Q19. Why do Muslims abuse non-Muslims by calling them ‘Kafirs’?

NON-MUSLIMS REFERRED AS ‘KAFIRS’

Question:

Why do Muslims abuse non-Muslims by calling them ‘Kafirs’?

Answer:

‘Kafir’ means one who rejects.

‘Kafir’ is derived from the word ‘kufr’, which means to conceal or to reject. In Islamic terminology, ‘Kafir’ means one who conceals or rejects the truth of Islam and a person who rejects Islam is in English called a ‘non-Muslim’.

If non-Muslims are hurt – they should accept Islam.

If any non-Muslim considers the word ‘Kafir’ i.e. ‘non-Muslim’ as an abuse, he may choose to accept Islam and then we will stop referring to him as or call him a kafir i.e. a non-Muslim.

    Fair enough…Kafir is just a word…If we are upset, we should become muslims….really? How about Child Molestor for Muhammad> And GULLIBLE fools for the rest of you? That seems fair. I’m happy to be a kafir, because you muslims come crying to the secular/kafirs for aid when the other religious crazies “Jews” are kicking your head in!… so be glad we are here to save you when god doesn’t.
    Thank HUMANITY or Palestine would be a burnt out pit. But for secular efforts to bring aid,half the African muslims would rot… where’s Allah now?…
    secular efforts to protest…secularism keeps islam alive NOTHING ELSE!
    thanks.

      aliveandbitchin,
      What you know about our beloved Muhammad’s (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) criminal act is a complete lie.
      Prophet and Messenger of Allah, Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) is the best ever human being ever born and he is nearest to Almighty Allah, the Judge of the Judgement Day. Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) was never associated with child molestation or other act of crime that some western media spread to disgrace Islam. Many Christians like Michael H. Hart honour him. If you read “The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History” you will know that he has ranked Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) as the most influential man on earth. Many men like him admire Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) for his character, good works, leadership and other causes. We Muslims consider ourselves very much lucky to be the followers of the Last Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
      Muslims should not be go to non-muslims for help because they should know that Allah is enough for a devoted Muslim. But those who aren’t devoted go to others for help. Many Muslims are left Muslims only by the name. Many of the Muslims have gone off completely from the path of Islam. But it is not rare in any other subject. In a good country there is always some bad citizens, nothing can get 100% pure but Allah.
      Jews are not supposed to destroy Muslims, so what they are doing is wrong and they will get what they earn. Allah has the power to decide over them.
      Many Muslims of today are not following complete Islam. So sometimes Muslims are punished. Sometimes Muslims are tested by giving them hardship. But this doesn’t mean that Allah is not helping them. If Muslims do wrong, they deserve to be punished, no one is above the rules of Allah. But if Muslims are tested and found patient, they will be rewarded in this world or in after-life which is never ending and that reward will last forever.
      That doesn’t mean that without your helps Islam or Muslims will not last. Islam and Muslims will always exist till it is time for destruction of this world. Islam is kept alive non-other but Allah. With secularism and without secularism, Islam will continue to exist. Because it is Allah’s approved religion.
      Thank you for taking your time to read about Islam. Discover original Islam, don’t judge Islam by Muslims who don’t practice Islam.
      For the roughness of your comment, you will soon know where is Allah, if not in this world, just at the moment of death, wait till then to realize or embrace Islam and realize now, before it is too late.

    “What you know about our beloved muhammad is a lie”
    WRONG. I was a practising muslim my self and in fact helped convert a friend who is unfortunately still praying to himself. Aisha was married at six and consumated at nine, it i s well known fact to me, an exmuslim and ell rcorded in sahih hadith. Watch Bilal Phillips, Sheik Yusuf estes Abdur Raheem Green they all justify th emarriage and dont deny it, read hadith narrated in Bukhari by aisha herself. Thanks.
    The muslims in Guantanamo Bay are being defended by secular laws. They were put there by Christian fundamentalists in America and are being freed by secular efforts. Muslims all over the world are screaming for Human Rights to save them not Shariah Law. Prayers don’t save you from the fire, the fire brigade does.

      It is a fact that Aishah (radiAllahu Anha) was married to Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) at the age of nine, but if anyone studies the matter it will be clear that it is no child molestation nor was he a pedophile. It was a happy marriage which resulted in the passing of over 2000 hadiths. The parents of Aisha, the friends of Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) or his enemies did not object to the marriage. It was common in those days.
      I have looked up believable references and very good reasons on this subject. Please read them for your better understanding of Islam and its prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam).
