Continuation of the words of the brother Khalid al-'Anbari regarding the remaining five types of major disbelief, which are

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Khalid al-'Anbari: The point, may Allah reward you, is that if a person denies Islam, it means either that he is ignorant of Islam and did not investigate it properly, and therefore denied it. This is if he denies it with his heart and his tongue, meaning that in reality he is denying it with his heart and is sincere in that denial in terms of reality. I said this to distinguish this type from the other type, which is disbelief of denial. Disbelief of denial is when one is certain in his heart that it is the truth, but he conceals that and denies it with his tongue. This is like the disbelief of Pharaoh regarding Moses and the disbelief of the Jews regarding Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). In this regard, our Lord said, as you mentioned earlier:
And they rejected them, while their [inner] selves were convinced thereof, out of injustice and haughtiness وجحدوا بها واستيقنتها أنفسهم ظلما وعلوا
[An-Naml 27:14]
when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it فلما جاءهم ما عرفوا كفروا به
[Al-Baqarah 2:89]
This is disbelief of denial. As for disbelief of stubbornness, it is when one acknowledges Islam inwardly and outwardly, with his heart and his tongue, but he does not submit to Islam out of hatred, arrogance, and opposition to Allah and His messengers. So even though he believes in this truth, that opposition contradicts this belief. This is like the disbelief of the cursed Iblis, as our Lord said:
except for Iblees. He refused and was arrogant and became of the disbelievers. إلا إبليس أبى واستكبر وكان من الكافرين
[Al-Baqarah 2:34]
As for disbelief of turning away, it is when one turns away from it; he neither believes in it nor denies it, and he does not listen to it at all, nor does he hear it intentionally, out of mockery and arrogance. As our Lord said:
(3) A Book whose verses have been detailed, an Arabic Qur'an for a people who know, (4) As a giver of good tidings and a warner; but most of them turn away, so they do not hear. كتاب فصلت آياته قرآنا عربيا لقوم يعلمون بشيرا ونذيرا فأعرض أكثرهم فهم لا يسمعون
[Fussilat 41:3-4]
Then He said:
And they say, "Our hearts are within coverings from that to which you invite us, and in our ears is deafness, and between us and you is a partition, so work; indeed, we are working." وقالوا قلوبنا في أكنة مما تدعونا إليه وفي آذاننا وقر ومن بيننا وبينك حجاب فاعمل إننا عاملون
[Fussilat 41:5]

Then there is disbelief of doubt. Some people remain in doubt and hesitation, not being decisive about anything. The last type is disbelief of hypocrisy, which does not need explanation.
