Does the following make one a kaafir?
Question:
Does the following make one a kaafir?
• If such and such happened I would be driven to kufr
• I will become a kaafir
• Honestly, I am close to becoming a kaafir
• I would become a kaafir if there was another Lord to believe in
Thank you for your time. Jazakallah.
Answer:
Wa Alaikum as Salaam,
No, these statements do not make one a kafir. However, uttering such statements is a major sin and can eventually lead one to kufr..
A Muslim must never use such statements. One should make Tauba (repentance) for uttering such statements and must not repeat them in future.
And Allah knows best,
