Kafir
- Kafir — concealer 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.
