Mr.Jai Hindutva India. Thank you for your email. My friend there is no need to get disappointed. I am pleased to provide you the definition of the Kaafir and if you have any further question please do not hesitate to contact me, I am delighted to serve you. Your comments;
“I read
your mail twice, I cannot agree to everything,but yes Muslims on these
groups have disappointed me,They have all failed to answer "what is
Kafir",And that bad for them as I will join VHP now.” DEFINITION OF KUFR
The part of an
expression, Yah Aiuhallazeena Kafaroo Kufr, the verb, is also an antonym of Shukur, which, means to be very productive and capable of generating excellent results in any field of action; it may be farming, tending a herd of sheep, looking deep into space and discovering new worlds, searching the oceans, or producing all kinds of useful products for the well being of the entire human race. From here comes the expression kufraan-e-Na’amat, a derivative of Kufr, which means hiding ample bounties of nature from others or to maintain a monopoly over the goods and products required by all human beings. This is also called hoarding. Additionally, kaafir is also defined as an act, which covers the ill effects of something gone awry. Right from here come the substance Kafoor [camphor], which is used to cover the bad odors at various places, especially the washrooms. The deodorants for personal use or homes fall in the same category. It is, therefore, imperative to have a clear understanding of Eemaan and Kufr, usually understood as belief or disbelief. These terms are not restricted only to the mental calisthenics, but do have practical applications in the real life. The most pertinent and lucid concept of Eemaan, therefore, is to willingly [without any coercion] accept the code of the Qur’an, as the best body of law in the entire universe and consistently strive to one’s ultimate ability, for its implementation with the purpose of benefiting the total life on this planet. Kufr is just the opposite of this definition of Eemaan, but it does not constitute any offence. It’s just a matter of understanding or perception. A befitting example is that of an organization; some people become its members, whereas others don’t, but the non-members are, definitely, not doing anything against the law. The people who accept Islam become Muslims, and the others remain Non- Muslims; but every non-Muslim is not a Kaafir. In fact, Kaafir is a person, who receives the message of the Qur’an, understands it, but still rejects it [47:32]. They have the right to do so. Others may call it denial of truth. Its conceptual offshoots include hording of eatables or other goods that are essential for human consumption and Allah has produced them on a massive scale for every one to enjoy. According to the Arabic lexicon following persons fall in the category Kafreen?
1- A warrior in full armor is a Kaafir, as he hides his body with it. 2- Darkness is also kaafir, as it covers everything in its envelope. 3- Dark clouds are Kaafir too, as they hide the sky from view. 4- A river or an ocean is a kaafir as well, as it shields every thing sitting at its bed. 5- A farmer is another kaafir, who conceals the seeds under the soil. 6- A grave is known as al-kafro, for it covers the dead body.
Therefore, the term kaafir does not mean that all the non Muslims are Kaafirs. In the light of the Qur’anic constitution the Kaafir is that Muslim[not- non Muslim] who covers the truthful laws of the Quran with man made falsehood and in general Kaafir is that persona who conceals the universal truth with mendacity. Best Regards. Akhtar Sherazi Student of the Quran When the era of economic inequalities will be replaced by the Qur’anic balanced socio- economic system then at that time the Qur’anic social order with all its nourishment forces, arrayed rank upon rank will be established on the earth.[89:22] |

requires
in-depth understanding form the standpoint of the Qur,an. The term
Kaafir has roots Kaf, Fa and Ra. It identifies
a person, who intentionally makes an all out effort to hide
tangible materials or intangible realities. In addition, efforts are
made to substitute the truth with untruth.
