THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 10th day of Safar. (Saturday, 18th of September 2021). CAN A MUSLIM FALL INTO KUFUR AND BECOME A KAAFIR? BismilLah. 

This is a serious and dangerous issue so let's find out from the Quran and monitor our actions so that we don't die as non Muslims without knowing. Remember that sheitan main agenda is to deviate us from our belief into disbelief. 

kaafir literally means someone who covers. But it is commonly understood to mean disbeliever.

A disbeliever is called a kaafir because he covers the truth in his heart with rejection. In the Quran, ALLAH refers to farmers as kuffar because they cover the seeds with soil so that they grow. ALLAH says:

كَمَثَلِ غَيْثٍ أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ ثُمَّ يَهِيجُ فَتَرَاهُ مُصْفَرًّا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ حُطَامًا

[Quran 57:20]

Like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris.

The word kaafir is mostly used in the Quran to mean a disbeliever who covers the truth which comes from ALLAH. And it is of two categories: Major and minor kufr (disbelief).

Major Kufr

This form of disbelief is the greatest one because it takes the person out of the fold of Islam and makes him among those who are forever in the Hellfire. May ALLAH save us from that, Aameen!

Some of these forms of kufr are:

To lie on Allah

This can be to deny ALLAH totally, deny the truth that comes from HIM or even to invent lies and affiliate them to ALLAH. He says:

وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرَىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبًا أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُ ۚ أَلَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوًى لِّلْكَافِرِينَ

[Quran 29:68]

And who is more unjust than one who invents a lie about ALLAH or denies the truth when it has come to him? Is there not in Hell a [sufficient] residence for the disbelievers? Astaqfirullah. To be continued tomorrow in shaa ALLAH. May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences Aameen you dear.
