Описание: Who is A Muslim, A Kafir, A Murtad (Apostate)?

People often confuse the difference between Kafir Asli (originally Kafir) and Kafir Murtad (Apostate) who was a Muslim but he negated his belief.

Let us classify the types of Kafir below:

1. Kafir Asli - originally Kafir
An example of kuffar asli are the: Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Jews or atheists i.e. a disbeliever in Islam. So they could believe in God but not in The Messenger Muhammad (saw).There are three types of Kafir Asli:(a) Mushriks - from the people of the book i.e. Jews & Christians(b) Mushriks - who are not people of the book, e.g. Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Zoroastrians etc.(c) Atheists - such as those who believe in science, self-worshippers, women-worshippers, money-worshippers etc.Therefore the Kafir is: 'The one who does not believe in Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (saw).'

2. Kafir Murtad (apostate) The kafir Murtad a person who was a Muslim once but committed one or more of the actions below:

(a) Al-Juhoud - To deny any obligation known by necessity. If a person denies any action that is known from Islam by necessity, such as to deny fasting, Hajj, prayer, Shari'ah, Jihad he will become Jaahid (The Denier), who indulges in Juhoud.
if a person rejects any of Allah`s commands with complete knowledge and a willful intention, he will become Murtad.

(b) Al-Istihlaal - To permit what Allah (swt) forbids or forbids what Allah permits Istihlaal is to permit what Allah forbids or vice versa. An example of this is the one who permits fornication or forbids. The one who commits Istihlaal is called Al-Mustahil (Legislator). if a person makes Halal any thing which Allah named to be haraam with full knowledge and a willful intention, he will become Murtad (Apostate).

(c) Al-Naaqid - Negations of the Deen, There are ten main
negations of the Deen (Nawaaqid ul Islam) and if a person violates any one of them with knowledge and willful intention, he will become a Murtad (Apostate).
