Allah is angry with them. Did you
notice that He never addressed them
directly!
Should we not be alerted! Just
imagine the time when we were kids
(along with other brothers and sisters)
and father was angry with one…
Didn’t the rest of us were alerted,
rather tried to please dad?
Allah is angry with disbelievers. We
should immediately be alerted and

Main problem with Kafirs? They followed their nafs,
egos, income, positions, institutions, traditions etc.
They refused to follow the truth in spite of knowing
it.
Let people know O Allah! Let us not
the dangers of reject or neglect
following egos and the truth because
traditions. Follow of our egos and
Qur’an/Sunnah positions.

Do Istighfar. Ponder on
How many times did we
the Greatness of Allah
behave like that? How is
and our position in
our interaction when
front of Him.

 ِ ‫كَا‬
‫فر‬
Every Non-Muslim is not Kafir (Qur’an
is huda linnaas; kuntum khaira
ummat…)
Word Kafir itself is not an insult.
Otherwise Allah would not have used
it for Mulsims (After Ayatalkursi)

Some Muslims think that all people know
what Islam is! Through Media, internet, …
Look at Muslims themselves. 90% or more
don’t know what is in the Qur’an. And they
expect others to know what Islam is?
– This is really arrogance and forgetting one’s
own job. Look at how many times the Prophet
pbuh conveyed the Message to Quraish in
Makkah.. for 13 years!!! How many years have
we done? 13 hours so far?

Not a message to say that All
religions are equal.
Neither a message that we should
stop Dawah. Did the Prophet stop
preaching after this revelation?
It was revealed in response to offer of
compromise. No compromise in faith
matters.
