What Are The Things That Make a Muslim a Kaffir?

[Ansar Al-'Adl]

i've read that there are muslims who reject the ahadees and follow only the qur'an. are they still muslims (tho they may be bad muslims) or are they kafirs?

Many of them are simply misinformed and they don't know any better. Some of them have wilfully closed their minds and do not wish to learn at all about the hadith or the sunnah, and such people are the ones who are commiting disbelief. However, we have to be extremely careful in declaring the disbelief of others; we have to try to find as many excuses as possible to excuse the other person.

are muslims who readily takfir sinning by doing so, since it is such a serious accusation?

Not only is it a major sin, but it could actually become disbelief; please see:

my little contribution over this thread, the point to understand is that it is the Hadith that tells that this is the ayah of Quran which is revealed and this is not. if one reject hadith, then wats the point for them to accept Quran, this is self contradictory, which is prevalent in all deviated sects.

Almighty Allah's Glorious and Final Revealed book, the Qur'an is collection of "Mutawatir" Hadith. In the era of Khulfah Raashideen, upon their command, the Sahabah (companions of prophet) had collected all the ayah of Quran in a book form. In the time of prophet Muhammad Sallallahu Alayhi wa sallam it was written in clothes, stones leathers, etc carried by different sahabas.


therefore, the scholars of Islam fatwa regarding the "hadith rejector" group is:


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

Primarily, there are two types of Ahaadith; Mutawaatir and Ahad.

Mutawatir Ahaadith are narrated by innumerable number of narrators. It is
impossible that such a large number of people will unite on speaking a lie.
It is similar to a verse of the Qur'aan in its authenticity. To reject a
Hadith Mutawaatir is Kufr. To reject Hadith Aahaad (which has many branches
in relation to the standard of its authenticity) is Fisq (transgression).

Alaikumassalam,

This is my basic position; and in it, it need to be expressed that I am no scholar of Qur'an and ahadith, (Bear in mind that as an Australian Aborigine, although I am now well educated in English usage, I am also of a genetic inheritance that was without literacy until the English showed up and broke our communities apart and gave us the Bible for comfort, in which we found most of us live more truly than most of those whom gave it to us.) . . .

Kafir is when we so much as temporarily imagine that we are not in need of being held to account for every single instance of sin which so much as crossed out mind. That is why money is so insistant at being causal to Kafir. But in Islam we accept our money within a specific certainty of Allah. Yet in every instance of spending money, or seeking to obtain money so as to spend it, if we are not holding ourselves to account in total in Allah, then kafir result. I am not familiar with the Arabic scholarship in English translations and probably should become so familiar to engage properly in such discussions. But as it has been here in Australia in the long past, I have heard Qur'an in Arabic, and so can live in accord with. This then is just perhaps an oversimplified comprehension of what accords kafir. But truly money is frightening stuff.

Wasalam

wow! i had no idea that this was so complex! i was expecting a short list of specific sins that would make a muslim a kafir.
i can't imagine why some say that the beauty of islam is in its simplicity. the more i learn, the more complicated it seems to me. interesting, tho.
thanks for your reply.

sadly that is the case now ...many people have made Islam soooooo complicated and it isnt like that all....basically if someone disbelieves in the Qur'an he cannot be termed a Muslim at all.

I should add to having stated that money makes kafir that among Australians, some Aboriginal and others just within Aboriginal belief structure; it is regarded that best is for any kafir to manifest in mind as resemblence of animals. That is how to simultaneously manage the flora and fauna, and prevent any Human kafir. The only catch is that it is a system that is only fully functional (in that all kafir can be prevented) when every persons equitably regards that hereafter they will experience the fire of existing within and animal, or a bird, form. (or insect or tree or . . . )

An example then: Black cats are the symbol of that Kafir caused in formation by The Dajjal having portrayed himself wrongly as a cat person: but the catch is that it is only for kafir of words claiming cat self in also asserting righteousness of a Soul Ancient of Day to rule above any decision of any Soul Lesser of Year, no matter what the relative worth of the actual decisions. Therefore a kafir that is of a person who regards themself among Ancient of Day, imagining that they need not accept an account against them because they only slighted a person whom regards themself as Lesser of Year, and that incorporates presentation as though a cat type of body (born on a cat story ley line) when actually another (dolphin in the case of The Dajjal actually seems to manifest cats with white patches) sort of person with a different story; then that kafir in mind should adopt the appearance of a black cat.
