Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Khaled al-Anbari: ... We have finished the topic of faith, albeit in a very brief manner, but given the time you have allowed us, we will address the topic of declaring someone a disbeliever. There is no doubt that disbelief is of two types: major disbelief and minor disbelief. The purpose of our discussion with you is major disbelief, which expels one from the religion. There is no doubt that the disbelief that expels one from the religion, as held by the people of the Sunnah and the community, is of six types, not just one: "denial, rejection, stubbornness, hypocrisy, turning away, and doubt". This diversity in the types of disbelief is due to the difference in people's positions toward the truth with which Allah sent the messengers and sent down the books. Some people disbelieve with their tongues and their hearts, and this is disbelief by denial. The majority of these people are those who do not have a comprehensive understanding of what Allah has sent down, so they disbelieved and denied. What indicates this is the statement of our Lord:
(83) And [warn of] the Day when We will gather from every nation a company of those who deny Our signs, and they will be [driven] in rows (84) Until, when they arrive [at the place of Judgement], He will say, "Did you deny My signs while you encompassed them not in knowledge, or what [was it that] you were doing?" ويوم نحشر من كل أمة فوجا ممن يكذب بآياتنا فهم يوزعون حتى إذا جاءوا قال أكذبتم بآياتي ولم تحيطوا بها علما أم ماذا كنتم تعملون
[An-Naml 27:83-84]
And some people are certain in their hearts that it is the truth, but they conceal it and deny it with their tongues.
