KÂFIR – كافر

 

Literally: The one who does not want to see the haqq or covers it. One who denies a benefit, or bestowal. Ungrateful. One who repays a benefit by denying it.

A misbeliever. A person who disbelieves, denies, or rejects Allah or any pillar of îmân.

(Please refer to the Compilation on Kâfir)

 

In the riwâyât, it was mentioned that "at the âkhirzaman, no one will remain who will say: Allah! Allah!"

1 لاَ يَعْلَمُ الْغَيْبَ اِلاَّ اللّٰهُ , a ta’wîl of it must be as follows: the takkas 2 , the places of dhikr and the madrasas, where the dhikr of “Allah! Allah! Allah!” is recited, will be closed, and a name other than the Name Allah will be used in the shaâ’er, such as the adhan and iqâmah. It does not mean that all mankind will fall into kufr al-mutlaq. Because denying Allah is as far from the mind as denying the universe. The mind cannot accept the occurrence of this denial, even in the majority of people, let alone all of them. The kâfirs do not deny Allah but are in error concerning His attributes.

Another ta’wîl of it is this: the rûhs of the mu’mins will be seized a little previously by the qiyâmah so that they do not see its terror. Qiyâmah will erupt over the heads of the kâfirs.
