THIRD REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 14th day of Shawwaal (Thursday 28th June). KUFUR (DISBELIEF) AND ITS VARIOUS FORMS. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. Let's continue from the first and second Reminder; The kufr of turning away in arrogance, such as the kufr of Iblees of whom Allah says: “… except Iblees (Satan), he refused and was proud and was one of the disbelievers (disobedient to Allah)” [Al-Baqarah 2:34]. And Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “They (hypocrites) say: ‘We have believed in Allah and in the Messenger (Muhammad), and we obey,’ then a party of them turn away thereafter, such are not believers” [An-Noor 24:47]. So Allah has stated that those who do not act in accordance with faith are not believers, even if they utter the words of faith. The kufr of turning away means that one ignores the truth and does not learn it or act in accordance with it, whether it is the matter of words, actions or beliefs. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “....But those who disbelieve, turn away from that whereof they are warned” [Al-Ahqaaf 46:3]. Whoever turns away verbally from that which the Messenger has brought is like one who says “I will not follow him.” The one who turns away by his actions is like one who runs away from hearing the truth which he brought, or puts his fingers in his ears so as not to hear, or who hears it but turns away in his heart and refuses to believe, and who refuses to act upon it. He has disbelieved in the sense of the kufr of turning away. There are many other various types that this medium cannot handle as such I would advise that we strive to study our faith well not just following blindly. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
