    Kafir

    • Kafirconcealer of the truth (non-Muslims)


    Kafir (Arabic: كافر kāfir; plural كفّار kuffār) is an Arabic word meaning "rejecter" or "ingrate," also the term "Kuffar" the plural of the word "Kafir" is used to refer to peasants (أَعْجَبَ الْكُفَّارَ نَبَاتُهُ) Surah 57 Al-Hadid (Iron) Ayah 20;[2] as they till earth and "cover up" seeds. The term "Kufr" means "to cover up" this is why earth tillers are referred to as "Kuffar."
    In the Islamic doctrinal sense, the term refers to a person who does not recognize God (Allah) or the prophethood of Muhammad (i.e., any non-Muslim) or who hides, denies, or covers the "truth". The Quran also uses the word for Muslims; in Sura 2 Verse 256, it asks them to take upon themselves the action of "Kofr" of all unjust idols, persons or powers.
    It is usually translated into English as "unbeliever" "ungrateful" or "obliterator." In recent times, the term is seen as derogatory, which is why some Muslim scholars discourage its use and suggest the term "non-Muslim" instead.[1]

    Prophet Muhammed PBUH never never showed or taught hatred towards a living thing in his life time Kafir (Arabic: كافرkāfir; plural كفّارkuffār) is an Arabic word meaning "rejecter" or "ingrate." In the Islamic doctrinal sense, the term refers to a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth that Islam is the deen, God (Allah) is the one and only and the prophethood of Muhammad when clear proof has been shown to him / her. Kafir means not a disbeliever it is to a person who hides, denies, or covers the truth that Islam is the deen. The truth is you people are rejecting. there is no harm in rejecting. So that we call you kafir it is not a disgraceful term it is the opposite word of Muslim. If Islam is teaching hatred on kafirs you will not find a harmonious Sri Lanka. today it is one of a prime duty of a muslim to be kind and exemplary for non muslims so as to show them the TRUTH.

    How to dealing with non-Muslims Allah swt Thaala Says In The Holy Quran.

    God welcomes you to be kind those who have not made war against you on account of [your] religion, and have not driven you forth from your homes, that you show them kindness (birr) and deal with them justly; surely God loves the doers of justice. God only forbids you respecting those who made war upon you on account of [your] religion, and drove you forth from your homes and backed up [others] in your expulsion, that you make friends with them, and whoever makes friends with them, these are the unjust. ([Qur'an60:8])
