Be Careful who you call a Kafir

by Fareena Alam

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"As to those who reject Faith, It is the same to them Whether thou warn them Or do not warn them; They will not believe." The Holy Quran, 02:06 Al Baqarah



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 sch 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 consequence of the rejection is that spiritual faculties become dead or impervious to better influence.



Be careful who you call Kafir because only Allah knows who is truly a rejector and who is merely a misguided person. It is not up to us to "sentence" a person to the Hellfire.


We must always maintain courtesy, diplomacy and a never-dying zeal to convey the message to others no matter how discouraging or useless it may seem - don't give up on a non-Muslim because most people are good people who simply need a break from the anti-Islamic propaganda around them.


The Fastest Way to Leave Islam


It is always safest to assume that a non-Muslim has been misguided, misinformed and fed lies and misconceptions about Islam and Muslims - don't jump to calling him a Kafir. Remove the name-calling from your articles and websites - wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry - name-calling, especially wrongly branding someone as 'evil', 'kafr' and 'manifestation of satan' - GHEEBAT - could entail dire consequences for us on Judgement Day.

Perhaps there is no faster way to leave Islam than by calling other Muslims "kafir" or "mushrik" without discrimination.

About calling other Muslims "kafir," we read the following hadith: It is reported on the authority of Ibn `Umar that the Prophet (may peace and blessings be upon him) said: Any person who calls his brother: O Unbeliever! (then the truth of this label) would return to one of them. If it is true, (then it is) as he asserted, (but if it is not true), then it returns to him (and thus the person who made the accusation is an Unbeliever). [Muslim]



Therefore, if you call other Muslims "kafir" or "mushrik" without discrimination, you could find that you have left Islam, according to the words of the Prophet (s.a.w.), in less than a second.


Waste no time debating what a good Muslim should be. Be one!


Guiding a Non-Muslim to Islam only possible by the Grace of God. Our job is to help others understand Islam - that is our basic duty. And only then inshaAllah, will non-Muslims move in the direction of becoming one of us. We must remain positive, open-minded and generous in our efforts to convey the true message.



You cannot encourage a non-Muslim to be understanding and open-minded if you yourself are hot-tempered and hurling accusations at him/her. No non-Muslim is going to respect you and it will certainly reflect badly on Islam if a Muslim, a representative of Islam, is narrow-minded.



I pray to Allah that we develop patience and sincerity in our efforts to bring about more tolerance in this world. Remember....every human being, regardless of whether he/she is born to Muslim or Non-Muslim parents, is born innocent and pure...it is society that influences him/her to stray from Islam and just as a person can stray, he/she can revert back and YOU can help this process.



We have a very important and sensitive role to play. We are the trusted Ummah of the Rasool (saw), a servant of God...it has been made our duty and our obligation to pass on the pure, unadulterated truth - make honest and full use of this honourable task.​
 
good message! Some people are so used to name calling, they don't think about their actions. Thanks for posting.
 
:sl:

Yes, I completely agree with you, sister.
People should be aware of this:

Be careful who you call Kafir because only Allah knows who is truly a rejector and who is merely a misguided person. It is not up to us to "sentence" a person to the Hellfire.

Excellent post sis
This is something we always hear, but we are living in a kafir country and those people that don't want to show manners to these people should find a non-kafir country to live in, only Allah knows maybe these "kafirs" will be guided to the haq, like I was, its funny because I was one a "kafir" too :sister:
 
:sl:

Subhanallah! Wonderful to hear that you found the path to Islam, sister. :happy: Mashallah! May Allah (swt) have mercy on you and may He also forgive your past sins. Amiin. :)

I agree calling other muslims kafirs is wrong but I don't see nothing calling a known non-muslim a kafir.

:sl: I agree to a point, to those Kafirs that are opressing the muslims go ahead call them what you like, i also have a few other words id love to call them, but ill keep that to myself, but we should not have a negative attitude to everyday people we are living in a western country, we should do so peacefuly , we should be giving these people dawah, only allah knows but maybe allah SWT has decreed these people to become muslim in the future :sl:
 
:sl:

the way i understand the issue is this: the word kafir implies DISBELIEF, and that the person is doomed to hell fire, theres no way they can become muslim. you say that you dont see whats wrong with calling non-muslims kafirs, well a lot of the non-muslims out there dont even have a clue about what islam really is.. so how are you to say they disbelieve, and that they are doomed to an eternity in hell fire? perhaps if they leanr about islam, about what it really is then they will recognise the truth and become muslim and hopefully be able to enter paradise inshaallah... but if they study islam in its true form and reject, then they become kafirun.

so its best not to use the word on anyone i think.

hope that makes sense :)

Kafir=disbeliever, and kafirs ain't doomed to hell fire, some of the sahaba were former kafirs, then they accepted islam. So anyone who doesn't believe in allah and his messenger is a kafir.
 
:sl: cheese , I agree, my mum always said its not nice to call anyone nasty words ( but she's a kafir) but i was once to a kafiir subhanallah, i hope you don't think im rude if i asked you wher you thought of a name like cheese from, i like cheese too but be careful rumour is theres a mouse running around the forums (just kidding sis ):sl: ;D ;D ;D
 
Salaam o alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

JazakAllahu Khairun sister!

This is something, among so many other things, that we have to remember.

Excellent post.

May Allah guide us and forgive us. Aameen.

Alaikum Salaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
