Examples
of kufr
that is widespread in our societies today:
1 -
Denying
the existence of Allah and the message of the Prophet Muhammad, may the peace
and blessings of Allah be upon him.
2 -
Worshipping the presidents, chiefs, bogus authority, leaders, scholars, sheiks
and guides by obedience to them when they permit that which Allah has prohibited
and prohibit that which Allah has made permissible.
Allah
azza wa jalla says:
They
(Jews and Christians) took their rabbis and their monks to be their lords
besides Allah (by obeying them in things which they made lawful or unlawful
according to their own desires without being ordered by Allah), and (they
also took as their Lord) Messiah, son of Maryam, while
they (Jews and
Christians) were commanded [in the Taurat and the Injeel ]
to worship
none but One Ilah (Allah) - (none has the right to be worshipped but
Him.) Praise and glory be to Him, (far above is He)
from having the
partners they associate (with Him). (9:31)
It
is narrated from Adiyy ibn Hatim, when he heard the Prophet reciting this verse (9:31)
he said to him: ‘‘So I said to him:
“We
do not worship them”, The Prophet said:
“Do
they not prohibit what Allah has permitted (made lawful) then you
prohibit it and they permit (make lawful) what Allah has prohibited then
you permit it.’’
I
said: ‘‘Indeed’’, so he said:
‘‘That
is worship of them.’’ (Ahmad, Tirmidhi)
3 -
Cursing, swearing and mocking Allah, His messenger, Islam and the Quran.
Allah
azza wa jalla says:
The
hypocrites fear lest a Surah (chapter of the Qur’an) should be revealed
about them, showing them what is in their hearts. Say: “(Go ahead and)
mock! But certainly Allah will bring to light all that you fear.”
If
you ask them (about this), they declare: “We were only talking idly and
joking.” Say: “Was it at Allah, and His verses, and His Messenger that you
were mocking?”
Make
no excuse; you have disbelieved after you had believed… (9:64-66)
4 -
Seeking
judgment from the taghut, which is every law, court and ruling system other than
the law, court and, ruling system of Allah, like the contemporary law systems
and ignorant customs.
Have
you not seen those (hypocrites) who claim that they believe in that which
has been sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and they
wish to go for judgment (in their disputes) to the Taghut while they have
been ordered to reject them. But Shaitaan wishes to lead them far astray. (4:
60)
5 -
Ruling
by other than what Allah revealed.
Allah
azza wa jalla says:
…And
whosoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, such are disbelievers.
(5:44)
6 -
To learn, teach and practice magic or being contented and pleased with it and to
believe in it.
Allah
ta’ala says:
They
followed what the Shayatin gave out (falsely of the magic) in the
lifetime of Sulaiman (Solomon). Sulaiman did not disbelieve, but the
Shayatin disbelieved, teaching mankind magic and such things that came down at (Babel)
Babylon to the two angels, Harut and Marut, but neither of these two (angels)
taught anyone (such things) till they had said, “We are only for trial,
so disbelieve not (by working this magic).” And from these (angels)
people learn that by which they cause separation between man and his wife, but
they could not thus harm anyone except by Allah’s Leave. And they learn that
which harms them and profits them not. And indeed they knew that the buyers of
it (magic) would have no share in the Hereafter. And how bad indeed was
that for which they sold their ownselves, if they but knew. (2:102)
7 -
Loyalty
and love for the disbelievers, helping and supporting them, strengthening them
and joining their groups, congregations, assemblies and their secularist,
nationalist, capitalist or communist organizations.
Allah
ta’ala says:
Let
not the believers take the disbelievers as Auliya (supporters, helpers,
etc.) instead of the believers, and whoever does that will never be helped by
Allah in any way, unless you indeed fear a danger from them. And Allah warns you
against Himself (His Punishment), and to Allah is the final return.”
(3:28)
Allah
also says:
O
you who believe! Take not for Auliya’ (protectors or helpers or friends)
disbelievers instead of believers. Do you wish to offer Allah a manifest proof
against yourselves? (4:144)
Allah
jalla wa ‘alaa says:
Verily,
your Wali (protector or helper) is none other than Allah, His messenger
and the believers, those who pray, give zakaat and they are Raki’un (those
who bow down or submit themselves with obedience to Allah in prayer). And
whosoever takes Allah, His messenger and those who have believed as Protectors,
then the party of Allah will be the victorious. O you who believe! Take not as
Auliya’ (protectors and helpers) those who take your religion as a
mockery and fun from among those who received the Scripture before you, and nor
from among the disbelievers; and fear Allah if you indeed are true believers.
(5:55-57)
If a
person undertakes one of these (kufr) acts of disbelief he leaves the fold of
Islam even if he repeated Laa ilaha illa Allah a thousand times in the day,
prayed a 100 rakaats, fasted long days and went for jihad and other such
examples of obedience except if one repents and leaves off and frees himself
from that with which he disbelieved.
