with Our Wrath until We had sent
messengers (to give warning)

them whether you warn them or do not warn
them, they will not believe
2:159 Those who conceal the clear (Signs)
We have sent down, and the Guidance, after
We have made it clear for the people in the
Book, on them shall be God's curse, and the
curse of those entitled to curse

Who Is Kafir?(3)
Literally,

word kafir comes from word kafara in

Arabic that means To Cover
Hence, the meaning of kafir is the one who
Reject Faith after they got a clear and true
message about Islam
So, can we simply claim that all non Muslim
are kafir?
