Kufr (disbelief) in Islam refers to the rejection or denial of faith in Allāh and His teachings. There are two main types of kufr, each with specific forms:
- Major Kufr (Kufr Akbar): Major disbelief takes a person out of the fold of Islam. It involves outright denial or rejection of fundamental Islamic beliefs. Major kufr includes several forms:
- Minor Kufr (Kufr Asghar): Minor disbelief does not take a person out of Islam but is still a serious sin that weakens faith. This includes kufr of ingratitude, where a person fails to acknowledge Allāh’s blessings or complains about their life circumstances without recognizing Allāh’s wisdom.
