  • Criteria For Takfir Or Calling Others Disbelievers

    Posted by Sadiqa Ali on December 21, 2023 at 9:44 am

    We are seeing many people who are born Muslims but they when reach their teenage they dump their religion because they want to do all is party can’t we say that these people are disbelievers? And what about those who are non Muslims they haven’t been given dawah about Islam or they don’t have enough knowledge about Islam but they feel like their is some higher power still keep denying the fact will such people not considered disbelievers?

    The one who denies the divine message despite realizing the inherent truth in it or does not bother to investigate the truth despite having the means to knowledge are disbelievers. and those who are inclined to accept the truth whatever it is, are potentially Muslims by nature, even if they may or may not receive the message of Islam.

      So If a non Muslim who feels like there is a higher power but still doesn’t accepts his that feeling or avoids it what about him will he be considered disbeliever too and you said that someone who doesn’t bothers to investigate the truth despite having knowledge would it include everyone who feels like there is a higher power but he doesn’t seeks this information and you said those who deny the divine revelation despite realizing the truth in it would it include Christianity too like for example a person was born to a christian family but after getting older he leaves Christianity and is now non religious would he also be considered disbeliever?

      It is for God to decide after considering all the circumstances of the person and the knowledge he had whether he was an innate believer or not. We do not have this authority to put a disbeliever tag on others. We can call a person non-muslim if he is claiming to be not a Muslim.

      I mean someone who was born christian denies Christianity as it is a divine revelation will it be considered disbelief? Like If he knowingly rejects Christianity I am not asking it to call someone a disbeliever just asking it out of curiosity that does it comes under the category of disbelief

      If a person professes that he does not believe in something, he is a disbeliever concerning that belief.

    However, if a person does not claim or confess that he or she has forsaken his belief, they will be considered Muslim and their case is rest with God.
