explains many points in detail for all who seek right

worship and service to Allah—whether they inherit the previous Books

or not. It is a universal Message … The worst and most hardened

sinner is the man to whom Allah's Signs are actually brought home and

who yet prefers Evil and turns away from the Light of Allah. The

Signs may be in the words and guidance of a great Teacher or in some

sorrow or warning, but from which he deliberately refuses to profit.

The penalty—the Nemesis—must necessary come eventually. "

 

According to Ibn Taymiyah (January 22, 1263 – 1328) " not believing in

God and His Messenger, whether that is accompanied by denial or it is

not accompanied by denial but rather doubt, or turning away from

faith out of jealousy or arrogance, or because one is following whims

and desires that prevent one from following the message. So kufr is

the attribute of everyone who rejects something that God has

commanded us to believe in, after news of that has reached him,

whether he rejects it in his heart without uttering it, or he speaks

those words of rejection without believing it in his heart, or he

does both; or he does an action which is described in the texts as

putting one beyond the pale of faith. "

 

Most of the Al-Kufr ul Akbar (major disbeliefs) are applicable to the

rejection or disbelief of Allah's (SWT) Sure Signs and surahs

upholding the collection, promulgation, recital, explanation and

warning of the following:

 

i) His Call to witness the Resurrection;

ii) His Call to witness His self-reproaching Spirit (Ruh);

iii) Al Naba (The Great News);

iv) Al Qariah (The Night of Power and Destiny);

 

So kaffir (non-believer) here is specifically applied to all, both

Muslim and non-Muslim, who reject the Call that God has commanded us

to believe in after news of the Great News has reached us. The Qur'an

clearly warns that many will disbelief, even mock, the Great News and

Sure Signs of Al-Qiyamah. So be forewarned, and in the Hereafter

never deny the deliverance of this warning! And never forget this

eschatological fulfillment and reminder of the glorious Holy Qur'an:

" O ye assembly of Jinns and men! came there not unto you messengers

from amongst you, setting forth unto you My signs, and warning you of

the meeting of this Day of yours? " Qur'an 6.130
