ITS THE SAME THING. THEY ARE BOTH IBAADAT AND THEY ARE BOTH BIDA. . . salat. . 4 rakah is an order fr0m ALLAH.. making count with right finger only for any zikr is a c0mmand fr0m ALLAH... PERFORMING 1 RAKAT INSTEAD OF 4 because u want ease = bida..replacing 4 with 1. . . ALLAH said we must make zikr with hand and u replace it with tesubah and other counting method because u d0nt wana lose c0unt or u want ease = bida . .3r u are disobeying ALLAH and making law into islam which is kufru. . .4
Wherevisvd evidence that Allah told you you must make dhikr with hand?

Oh yh, I told them about Islam as you can see in my post.

So many years of not knowing what Islam is.

One year of someone telling you about Islam, d person left and you are still with those who represent Islam wrongly?

They fear Muslims cos of d false doctrine they've witnessed, Fulani even destroyed a neighbouring village during my stay.
All Hausa Fulani in my village ran away, even we that are not Hausa Fulani had to be careful.

So those ones I mentioned above will believe in Islam just like that?
Did you know how many years spent in calling people to Islam?
Bros you are still living in your own head(no offence meant)

Ahlul Kitab were Kufars in d Quran? Bring your evidence.
I have brought my own evidence from the alQuran that they are not Kufars , you say they are and you saw it in d Quran, bring your own evidence.

Dea is no difference between s0me0ne using tesubah and s0me0ne who decides to perform 1 rakah of salat for every zuhr and ashr because 1 rakah is much easier than 4 rakah. ..ave qmp
Very Very different.

One rakah of Salat is rubbish.

Using tesuba is just for counting, just like we use Abacus too.
You want to make subhanallah 33x after a solat, you ave a tesuba and your hand, your tesuba has marked places that you won't make mistake on getting there.
But while using your hands, you can make mistakes due to human error.

Which would you go for?.

It's very different from your solat analogy.

Being a Kafir is deeper than what you think.
How are you sure all the conditions of them being kafirs have been fulfilled?
Are you in their mind?
Do you know d messages that got to them and the mental conditions it met them?


Take this for instance.


I was in an Igbo village throughout last year, D people I lived with were mostly Catholics.
The only thing they know about Islam is that Fulani's are Muslims.
And the way those Fulanis represented Islam over there was bad and they also hear news about Boko harams being Muslims.
When I told them I was a Muslim, they were surprised cos I was different from everything they've known all their life about Islam.

Some of them even wanted to join me to pray, but they were never Muslims and never became Muslims cos of all they know about Islam is d false one.

So these set of people , believe in God, do good , believe in d message they knew was sent to them

If they die , you won't call them Kafir cos of d little they know about Islam.

Do you understand?

An Idolator may be a kafir or might not, because you do not know d level of message they've received, their thinking faculty, circumstances and other stuffs will be put into consideration.

Guy read this o.
And make sure You sit down and read it 3 or 4 times and ponder over it.




Contrary to popular believe, Jews and Christians (collectively known in the Quran as The People of the Book) are not necessarily Kafirs provided they believe in the existence of God, uphold a monotheistic lifestyle, engage in righteous deeds, and uphold the rituals and ceremonies outline in their respected (original) scriptures. [1] :
"Indeed, those who believe , and
those who are Jews, and the Christians and the Sabians , any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."[Quran 2:62]
"Indeed, those who believe , and those who are Jews, and the Sabians and the Christians , any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."[Quran 5:69]
Nor is a Kafir someone whom the truth of a certain matter (in this case the existence and oneness of God) has either never reached or has not been clearly manifested to him, or has come to him in such a garbled and corrupt(ed) form that it makes it difficult for him to recognize it as the truth. This type of person is better characterized ‘absence of belief’, and Allah, as the Quran teaches, will not punish such a person's; It has never been the will of God to punish anyone or a people unjustly, especially when people do not know what they are doing is wrong and there is still hope that they may take heed once the truth has been made absolutely clear to them:
“Nor was thy Lord the one to destroy a population until He had sent to its center a messenger , rehearsing to them Our Signs; nor are We going to destroy a population except when its members practice iniquity”[Quran 28:59]
"“This is because thy Lord destroys not the townships arbitrarily while their people are unconscious (of the wrong they do) ”[Quran 6:131]
Nor is a Kafir an idolater, a Non-Muslim or even one that does not believe.
Rather, a Kafir , as evidenced from the Quran, is a 'state' that one 'enters' into once the truth has been clearly manifested to them, made absolutely clear and there is no reason left to deny it (given the recipient's circumstances, faculties etc.). However if, despite the clear evidence and proof, the recipient still rejects the truth and or conceals it from within themselves, it is then that one enters into a state of Kafir.
[2]
How would God bestow His guidance upon people who have resolved to deny the truth.... [after] all evidence of the truth has come unto them ? For, God does not guide such evildoing folk. [Quran 3:86]
-
To conclude, the term Kafir is a very serious matter, and unfortunately Muslim masses often have an unwarranted understanding of it and what it means from a Quran's perspective. ' Kufr' (disbelief) has little to do with disbelief in God. Even Satan was termed a 'disbeliever' ( wakana mina'l KAFIREEN 2:34) yet he clearly believed in and feared God.:
"Indeed I am clear of you, indeed I see what you do not see, INDEED I FEAR GOD ; and God is severe in requiting (evil)" [Quran 8:48]
"Like the example of Satan when he says to man: "Disbelieve", but when he disbelieves, he says: "Indeed, I am clear of you. INDEED I FEAR GOD , the Lord of the worlds" [Quran 59:16]
An individual may potentially follow a particular path with unrelenting zeal, rest assured that they claim to believe in God, yet when a particular truth is clearly manifested to them that makes evident to them the errors of their ways, they deny it. Such a denial in the face of evident truth is no different from the arrogance displayed by Satan who knowing full well the truth of the matter, denied it.[4]
One can never know when someone has entered a state of
kufr . Their faculties, the clarity of truth that has reached them, their circumstances will all be taken into account and given the immense complexities and variables, it can only be for God to pronounce judgment on the state of a soul and not for man. For some, belief and disbelief is a continuous cycle and it is only God that can make an appropriate judgment.

iamgenius:
Jazaaka Llaahu Khayran brother, If it is clear to us that someone reject anything brought by Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) after clear explanation to the person, we can call him a Kaafir. If we don't believe that the person is a Kaafir, we are also rejecting the truth that the person is a Kaafir. Life doesn't only arise when someone reject the existence of Allah, even if a Muslim reject the fact that we have to believe in everything the Prophet says after we showed in clear evidences and he reject it by actions or words or by heart, the person is no more a Muslim he is a Kaafir. There are many ways one can become a Kaafir. I think the Scholars stated some ten things that can render one a kaafir. May Allah save us from kufr Aamen
Aamen bro, but are you sure that is what you deduced from my post?

That is ' kufr '.
IslamWho Is A Kafir? by Raintaker(op): 12:09pm On Aug 19, 2017
First, I would like to share the definition of the word Kafir / Kufr .
DEFINITION OF THE WORD KAFIR / KUFR :
Kufr : A denial or rejection of the truth; Concealing the truth; Ingratitude; Choosing to live in the darkness of ignorance; Hiding or covering something; Closing eyes to the light of truth; Stubborn denial of the truth; Concealing the truth; Knowingly oppose the truth; Uncritical adherence to ancestral views; Trying to be with the majority without discernment.
Kafir : One given to Kufr; One who adamantly denies or opposes the truth; Commonly translated as ‘infidel’; Derivatively and positively, a farmer who hides the seed under the soil ( SEE: Quran 57:20 ). Therefore, Kufr or Kafir does not apply to the unaware, anyone to whom the message has not been conveyed or reached. Rather it refers to one who rejects the truth (in this scenario: Islam) after it has been CLEARLY manifested to him, and he’s become fully cognizant of it with no reason left for him to deny / reject it (given the recipients circumstance, and faculties).

Since this [Quran 74:10] is the earliest Qur'anic occurrence of the expression kafir (the above surah having been preceded only by the first five verses of surah 96), its use here - and, by implication, in the whole of the Qur'an - is obviously determined by the meaning which it had in the speech of the Arabs before the advent of the Prophet Muhammad: in other words, the term kafir cannot be simply equated, as many Muslim theologians of post-classical times and practically all Western translators of the Qur'an have done, with "unbeliever" or "infidel" in the specific, restricted sense of one who rejects the system of doctrine and law promulgated in the Qur'an and amplified by the teachings of the Prophet - but must have a wider, more general meaning. This meaning is easily grasped when we bear in mind that the root verb of the participial noun kafir (and of the infinitive noun kufr) is kafara, "he [or "it"] covered [a thing]": thus, in 57:20 the tiller of the soil is called (without any pejorative implication) kafir, "one who covers", i.e., the sown seed with earth, just as the night is spoken of as having "covered" (kafara) the earth with darkness. In their abstract sense, both the verb and the nouns derived from it have a connotation of "concealing" something that exists or "denying" something that is true. Hence, in the usage of the Qur'an -with the exception of the one instance (in 57:20) where this participial noun signifies a "tiller of the soil" -a kafir is "one who denies [or "refuses to acknowledge"] the truth" in the widest, spiritual sense of this latter term: that is, irrespective of whether it relates to a cognition of the supreme truth -namely, the existence of God - or to a doctrine or ordinance enunciated in the divine writ, or to a self evident moral proposition, or to an acknowledgment of, and therefore gratitude for, favors received.
I would know like to explain who is not a kafir :
Contrary to popular believe, Jews and Christians (collectively known in the Quran as The People of the Book) are not necessarily Kafirs provided they believe in the existence of God, uphold a monotheistic lifestyle, engage in righteous deeds, and uphold the rituals and ceremonies outline in their respected (original) scriptures.

"Indeed, those who believe , and those who are Jews, and the Sabians and the Christians , any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness,- on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve."[Quran 5:69]
Nor is a Kafir someone whom the truth of a certain matter (in this case the existence and oneness of God) has either never reached or has not been clearly manifested to him, or has come to him in such a garbled and corrupt(ed) form that it makes it difficult for him to recognize it as the truth.

' Kufr' (disbelief) has little to do with disbelief in God. Even Satan was termed a 'disbeliever' ( wakana mina'l KAFIREEN 2:34) yet he clearly believed in and feared God.:
"Indeed I am clear of you, indeed I see what you do not see, INDEED I FEAR GOD ; and God is severe in requiting (evil)" [Quran 8:48]
"Like the example of Satan when he says to man: "Disbelieve", but when he disbelieves, he says: "Indeed, I am clear of you. INDEED I FEAR GOD , the Lord of the worlds" [Quran 59:16]
An individual may potentially follow a particular path with unrelenting zeal, rest assured that they claim to believe in God, yet when a particular truth is clearly manifested to them that makes evident to them the errors of their ways, they deny it. Such a denial in the face of evident truth is no different from the arrogance displayed by Satan who knowing full well the truth of the matter, denied it.[4]
One can never know when someone has entered a state of
kufr . Their faculties, the clarity of truth that has reached them, their circumstances will all be taken into account and given the immense complexities and variables, it can only be for God to pronounce judgment on the state of a soul and not for man. For some, belief and disbelief is a continuous cycle and it is only God that can make an appropriate judgment. [2]
That is ' kufr '.

AND THE QURAN VERSES YOU QUOTED, ALLAH WAS TELLING RASUL HIST0RY ABOUT THE TIME OF JEWS, CHRISTIANS AND THEIR PROPHETS ..R
Do I need to tell you again that the message those prophets brought was that of Islam and there is nothing like Judaism or Christianity during the era of these prophets.





Christains , Jews are d general names those ppl who follow those paths are known as and Allah was referring to those present in d era of the prophet and d ones now.

You can qoute me anywhere.


Or are u denying the verse that Allah sent prophets to each and every nation?.
So u r saying Allah sent his prophets to preach Christianity and Judaism?
you are confused seriously.

AbuUthaymeen:
EXACTLY, so which article of faith do christian, jew and sufi, shia, mss and other egbe(sect) believe in? . . . . . .g
lol.
There is a mix up here, I was referring to d muslins you call kafirs here and not xtsins and co.






About d xtains and their cohorts ,I provided an evidence from d Quran where It was stated that their reward is with Allah.
I stated that Allah mentioned in d Quran that of those who believe and d xtains and Jews and d fire worshippers, those who do good amongst them, their reward lies with Allah their God.



Which one is Egbe?I don't know them.


The MSS and co, tell me d what Mss means to you , then I'd give u a befitting reply, although I didn't join Mss in school sha
