Hadith 1

s and the grudges in their souls, and their arrogance and their pride! ’
Allah-azwj the Exalted Revealed: And Iblees did ratify his conjecture upon them, so they (all) followed him except a group from the Momineen [34: 20]. And as for the Kufr mentioned in the Book of Allah-azwj the Exalted, it is of five aspects. From it is Kufr of the rejection, and from it is Kufr only, and the rejection is based upon two aspects, and from it is Kufr of neglect of what Allah-azwj the Exalted has Commanded with, and from it is Kufr of the disavowing, and from it is Kufr of the bounties. As for Kufr of the rejection, one of the two aspects of it is rejection of the Oneness (of Allah-azwj), and it is word of the one who says, ‘There is neither any Lord-azwj, nor Paradise, nor Hellfire, nor Resurrection, nor Publication of deeds’, and these (people) are a type of atheists and a type of the eternalists, those who says, ‘nothing destroys us except the time’. [45: 24], and that is an opinion which they had placed it for themselves. They considered it as good without any argument (or proof). Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: and they are only guessing [2: 78]; and Said: Surely those who are disbelieving, it is the same to them, whether you warn them or you do not warn them, they will not be believing [2: 6], i. e. , they will not be believing in the Tawheed of Allah-azwj. And another aspect of the rejection, it is the rejection with having the recognition of its reality. The Exalted Said: And they rejected these and convinced themselves out of injustice and pride, [27: 14]; and the Glorious Said: and they had been from before praying for victory over those who disbelieved – so when there came to them what they recognised, they disbelieved in it. Therefore, the Curse of Allah is upon the unbelievers [2: 89] – i. e. , they rejected him-asws after having recognised him-asws. And as for the third aspect of Kufr, it is Kufr of neglect of what Allah-azwj had Commanded them with, and it is from the acts of disobedience. Allah-azwj the Glorious Said: And when We Took your Covenant: You will not be shedding your blood nor will you be expelling your people out from their houses. Then you accepted and you were testifying. [2: 84] – up to His-azwj Words: Are you believing in part of the Book and disbelieving in a part (of it)? [2: 85]. They were Kafirs due to their having neglected what Allah-azwj the Exalted had Commanded them with, so He-azwj Attributed them to the Eman due to their acceptance with their tongues upon the apparent, besides the hidden. But that does not benefit them due to Words of the Exalted: So, what is a Recompense of the one from you who does that except disgrace in the life of the world? [2: 85] – up to end of the Verse. And as for the fourth aspect of Kufr, it is what Allah-azwj has Narrated from the words of Ibrahim-as: We deny you all, and the enmity and the hatred has appeared between us and you (to remain) forever until you believe in Allah Alone [60: 4]. His-as words, ‘We deny you all’, i. e. , we disavow from you. And the Glorious Said in the story of Iblees-la and his-la disavowing from his-la friends from the humans, on the Day of Qiyamah, I denied what you were associating from before. [14: 22], i. e. , I-la disavow
