Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: Is there a disavowal of shirk (associating partners with Allah) in reciting Surat al-Kafirun?

Answer:
Without a doubt, it is a disavowal,
(2) I do not worship what you worship. (3) Nor are you worshippers of whatلَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ وَلَا أَنتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا
[Al-Kafirun 109:2-3]
. This disavowal is explicit, yes. The meaning of this surah is not what some of the common people or the callers to misguidance think, that its meaning is mutual tolerance between us and them, and each remains on his own religion, each on what he believes and is convinced of, as they say. This is false. The meaning of the surah is a clear disavowal of the religion of the polytheists, and that there is no mutual tolerance between us and them, and that each remains on his own religion and his own belief and conviction, as they say. Yes.
