This kufr
may sometimes take the form of disbelief in the heart – which occurs rarely
among the kuffaar, as Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said – and
sometimes it takes the form of outward or apparent rejection, which means
concealing the truth and not submitting to it outwardly, whilst recognizing it
and knowing it inwardly, such as the Jews’ rejection of Muhammad (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) (Ref. al-Baqarah
2:89, 2:146]
That is
because rejection only happens which a person knows the truth and refuses it.
Hence
Allaah stated that the kuffaar’s disbelief in the Messenger (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) was not disbelief in the true sense of the
word, because their disbelief was only outward and verbal, and inwardly they
recognized the truth.
Allaah
says:
فَإِنَّهُمْ لا يُكَذِّبُونَكَ وَلَكِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ
بِآيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ
“And
indeed, they do not call you untruthful, but it is the verses of Allah that the
wrongdoers reject.”
[al-An’aam 6:33]
وَجَحَدُوا بِهَا وَاسْتَيْقَنَتْهَا أَنفُسُهُمْ ظُلْمًا
وَعُلُوًّا
“And they
rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of
injustice and haughtiness.”
[al-Naml 27:14]
Similar to
this is the kufr of permitting that which is forbidden.
Whoever
regards as permissible something which he knows that Islam has forbidden has
disbelieved in the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and in
that which he brought.
The same
applies to one who forbids something which he knows that Islam has permitted.
