I have many debts of graditude due to so many individuals I am certain I will be unable to fit
them all on this acknowledgements page. However, I would like to thank some of the people who have
been a major influence and advocate both before and during the writing of this thesis.
I would first like to thank my professor and advisor Joseph E. B. Lumbard, for not only holding
some of the most interesting lectures of life, but for challenging the way I think and encouraging me
during my entire time at Brandeis University. I am eternally grateful to Professor Lumbard for allowing
me to both read and use the Harper Collin’s Study Qur’ān manuscript for the English translation of the
Qur’ān in this thesis. It is by far the best English translation of the Qur’ān in existence and I am looking
forward to it upcoming publication. I would also like to thank Professor Lumbard for the ‘shoulder to cry
on’, which he provided over the two years of the journey that was my Masters Degree in Near Eastern and
Judaic Studies. I will never be able to repay you for those boxes of tissues.
Next, I would like to thank my second reader and professor Carl Sharif El-Tobgui, for his
continued support and brainstorming during the writing of this thesis, and for his informative and
interesting class on Islamic Law. I am extremely thankful for Professor El-Tobgui’s kindness and
understanding during some of the more stressful times of my two years at Brandeis University.
Further, I am eternally grateful for my mother Karen Sullivan. There is no way I will ever be able
to thank her for all of the time and energy she has put into my life, but knowing that she would “bet her
life” on me during times where I was not sure I believed in myself, makes me one of the luckiest people
in existence. You have supported me through the good times, the bad times, and the questionable times.
Wicked love you Mumma, thank you for everything. I have no idea what I would do without you.
I would also like to thank my father, Brent Stewart. I am not sure if he will ever pronounce the
word “Arabic” correctly or if he even thought my attending graduate school was a good idea to begin
with, but I am so thankful he went along with it anyway! I will never forget the times I called to talk to
him about my studies and was ignored for the television… Joking aside, thank you Dad for everything, I
wicked love you.
I would like to thank my brother, Mitchell Stewart, for his support and love through this process.
Having me as a sister does not make life easy, but I appreciate all of the laughs, encouragement, prayers,
and endless phones calls made not only during graduate school but throughout his entire life. Thank you
Mitch for being you, I love you so much.
To my friend and colleague, Elias Abrar, for going above and beyond the call of friendship during
the two years I have known him in graduate school. I will never be able to thank him enough for bugging
him at all hours of the day with questions on both my thesis and course material. Thank you Elias for
being a genuinely kind person, for all the laughs and for listening when I needed it the most.
Finally, I would like to thank some of the friends, colleagues, and all around best people in the
world for being there during the highs and lows of graduate school: Alaa Murad, Sandra Fernandez,
Joseph Leonard, Celine Lizzio, and Jason Bernard; and in memory of Fredrick George Jones Jr. Ph. D, for
without whom I would most likely have never written this thesis.

ABSTRACT
Unveiling Disbelief: an Analysis of the Qur'ānic Understanding of the Disbeliever
A thesis presented to the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies
Graduate School of Arts and Sciences
Brandeis University
Waltham, Massachusetts
by Megan Kimberly Stewart
This thesis is an analysis of how the derived forms from the Arabic root ‘‫ر‬-‫ف‬-‫’ك‬,
translated as to disbelieve and disbelievers, is used in the Qur’ān. The purpose of this thesis is to
determine what it means to disbelieve and to be a disbeliever, through analyzing verses of the
Qur’ān and examining the verses through the use of tafsīr, hadith, the Asbāb al-Nuzūl, and other
forms of prophetic Sunnah. This thesis defines what it means to believe, how the various verbal
forms of ‘‫ر‬-‫ف‬-‫ ’ك‬are used to understand what it means to disbelieve, explore what characteristics
are associated with disbelievers, and how the People of the Book, the Jews and Christians, fit
into the concept of belief and disbelief.

Introduction
﴾14:18﴿ The parable of those who disbelieve in their Lord: their deeds are as ashes that the wind blows hard on a
stormy day. They have no power over aught that they have earned. That is extreme error.
One of the fundamental issues in understanding the religious inclusive aspect of the
Islamic faith, especially in this day and age, is centered on what it means to be a ‘disbeliever’.
The term ‘infidel’ gets thrown around by extremist groups on a daily basis, and has made its way
into mainstream media who portray Islam based on limited knowledge and understanding of the
Qur’ān. Unlike the concept of non-believing people in Judaism and Christianity, the portrayal of
the disbeliever in Islam is not so clear. The Qur’ān addresses disbelief and its derived forms in
eighty-three of the one-hundred and fourteen suwar, making it a topic which was obviously seen
as an aspect of concern during the time of the Prophet Muhammad and the early Muslim
community. A problem which comes with interpreting and understanding the use of bisbelief in
the Qur’ān, comes with the āyāt that seem contradictory to ones on disbelief which came before
it. Deciphering what it means to disbelieve is not only important for further understanding and
interpreting āyāt of the Qur’ān, but it is also important for the promotion of the idea of religious
inclusivism within the Islamic faith.
For this reason, the purpose of this thesis is to analyze āyāt of the Qur’ān regarding
disbelief, by looking at some of the most fundamental concepts of the Islamic faith, thereby
creating a clearer picture of what it actually means to be an ‘infidel’ or disbeliever. The first
1
chapter will explore the concept of belief and the believer as a means of understanding what is
considered the opposite of disbelief, which will serve as a basis for characterics not associated
with disbelievers. The second chapter will then analyze what it means ‘to disbelieve’, from its
root ‘‫ر‬-‫ف‬-‫ ’ك‬to its various verbal forms in Arabic, and how the Qur’ān describes disbelief in
relation to the believer. The third chapter will explore the characteristics of the disbeliever, with
more of a focus on some of the more philosophical aspects underlying disbelief, as well as some
of the allusions and imagery used to give a metaphorical understanding of disbelief. The final
chapter will take a look at how disbelief fits into the other Abrahamic religious traditions,
Judaism and Christianity, and how they are considered both believers and disbelievers under
various circumstances.
In order to properly analyze the āyāt of the Qur’ān on the disbeliever, this thesis employs
the use of Qur’ānic commentary, tafsīr (‫)تفسير‬, as a means of interpreting āyāt of the Qur’ān, and
to explore how classical scholars of Islam vary in interpretation. The tafsīr collections of Jalāl alDīn al-Suyūṭī and Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī’, 'Abdullāh Ibn cAbbās Muḥammad AlFīrūzabādī,‘Abd al-Razzāq Al-Kāshānī, Abū’l-Qāsim Al-Qushayrī, Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā,
Sahl Ibn ‘Abd Allāh Al-Tustarī, and Abū Jacfar Muḥammad B. Jarīr Al-Ṭabarī, were utilized in
addition to cAlī ibn Ahmad Al-Wāhidī’s Asbāb al-Nuzūl, as the main source for determining the
Ocassions of Revelation (‫ )أسباب النزول‬for some sūrah and āyah. These tafsīr collections were
chosen based on their reliabiltity and reputation with Islamic scholars, but primarily because they
were some of the only tafsīr collections which had been made available with an English
translation. Other sources of Prophetic Sunnah include passages of hadith and a biography of the
Prophet Muhammad by Martin Lings.

As a means of staying true to the original Arabic, each āyah listed is listed using the
phonetic pronunciation, original Arabic title, and English translation of the title. Each chapter is
referred to as a sūrah (‫)سورة‬, or suwar (‫ )سور‬in the plural, and each verse is called an āyah (‫)آية‬,
or āyāt (‫ )آيات‬in the plural. As the author of this paper, I chose to use the traditional Arabic
terminology when describing chapter and verse number as the term sūrah is rarely ever
substituted for the English ‘chapter’, and the word ‘verse’ does not fully encompass the meaning
of the Arabic word āyah (‫)آية‬, which can be translated to mean ‘sign’ or ‘evidence’. For a number
of terms which I provided the phonetic pronouncation for the Arabic word, I have also included
the Arabic. As a student of Arabic, I have always found it more helpful to see the Arabic spelling
of the word even when the phonetic pronounciation of the Arabic is given. All English
translated passages of the Qur’ān were taken from the forthcoming Harper Collin’s publication
entitled, The Study Qur’ān.1

The Believer
﴾2:285﴿. The Messenger believes in what was sent down to him from his Lord, as do the believers. Each believes in
God, His angels, His Books, and His messengers. “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And
they say, “We hear and obey. Thy forgiveness, our Lord! And unto Thee is the journey’s end.” 2
The fundamental principle of understanding why humanity is drawn toward religious
practice was best stated by Seyyed Hossein Nasr: “The function of religion is to bestow order
upon human life and to establish an “outward” harmony upon whose basis man can return
inwardly to his Origin by means of the journey toward the “interior” direction.”3 According to
the Classical Islamic tradition, God created human kind from a single clot. He created us as
beings which He intended to be a reflection of Himself, and created us to worship Him in a
mortal state until our return to Him in Paradise. The Qur’ān was sent as a Revelation to the
Prophet Muhammad to be a reminder of mankind’s place with the singular and omniscient God.
This reminder came as a warning to all mankind, that upon death you will be judged on how you
have lived out your life in accordance to God’s Will and likeness. According to the Hadith
(‫ )حديث‬tradition, it is explained that death need not be feared by those who live in accordance to
the word of God: “The Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace) has said, ‘The

intelligent man is he who judges himself and acts for what follows death’.”4 The question then is,
how do we live in the way of God and how does one guarantee their entrance to paradise? The
most basic answer is, to believe.
Belief is the antonym of disbelief, and therefore cannot share similar characteristics by
definition. Disbelief (‫ ) َكفَ َر‬and the disbeliever (‫ )كَافِر‬are markedly two of the most negative
concepts to be used in the Qur’ān, and to truly define the disbeliever, what it means to believe
must first be understood. There are three major dimensions within Islamic doctrine, islam (‫)إسالم‬
traditionally defined as, “to turn oneself over to, to resign oneself, to submit,”5 īmān (‫)إيمان‬
generally defined as “faith” but more inclusively defined by the Prophet Muhammad as, “[…] a
knowledge in the heart, a voicing with the tongue, and an activity in the limbs,”6 and ihsan
(‫ )إحسان‬is understood as “doing what is beautiful,”7 and explained by the Prophet in the Hadith of
Gabriel as, “to worship God as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, He sees you.”8 For the
purpose of understanding disbelief, īmān will be examined to get a better grasp of what it means
to believe, as well as exploring the characteristics of a mu’min (‫) ُمؤْ ِمن‬, meaning believer, through
the use of various prophetic Sunnah, to clearly establish what it means to be a God fearing and
pious believer.
Īmān (‫)اإليمان‬: Faith
The Arabic root ‘‫ن‬-‫م‬-‫ ’أ‬has approximately seventeen derived forms that are used in the
Qur’ān. Form one verb, َ‫أَ ِمن‬, meaning “to entrust” and “to feel secure” is used in approximately
sixteen āyāt of the Qur’ān; the form four verb, َ‫ َءا َمن‬, meaning “to believe” is used in

approximately four hundred and seventy nine āyāt; and finally it is used once as the form eight
verb َ‫ٱؤْ ت ُ ِمن‬, meaning “to be entrusted”. The translation of the form one verb of the root ‘‫ن‬-‫م‬-‫’أ‬
gives insight into the inner idea of faith and how faith or believing gives a feeling of security
within the heart of the individual that believes in the Word of God: “Īmān is an act of heart, a
decisive giving oneself up to God and His Message and gaining peace and security and
fortification against tribulation.”9 Therefore to believe is to entrust ones soul and fate to the Will
of God, and to not believe or disbelieve is to either not entrust or to refuse to entrust ones heart to
the Will of God. The beginning āyāt of the Sūrah al-Baqarah, “The Cow” (‫)سورة البقرة‬, āyāt two
through five, state that the Qur’ān was sent by God as a book for those who believe, and lay out
briefly a few key concepts in recognizing a believer within the Islamic faith:
﴾2:2﴿ This
is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guidance for the reverent, ﴾2:3﴿ who
believe in the Unseen and perform the prayer and spend from that which We have
provided them, ﴾2:4﴿ and who believe in what was sent down unto thee, and what was sent
down before thee, and who are certain of the Hereafter. ﴾2:5﴿ It is they who are upon
guidance from their Lord, and it is they who shall prosper.
Belief in the Unseen, with ‘Unseen’ capitalized to imply God and His angels, along with
the performance of daily prayer, the belief in the Hereafter, reverence, and belief in “what was
sent down to thee [the Prophet Muhammad] and before thee [the Prophet Muhammad],” mark
the six Articles of Faith in the Islamic tradition. The “Oneness of God”, tawhid (‫)توحيد‬
emphasizes the idea which is laid out in “The Testimony” of the Islamic faith known as the
Shahadah (‫ )الشهادة‬which states: “There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messanger of
God,” (‫)ال إله إال هللا محمد رسول هللا‬. The concept of tawhid (‫ )توحيد‬marks the first Article of Faith in
Islam and is part of the belief in the Unseen. This affirmation leads to the belief in the messages
of the prophets of God both past and present, as all of God’s prophets came with a message
Fazlur Rahman. “Some Key Ethical Concepts of the Qur’ān” The Journal of Religious Ethics Vol. 11, No. 2. 1983

which affirmed the Oneness of God: ﴾21:24﴿ “And We sent no messenger before thee, save that
We revealed unto him: ﴾21:25﴿ “Verily, there is no god but I, so worship Me!” The Qur’ān
emphasizes the importance of the worship of God as the singular and only omniscient being
throughout the Qur’ān and it explicitly states that God is the ‘One God’ (ٌ ‫احد‬
ِ ‫ )إِلَ ٰـهٌ َو‬in
approximately eleven different āyāt.10 In later suwar, the Qur’ān again reminds the reader of
what it describes as a true believer, such as in Sūrah al-Anfāl,’The Spoils’ (‫)سورة األنفال‬, āyāt two
through four, with these āyāt being similar to that of Sūrah al-Baqarah, āyāt two through five
stated earlier. However, these āyāt add a powerful image of the heart when it hears the Name of
God:
﴾8:2﴿ Only they are believers
whose hearts quake with fear when God is mentioned, and
when His signs are recited unto them they increase them in faith, and they trust in their
Lord, ﴾8:3﴿ those who perform the prayer and spend from that which We have provided
them. ﴾8:4﴿ It is they who truly are believers. For them are ranks in the sight of their Lord,
and forgiveness and a generous provision.
The heart (‫ )قلب‬in Classical Islamic thought is seen as the spiritual organ through which
an individual is able to understand the Spiritual Truth. The heart is considered the aspect of the
human being that is able to rationally perceive things, and is the primary organ used to call on
the Remembrance of God, dhikr (‫) ِذ ْکر‬.11 The heart of the believer is considered to be healthy, as
it is illuminated by the Light of God. The heart of the believer strives in the Way of God, to
reflect the perfection and beauty of the Unseen: ﴾64:11﴿ “No misfortune befalls, save by God’s
Leave. And whosoever believes in God, He guides his heart. And God is Knower of all things.”
It is those whose hearts that are guided by God that are content, patient, and grateful, which are
regarded as righteous characteristics of the believer.

The Hadith traditions exemplify saying of the Prophet which help define faith as it relates
to Islam. The definition of īmān (‫ )اإليمان‬is broken down by Muhammad in the Hadith of Gabriel,
where the Angel Gabriel asks the Prophet to define what it means to have faith and to believe.
The Prophet Muhammad then relays to Gabriel the Articles of Faith, which are a reflection of the
āyāt previously seen in Sūrah al-Baqarah, āyāt two through five:
He [Gabriel] said "Now tell me about faith." He [Muhammad] replied, "Faith means that
you have faith in God, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and that
you have faith in the measuring out, both its good and its evil."12
Faith in its most pure form is simply the belief in God and living in accordance with His
will. It is the belief in God and His angels, following the prophetic Sunnah and performing the
five daily prayers, belief in the Hereafter, having reverence, and acknowledging the Word of
God in scripture, both in the Qur’ān and in the revelations which came before it. Not believing in
all aspects of the Articles of Faith pulls the individuals heart farther from the pure remembrance
of God. When the early followers of Islam began to spread the message of God and individuals
and groups began claiming that they were believers of Islam, God sent an āyah stating to
Muhammad and the Muslim community, that there was a difference between submitting to God
and having faith in God:
﴾49:14﴿ The Bedouin
say, “We believe.” Say, “You believe not. Rather say, ‘We have
submitted,’ for belief has not yet entered your hearts. Yet if you obey God and His
Messenger, He will not diminish for you aught of your deeds. Truly God is Forgiving,
Merciful.”
For Murata and Chittick, this āyah is an example which outlines the separation between
the concepts of islām and īmān, in that one can practice in the way of God and submit, but if they
do not truly believe or have faith in God and submit for reasons outside of pure belief, the
12
Ibid, Pg. xxv.
8
individual is not truly having full belief in God.13 The Asbāb al-Nuzul of al-Wāhīdi states that the
Bedouin which the āyah addresses was of a clan called the Banu Asad ibn Khuzaymah, “They
declared themselves to be believers outwardly but disbelievers inwardly.”14 Submitting to God
and having faith in God having an overlapping message in some aspects, but in reality mark two
different aspects of belief in the Divine. Looking back at the Hadith of Gabriel, the Angel
Gabriel calls on Muhammad to tell him about what it means to submit. The Prophet is said to
have replied:
[…]“Submission means that you bear witness that there is no go but God and that
Muhammad is God’s Messanger, that you should perform the ritual prayer, pay the alms
tax, fast during Ramadan, and make pilgrimage to the House if you are able to God
there.”15
Compared to the section of the Hadith of Gabriel discussed at the beginning of this
chapter, one will find that the concept of islām encompasses more of the outward or physical
expressions of belief, while īmān focuses on the inner aspects of belief and the individual
spiritual journey of the believer. Submitting one’s self to God can be seen as the first step in the
spiritual journey, but the journey itself comes with the inner knowledge of the Truth and the
development of faith.
To believe then is to submit, to be grateful, to fear God, to actively seek God, and to
place God at the forefront of thought and action. It is through faith that one is able to act in the
Way of God and it is through faith that one is able to fulfill the pre-temporal covenant with God
and return to God in Paradise. The tests of life are what inevitably display ones devotion and

disposition to God, and it is how one acts in accord with faith in God that sets the believer apart
from the disbeliever.
Mu’min (‫) ُم ْؤ ِمن‬: Believer
Returning back to the Arabic root ‘‫ن‬-‫م‬-‫’أ‬, which we established as the root of derived
verbal forms meaning ‘to believe’ earlier in this chapter, the fourth verbal form ( َ‫ ) َءا َمن‬can be
used to create the active participle mu’min ‫ ُمؤْ ِمن‬, which translates to ‘possessing īmān’, i.e.
‘possessing faith’ or simply ‘a believer’. The twenty-third Sūrah entitled al-Muʾminūn, ‘The
Believers’ (‫)سورة المؤمنون‬, the Qur’ān gives a list of identifiable qualities of a pious believer:
﴾23:1﴿ Truly the believers
have prospered, ﴾23:2﴿ who are humble in their prayers, ﴾23:3﴿ and
who turn away from idle talk, ﴾23:4﴿ and who give the alms, ﴾23:5﴿ and who guard their
private parts, ﴾23:6﴿ save from their spouses, or those whom their right hands possess, for
then they are not blameworthy–– ﴾23:7﴿ and as for those who seek beyond that, it is they
who are transgressors— ﴾23:8﴿ and those who keep their trusts and their covenant, ﴾23:9﴿
and those who are mindful of their prayers: ﴾23:10﴿ It is they who are the heirs, ﴾23:11﴿ who
shall inherit Paradise, abiding therein.
Individuals who are humble in their prayers and submit themselves to God are considered
people who understand the truth of the Qur’ān and strive in the Way of God. They are able to
completely submit themselves to God, and recognize that God is the reason for their creation and
existence. The believer is completely humbled by their creation, and recognizes God as the only
truth and conduct themselves in a manner which coincides with the teaching of the Prophet
Muhammad and the Word of God itself. Tafsīr Tustarī explains that the believer is living their
life in accordance to scripture and are naturally humbled by the Creator:
Humble submission (khushūʿ) is openly [manifested] (ʿalāniyya). It is to stand before
God, Exalted is He, while maintaining the conditions for the finest conduct (ādāb)
required by the One who commands (al-Āmir), which is to purge your [moments of]
activity (ḥarakāt) and stillness (sukūn) from anything other than Him.16

Keeler and Ali Keeler (Amman: Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought, 2011), Pg. 135.
16
10
The finest conduct as stated by Tafsīr Tustarī, is a form of action expressed in other
Prophetic Sunnah when speaking of the behavior of the believer. The hadith collection Jāmic atTirmidhi, narrates that the Prophet Muhammad once stated that: "Nothing is heavier on the
believer's Scale on the Day of Judgment than good character. For indeed Allah, Most High, is
angered by the shameless obscene person."17 Being respectful and pious furthers the aspect of the
āyah which calls on the believer to turn away from idle talk, explained by Tafsīr al-Jalālayn as
the active role of the believer to shun vain speech and other nonsensical or obscene talk.18 The
Philosopher Al-Ghazālī addresses the importance of moral virtue in his work, The Alchemy of
Happiness, in which al-Ghazālī’s explains his idea of moral virtue as behavior that directly infers
from the striving to achieve a likeness to that of God, “The aim of moral discipline is to purify
the heart from the rust of passion and resentment, till, like a clear mirror, it reflects the light of
God.”19 If the soul is to “reflect the light of God” like “a clear mirror”, the individual must first
come to an understanding of what God is, and this can only be done through the guidance of the
prophetic Sunnah, but especially through studying and coming to understand the Word of God in
the Qur’ān.
Sūrah al-Muʾminūn (‫)سورة المؤمنون‬, āyāt one through eleven, also reiterates the importance
of paying the alms tax as is made mandatory by the Five Pillars of Islam, and speaks of the
importance of staying chaste before marriage. Sexual relations outside of marriage, zinā (‫)زنًا‬,
ِ is
considered an illicit sexual activity such as fornication and adultery. This belief coincides with
the rules laid out in the Jewish and Christian scriptures, and was particularly important within the
Jāmic at-Tirmidhi 2002, Vol. 4, Book 1, Hadith 2002, < http://sunnah.com/urn/673050>

early Muslim community in part because there was a major cultural emphasis in the Arab world
of being able to trace one’s lineage, though primarily is due to the belief that zinā leads to social
discord. For these reasons and those laid out in the Qur’ān, zinā was not tolerated from a
religious standpoint and is to be avoided by the believer.20
The Hadith tradition has a variety of recorded sayings which regard how the Prophet
Muhammad classified or described a believer. One such instance from Sahih Muslim, describes
an individual who is grateful, prosperous, and patient; the believer is an individual that no matter
what befalls them in life, they turn to God in praise:
The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "How wonderful is the case of a believer; there is good
for him in everything and this applies only to a believer. If prosperity attends him, he
expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he
endures it patiently and that is better for him".21
It is the believers’ absolute faith in God that conditions them for happiness, as they know
that obedience and piety inevitably lead them to be reunited with the Creator in the Hereafter.
The believer trusts in the guidance of God, and believes in the scripture and in God’s
Messengers. They strive in the Way of God and when they fall from the Way, they seek
forgiveness and repent for their deeds. As best stated by Muhammad Abdul Ḥaq, the believer is
unshakable in character and allows his belief in God to dominate the entirety of his life: “From
the absolute and uncompromising nature of Divine Unity springs the unshakable character of the
faith of a Muslim and an acute consciousness of it dominates his whole life. His faith is,
therefore, inaccessible to doubt and despair.”22 Further hadith reported in Sahih Muslim and

Sahih Bukari claim that hearing the Qur’ān from the mouth of the believer is far different from
hearing the Qur’ān from those who do not have full faith in God:
The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said, "The believer who recites the Qur'an is like a citron
whose fragrance is sweet and whose taste is delicious. A believer who does not recite the
Qur'an is like a date-fruit which has no fragrance but has a sweet taste. The hypocrite
who recites the Qur'an is like basil whose fragrance is so sweet, but its taste is bitter. The
hypocrite who does not recite the Qur'an is like a colocynth which has no fragrance and
its taste is bitter."23
The Word of God is seen as sweeter from the mouth of the believer because the
believer’s heart is in Remembrance of God. The believer who does not recite is believed to refer
to the individual who has submitted but has yet to truly have faith in the Qur’ān or strive in the
way of God. The hypocrite is in reference to the disbeliever, as their lack of connection with God
causes the Words of the Qur’ān to lose their beauty.
Analyzing what it is that defines faith and the believer puts in to context what the Qur’ān
recognizes as the way to become closer to God, and the characteristics of those who have either
achieved or are striving to achieve that closeness. Understanding what it is that makes the
believer will further the understanding of disbelief, since as previously stated the opposite of
belief is disbelief. With the believer and faith focusing on the striving in the Way of God, and
living as a reflection of this way, we can being to understand that the disbeliever does not strive
in the Way of God, and instead refuses to participate in the remembrance of Him.

Disbelief
﴾2:171﴿. The parable of those who disbelieve is that of one who cries to that which hears only a call and a shout. Deaf,
dumb, and blind, they do not understand.
According to the Sufī tradition, the Tafsīr tradition helps the individual to understand the
some of the deeper meanings of the Qur’ān: “[…] The Qur’ān contains many levels of meaning,
that man has the potential to uncover these meanings, and that the task of interpretation is
endless.”24 It is understood by Classical Islamic scholars from reading the Qur’ān, that each
āyah has a meaning derived from the most basic reading of the āyah, a number of more in-depth
meanings based on the reader and how the prophetic tradition tends to portray an āyah, and a
divine meaning which is said to be known by God and is the deepest form of understanding. In
order to fully contemplate and create a solid definition of what it means ‘to disbelieve’, this
chapter will use a number of tafsīr collections, as well as the Asbāb al-Nūzul, to form an
understanding of what actually characterizes disbelief and during what instances these
individuals were referred to as disbelievers.
To Disbelieve; To Deny (َ‫) َكفَ َر‬
The Arabic root ‘‫ر‬-‫ف‬-‫ ’ك‬is used in approximately two hundred and seventy-three āyāt in
the first verbal form is translated as ‘to disbelieve’, ‘to deny’, or ‘to be ungrateful’ (‫) َكفَ َر‬. Denial
24
Kristin Zahra Sands. Ṣūfī Commentaries on the Qur’ān in Classical Islam (New York: Routledge, 2006), Pg. 7.
14
and disbelief both give the meaning, from a religious context, that to disbelieve is to deny God,
whether it be through ignorance or purposeful refusal. According to Toshuiko Izutsu the root ‘-‫ك‬
‫ر‬-‫’ف‬, even before it is used in its various grammatical forms, has a philosophical meaning
implying ignorance and ungratefulness:
The basic meaning of the root KFR, as far as our philosophical knowledge goes, is most
probably that of ‘covering’. In contexts concerned especially with the bestowing and
receiving of benefits, the word naturally comes to mean ‘to cover, i.e. to ignore
knowingly, the benefits which one has received’, and thence, ‘to be unthankful.’25
The first āyah which refers to the disbeliever in the Qur’ān appears in the second Surah
entitled al-Baqarah, “The Cow” (‫)سورة البقرة‬, āyah six, which speaks of the unwillingness and
implied ungratefulness of the disbeliever towards the words of God, “Truly it is the same for the
disbelievers (‫ ) َكفَ ُروا‬whether thou warnest them or warnest them not; they do not believe ﴾2:6﴿.”
Sūrah al-Baqarah (‫ )سورة البقرة‬is a Surah which is believed to have been revealed during the
Madinan period and according to al-Wāhīdi’s Asbab al-Nuzul, the disbelievers of which the āyah
refers has two potential specified groups of individuals. The first interpretation addresses the idea
that ‘the disbelievers’ as stated in the āyah, refer to the major figureheads of the Quraysh tribe in
the city of Mecca from which the Prophet Muhammad and his companions had just escaped in
their emigration to Madinah.26 Tafsīr al-Jalālayn supports this first interpretation and states the
āyah refers to “Abū Jahl, Abū Lahab and such,” with Abū Jahl being the pagan nephew and
successor of a clan chief in Mecca,27 and Abū Lahab who was a pagan uncle of the Prophet
Muhammad and who believed that his nephew was a deceiver:28

As for the disbelievers, the likes of Abū Jahl, Abū Lahab and such; alike it is for them
whether you have warned them or have not warned them, they do not believe, as God
knows very well, so do not hope that they will believe.29
In this instance, the tafsir draws on the occasions surrounding the time that the āyah was
revealed to understand what the Prophet meant when speaking of the disbelievers. The second
instance according to the Asbāb al-Nuzūl claims that the Prophet Muhammad meant the Jewish
people and tribes of Madinah as opposed to the pagan leaders of Mecca. Tafsīr Ibn 'Abbās
describes the disbelievers in Sūrah al-Baqarah (‫)سورة البقرة‬, only as those “who remain firm in
their disbelief,”30 while the Laṭā’if al-Ishārāt by al-Qushayrī states that the disbelievers are:
“Those who are veiled by the covering of their own qualities are kept from witnessing His
truth.”31 Unlike the first instance of the specified Meccan pagans given in the Asbāb al-Nuzūl,
the suggestions of the Jewish people being the specific disbelievers of this āyah is not as
supported within the tafsīr tradition. The concept of the Jewish people as the disbelievers in this
āyah can be seen as a contradiction of other Qur’ān āyāt which will be analyzed in a later
chapter.
Since the believer is someone who turns their heart and eyes toward God in remembrance
and gratefulness, the disbeliever should then be seen as one who turns their heart from God,
ungrateful in their refusal to remember. Sūrah al-Ḥajj, ‘the Pilgrimage’ (‫)سورة الحج‬, āyah twentyfive, acknowledges the concept to the disbelievers turning from the Way of God, but furthers the
definition by also stating that they turn away from the Sacred Mosque, the Ka’ba:
﴾22:25﴿ Truly those
who disbelieve and turn from the way of God, and the Sacred Mosque
which We have appointed for mankind—equal are those who dwell there and those who

come from abroad—whosoever desires to deviate wrongfully therein, We shall cause him
to taste a painful punishment.
For this particular āyah, Al-Wāhidī leaves no account in the Asbāb al-Nuzūl for a
particular event or group of individuals to which the Qur’ān is referring. Tafsīr Jalālayn is also
vague with regard to the disbeliever for this āyah, however he does clarify that the Way of God
which the disbeliever turns away from is the obedience to God, narrowing it down a little more
to at least the pagan Arabs. Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās explains that in this instance it referred to a
companion of the prophet prior to embracing Islam:
[…]the reference here is to Abu Sufyan-this happened before he embraced Islam-and his
host (and bar (men) from the way of Allah) and drive people away from Allah's religion
and obedience (and from the Inviolable Place of Worship) and bar Muhammad (pbuh) on
the year of al-Hudaybiyyah from performing the lesser and greater pilgrimage in the
Sacred Precinct (which We have appointed) as a Sacred Precinct and Qiblah (for
mankind together, the dweller therein and the nomad) the dweller therein and the
strangers are equal in it.32
To disbelieve in this instance is seen as one who worships a polytheistic traditon, and in
particular a polytheist who drives others away from the Word of God. This is a common theme
among āyāt of the Qur’ān involving disbelief and the disbeliever, however there are also
instances in which it is not just the polytheistic pagan Arabs which are said to have disbelieved,
but also referencing disbelievers among the People of the Book. As seen in Sūrah al-Baqarah,
āyah twenty-six:
﴾2:26﴿ Truly God
is not ashamed to set forth a parable of a gnat or something smaller, As
for those who believe, they know it is the truth from their Lord, and as for those who
disbelieve, they say, “What did God mean by this parable?” He misleads many by it, and
He guides many by it, and He misleads none but the iniquitous.
This particular āyah has two occasions in which this āyāt was believed to have been
revealed according to al-Wāhidī. The first occasion states that the āyah was revealed in the
regard to the Jews who did not believe that the āyah was a true revelation. Those disbelievers
32
Ibn ‘Abbās and al-Firūzabādī. Tanwīr al-Miqbās min Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās. Trans. Guezzou, pg. 366.
17
who questioned the parable of the gnat in this particular instance are the Jews: “Al-Hasan and
Qatadah said: “When Allah mentioned gnats and spiders in His Book and used them to coin
similitudes for the disbelievers, the Jews laughed and said: 'this does not resemble Allah's
speech', and so Allah revealed this verse.””33 The Jews and the Christians are both considered
among believers and disbelievers due to a number of conflicting āyāt of the Qur’ān, and in this
āyah their disbelief stems from their refusal to believe in the Word of God that was the ‘parable
of a gnat’. The other occasion mentioned by al-Wāhidī gives the action of disbelief to the
Meccan pagans, similar to what was explained in the commentary of Sūrah al-Ḥajj (‫)سورة الحج‬,
āyah twenty-five. Al-Wāhidī is not specific in this instance of which individuals he is referring
to, but instead refers to the group or population in a more broad sense by stating “the idolaters”:
[…] “This is because Allah mentioned the deities of the idolaters, saying: (And if the fly
took something from them, they could not rescue it from him) [22:73]. He also mentioned
the scheme of the deities and compared it to cobweb. Upon hearing this, they said: 'See
how Allah mentions gnats and spiders in the Qur'an revealed to Muhammad; what is the
use of this?' And so Allah revealed this.”34
To disbelieve then seems to primarily focus on idol worship and polytheism, though
instances of the Jews and Christians are also prone to exhibiting characteristics of disbelief. It is
the rejection of the message revealed by the Prophet Muhammad which in this instance,
identifies those who disbelieve.
To Absolve (َ‫) َكفَّ َر‬
The second verbal form of the root ‘‫ر‬-‫ف‬-‫’ك‬, ‫ َكفَّ َر‬meaning ‘to absolve,’ is used
approximately fourteen times, and is used in every instance as God absolving an individual of
‘evil deeds’35 or ‘the worst of that which they have done.’36 The use of this verb always

36

translated as ‘to absolve’ in The Study Qur’ān and in other translations of the Qur’ān as ‘to
remove.’ When it comes to defining disbelief, it is important to note that a believer cannot be a
disbeliever at the same time. This forgiveness of ‘evil deeds’ for which the use of ‘to absolve’ is
used only in regard to believers, gives the reader the impression that characteristics of the
disbeliever, or ‘evil deeds,’ if they were to be done by the believer, have the ability to be
absolved through seeking forgiveness with God. A case in which the second verbal form is used
with regard to absolving something which is outside of the belief of Islam can be seen in the fifth
Sūrah al-Māʾidah, ‘The Table Spread’ (‫)سورة المائدة‬, āyah sixty-five, in which God states that the
People of the Book could have been forgiven of their ‘evil deeds’ had they believed in the
message of the Prophet Muhammad: ﴾5:65﴿ “Had the People of the Book believed and been
reverent, We would surely have absolved them of their evil deeds, and caused them to enter
Gardens of bliss.” In this instance, God tells the Jews and the Christians that had they embraced
Muhammad and the Qur’ān He would forgive them for not following the laws which He set
forth, or forgive them for not following through with their obligations they agreed to in the
covenant made with God in their primordial state.
When the Qur’ān uses the verb ‘to absolve’ it is used in every instance to the believer.
For those who are truly faithful and believe, they can never be considered disbelievers. They
may fault in their daily life, but if they seek forgiveness for those faults they are absolved of their
fault. This is seen in Sūrah al-Anfāl, āyah twenty-nine: ﴾8:29﴿ “O you who believe! If you
reverence God, He will make for you a criterion, and absolve you of your evil deeds, and forgive
you. And God is Possessed of Tremendous Bounty.” Tafsīr Tustarī describes that the reverence
of God and his granting of a criterion, is that of helping the believer distinguish between truth
and falsehood: “That is, a light in religion, by which [you can distinguish] between truth and
19
falsehood in doubtful matters.”37 The believer is therefore able to distinguish between truth and
falsehood, which is not the case for the disbeliever who is only aware of falsehood. This
disbeliever is then seen as unguided by the Light of God, and unable to become absolved of their
deeds on the Day of Judgement.
To be Ungrateful (َ‫)أ َ ْكفَ َر‬
The fourth verbal form of the root ‘‫ر‬-‫ف‬-‫’ك‬, ‫ أ َ ْكفَ َر‬translated as ‘to be ungrateful,’38 is used
only once in the eightieth Sūrah ‘Abasa, ‘He Frowned’ (‫)سورة عبس‬, āyah seventeen: ﴾80:17﴿
“Perish man! How ungrateful is he!” The Asbāb al-Nuzūl by al-Wāhidī explains that the entire
Sūrah was based off of an event in which the Prophet Muhammad was speaking to 'Utbah ibn
Rabi'ah, Abu Jahl ibn Hisham, 'Abbas ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib, and Ubayy and Umayyah the sons of
Khalaf, in an attempt to get them to embrace Islam. During the meeting, the Prophet Muhammad
was asked by ‘Abdallāh ibn Umm Maktūm, a blind man and soon after this occasion one of the
first people to embrace the religion of Islam, to tell him of the message which God had given to
Muhammad. The Prophet turned away from ‘Abdallāh ibn Umm Maktūm to the group of
Meccan pagans, and the Surah was revealed as a form of chastisement of the Prophet teaching
the Message of God to those who did not care, while turning away a man who sought to
understand and know God’s Message.39 According to Tafsīr al-Jalālayn, āyah seventeen of
Sūrah ‘Abasa (‫)سورة عبس‬, speaks of the disbelieving pagans when it states “Perish man!” and
sees them as ungrateful for turning away and not believing in the Word of God. 40 The refusal to
hear or believe in the Word of God from His Messenger is the reason why the disbeliever is
considered ungrateful.

The one-hundred and ninth Sūrah of the Qur’ān entitled ‘The Disbelievers’, al-Kāfirūn
(‫)سورة الكافرون‬, consists of six āyāt which affirm belief and negate disbelief, showing that those
who believe do not believe what those who disbelieve believe:
﴾109:1﴿ Say,
“O disbelievers! ﴾109:2﴿ I worship not what you worship; ﴾109:3﴿ nor are you
worshippers of what I worship; ﴾109:4﴿ nor am I a worshipper of what you worship; ﴾109:5﴿
nor are you worshippers of what I worship. ﴾109:6﴿ Unto you your religion, and unto me
my religion.”
According to the Asbāb al-Nuzūl, the āyāt of Sūrah al-Kāfirūn (‫)سورة الكافرون‬, were
revealed following a conversation between the Prophet Muhammad and the Meccan pagans in
which they told the prophet that they would worship the God of Islam for a year on the condition
that he worship their idols.41 The āyāt reiterate the fact that the religion of the Prophet
Muhammad is a religion that is not like that of the religion of the disbelievers, while affirming
that both the Prophet Muhammad and the Muslim community will never worship the idols of the
pagan Meccans, and that they may continue in their disbelief and idol worship while the Prophet
and his followers would continue their worship of the singular Omniscient God.42 This final āyah
of this Surah which basically states that the disbeliever can continue to worship as he will, is
later negated by an āyah which has been entitled “The Verse of the Sword”, Sūrah ‘The
Repentance’, al-Tawbah (‫)سورة التوبة‬, āyāh five:43
﴾9:5﴿ Then,
when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wheresoever you find
them, capture them, besiege them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush. But
if they repent, and perform the prayer and give the alms, then let them go their way. Truly
God is Forgiving, Merciful.
Though this āyah is said to have negated Sūrah al-Kāfirūn (‫)سورة الكافرون‬, āyah six, Tafsīr
Ibn ‘Abbās states that the section of Sūrah al-Tawbah (‫)سورة التوبة‬, āyah five that’s says “slay the

21
idolaters,” the idolaters in this instance refers to those “who treaty is for fifty days,”44 and does
not necessarily mean idolaters in general. Since the term disbeliever is not only attributed to idol
worship or paganism, the entirety of Sūrah al-Kāfirūn (‫ )سورة الكافرون‬should be seen as
circumstantial to the Meccan pagans, and not to all individuals who do not believe in Islam. The
negation of the āyah should therefore only be applicable if the disbelievers addressed in Sūrah
al-Kāfirūn are only the disbelieving Meccan pagans.
To disbelieve then is to be a denier of the Light of God, ungrateful toward God’s
Messages and His messengers, and an individual unable to be absolved or forgive by God. From
the āyāt of the Qur’ān we can decisively state that there are a number of instances of disbelief
among the People of the Book in the Qur’ān, while the pagans of the Arabian Peninsula who
lived during the time of the Prophet Muhammad lived in a constant state of disbelief.

III
Characteristics of the Disbeliever
﴾2:17﴿ Their parable is that of one who kindled a fire, and when it lit up around him God took away their light, and
left them in darkness unseeing. ﴾2:18﴿ Deaf, dumb, and blind, they return not.
Having analyzed what it means to believe and how the verb to disbelieve is used, the next
question which must be answered is who are the disbelievers and how does the Qur’ān view
them in relation to God? A number of books have been written by Islamic Philosophers that look
at characteristics of God and in return what ideologies and characteristics make up the
disbeliever. When it comes to distinguishing the difference between the believer and the
disbeliever in the Qur’ān, a number of images and metaphors are used for the reader to get a
clearer understanding of what characteristics separate the two major categories of individuals.
The believer strives to live their life in the Way of God, while the disbeliever rejects the Message
of God and His Messengers. In the āyāt of the Qur’ān which regard God, the prophets, the
believers and the disbelievers, there can be found allegories of veiling, darkness, covering, light,
and disease within the heart. In the Islamic Mystical Tradition, known as Sufism, the concept of
‘light’ as a metaphor of God is a deeply contemplated concept which has been studied primarily
within the Sufi tradition.
23
Veiled, Blinded, Deaf, and Dumb
When the Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation from the Angel Gabriel in the
cave of Mount Hira, the prophet ran home in disbelief telling his wife to “cover me” feeling for
certain that he had been possessed by jinn or become insane. It was not until Khadijah removed
his cloak and convinced him of his place as a messenger of God that he was able to recognize the
truth of the angel’s words and begin to fulfill the path that God set before him.45 Like the later
followers of the Muslim community, when Muhammad heard and believed in the words
delivered by the Angel Gabriel, he was unveiled from jāhiliyya (‫)جاهلية‬, the state and time of
ignorance, and came to know the Truth that was brought to him by God.
The Qur’ān provides a number of defining characteristics for both the believer and the
disbeliever in an attempt to help the reader get a better grasp on how to not only live in
accordance with the Word of God, but to outline what marks specific traits of those who do not
truly live in accordance with the Islamic faith. Disbelief is marked by characteristics in which
they have removed them of their senses, such as in Sūrah al-Baqarah, “The Cow” (‫)سورة البقرة‬,
āyāt seventeen and eighteen: ﴾2:17﴿ “Their [the disbelievers’] parable is that of one who kindled a
fire, and when it lit up around him God took away their light, and left them in darkness unseeing.
﴾2:18﴿ Deaf,
dumb, and blind, they return not.” The individual who disbelievers is left ‘blind’,
‘deaf’ and ‘dumb’, which according to Jalāl al-Dīn Al-Suyūṭī and Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī, in
Tafsīr al-Jalālayn, marks a total inability to recognize the omnipotence of God, “Deaf, to the
truth, so that they cannot hear it and accept it; dumb, mute as regards goodness, unable to speak
of it; and, blind, to the path of guidance, so that they cannot perceive it; they shall not return,
from error.”46 The individuals described by this āyah and its tafsīr, seem to be in a state that is
45

See Martin Lings, Muhammad: His Life Based on the Earliest Sources, (Rochester: Inner Traditions, 2006).
Al-Suyūṭī and al-Maḥallī. Tafsīr al-Jalālayn. Trans. Hamza. Pg. 23.
24
unchangeable, as the individuals cannot cure their inability to see, hear, or speak, and exists
solely based on how they were created. In contrast to the permanent state of being “deaf, dumb,
and blind” is the concept of being ‘veiled’ or ‘covered’. The use of the verb ‘to cover’ is used
with regard to the disbelievers’ sight, hearing, and heart and is used frequently in other Qur’ān
āyāt. The concept of ‘covering’ goes back to the philosophical meaning of the root ‘‫ر‬-‫ف‬-‫ ’ك‬as
shown earlier by Izutsu, alluding to the concept of disbelief as ‘to knowingly ignore’ or reject the
truth. The Qur’ān also alludes to God placing a covering over those who do not believe, placing
it over the heart, implying that the individual is not actively participating in the remembrance of
God: ﴾17:47﴿ “And We have placed coverings over their hearts, such that they understand not, and
in their ears a deafness. And whenever thou dost mention thy Lord alone in the Quran, they turn
their backs in aversion.” Similar to this āyah, the Qur’ān presents a number of āyāt which place a
veil or covering over the heart of the disbeliever as well as the eyes. Though the eyes and the
heart are different aspects of the person, the implied meaning for both is a disconnection with
God and being consumed by the darkness.
The Qur’ān further emphasizes the removal of God’s light outside of the use of the veil
and covering, and instead uses darkness itself. There is a potential for the interpretation that the
disbelievers spoken about with regard to a veil or covering are those that will never see the light
through the veil, while those living in darkness may one day come across the light, i.e. their
heart, could potentially participate in the Remembrance of God. In Sūrah al-Baqarah (‫)سورة البقرة‬,
āyāt nineteen and twenty, the Qur’ān composes a vivid image of stormy skies and again uses the
senses to explain the state of the disbeliever before God:
﴾2:19﴿ Or a cloudburst
from the sky, in which there is darkness, thunder, and lightning.
They put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps, fearing death. And God
encompasses the disbelievers. ﴾2:20﴿ The lightning all but snatches away their sight.
Whenever it shines for them they walk therein, and when darkness comes over them they
25
halt. Had God willed, He would have taken away their hearing and their sight. Truly God
is Powerful over all things.
The imagery of these āyāt provides both a basic and more in-depth allegory to the place
of the disbeliever before God. The noise of the thunder has the disbeliever covering their ears,
and only when the light of the lightning shines in the darkness is the disbeliever able to see; yet
when the light is no longer present, the individual is unable to move forward from loss of sight.
The individual is left in darkness, fearing death due to the sound of the thunder. Tafsīr alJalālayn elaborates that the cloudburst is layers of darkness enshrouding the individual standing
in the rain, with the sound of thunder representing the voice of angel in charge of the clouds, and
the flash of light representing the element which coerces the individual forward.47 This use of
darkness and light is a common allegory used in a number of āyāt in the Qur’ān, most notably in
Sūrah al-Nūr, "The Light" (‫)سورة النور‬, āyāh thirty-five, which is commonly referred to by
Qur’ānic scholars as ‘the Light Verse’, as it compares God to light:
﴾24:35﴿ God
is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The parable of His Light is a niche,
wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as a shining star kindled from a
blessed olive tree, neither of the East nor of the West. Its oil would well-nigh shine forth,
even if no fire had touched it. Light upon light. God guides unto His Light whomsoever
He will, and God sets forth parables for mankind, and God is Knower of all things.
The word ‘light’ (‫ )نُور‬is used in thirty-six āyāt of the Qur’ān and is always used in the
ُ ), is used in twenty-one āyāt of the
singular form.48 Interestingly, the word for darkness (‫ظلُ َمات‬
Qur’ān and is always used in its plural form, never in the singular, though it is generally
translated into English as ‘darkness’ and not ‘darknesses.’49 Though it is not mentioned in the

form, furthers the allusion of God to light as singular and guiding, while also alluding to the
darkness as the pluralistic aspect of the pagan faith and as the opposite of God, keeping the
disbeliever from seeing the path laid before him. Since darkness can be explained as the opposite
of light, it therefore can be seen as being an opposite of God. “The action of the light makes the
arising of the shadow possible and the shadow is thus a reflection, in some sense, of its source;
but, in another sense, the shadow is other than, indeed has qualities opposite to, its source.”50
Without light one cannot understand darkness, just as without God and the Qur’ān an individual
cannot know what actions and beliefs go against the Will of God. Unlike God who is the Light of
this world, darkness represents the lack of belief in God. It is the Light of God which resides in
the heart of the believer and thus guides the believer to live in accordance with the Way of God,
“Light, by Him, upon light, by fire; the light of God is His guidance of the believer, light upon
the light of faith. God guides to His Light, that is, [to] the religion of Islam, whom He will.”51
By stating that “God guides to His Light […] whom He will,” the impression is given that God
both brings people to His Light, yet at the same time pushes away from the light whom He will.
Since God is omniscient and nothing can happen outside of the Will of God, it is interesting to
note that God then denies people His ‘Light’ and does not make everyone believe. It is this
division of those who are willing to accept the Light of God and those who are unwilling to
accept it, which divides the pious from the ignorant.
The Qur’ān further states that those who can ‘see’ and those who are ‘blind’ to the light
are not considered equal in the eyes of God, as in Sūrah Fāţir, “the Originator” (‫)سورة فاطر‬, āyāt
nineteen and twenty: ﴾35:19﴿ “Not equal are the blind and the seeing, ﴾35:19﴿ nor the darkness and

the light.” The Qur’ān itself is said to be a book which prepares the believer for death, so it
comes as no surprise that those who believe in God’s Message and His Messenger will be seen
as superior to those who failed to recognize or accept the Words of God when they had been
shown the Qur’ān. This idea is further illustrated looking back at Surah al-Baqarah, āyah 19,
where is states, “[…] they put their fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps, fearing death.”
The disbeliever covers their ears to the Word of God, avoiding His Message, and in doing so not
just “fearing death” due to the thunderclaps, but fearing death due to the refusal to listen to the
Words of God and in doing so, not preparing themselves for their inevitable judgement on the
Day of Judgement.
A theme used in the Qur’ān when referencing both light, darkness, and disbelief, is the
concept that the disbeliever is willingly ‘blinding’ himself from bearing witness to God and
refusing to believe. The Qur’ān also takes it a step further in asserting that the disbeliever may
try to lure the believer into a state of damnation by convincing the believer to no longer believe
in God. Sūrah ‘The Repentance’, al-Tawbah (‫)سورة التوبة‬, āyah thirty-two, states that the
disbeliever desires to stop the “Light of God” through lies told to the believer: ﴾9:32﴿ “They desire
to extinguish the Light of God with their mouths. But God refuses to do aught but complete His
Light, though the disbelievers be averse.” Tafsīr al-Jalālayn explains that the extinguishing of
God’s Light with their mouths is based on the disbelievers’ attempts to remove God’s Laws and
His proofs in scripture, and by slandering the Name of God before the believers.52 Al-Wāhidī
does not specify the occasion from which the āyah was revealed, leaving the implied
understanding of the disbeliever slandering the name of God to be of disbelievers in general and
not referring to a specified group.

According to the Sufi philosopher Ibn al-‘Arabī, the concept of the use of the term ‘light’
in the Qur’ān is synonymous with God, but it is his belief that in order for an individual to ‘see’
the ‘light,’ one must first ‘see’ darkness:
As the divine light, wujūd has certain characteristics in common with physical light,
which is a single, invisible reality through which all colors, shapes and objects are
perceived. To the objection that light is not invisible but visible, one can reply that light
in itself is invisible. Only when it is mixed with darkness can it be seen. Pure unmixed
light would annihilate the universe, just as the light of the sun would instantly blind us if
we looked at it without the veil of the atmosphere, not to mention the veil of distance.53
For the early Muslim community it would not have been difficult to understand the
darkness, because it was not until Muhammad delivered the revelation of the Qur’ān to the
people of Mecca and Madinah that they were able to come out of the darkness and embrace the
Light of God. Understanding the darkness would have also been important to understanding the
laws set forth by the Qur’ān, as referencing the concepts during the time of jahilliyah would have
created contrast between what is right and what is wrong. The same contrast would be present in
understanding what it means to live a pious and grateful existence, as opposed to a life of an
ingrate.
The use of the light allegory is also used in reference to the Prophet Muhammad, though
instead of the term ‘light’ specifically, the Prophet is referred to as a ‘luminous lamp’ in Surah
Al-'Aĥzāb, “The Combined Forces” (‫)سورة األحزاب‬: ﴾33:45﴿ “O Prophet! Truly We have sent thee as
a witness, as a bearer of glad tidings, and as a warner, ﴾33:46﴿ as one who calls unto God by His
leave, and as a luminous lamp.” Since God is the ‘light’ and Muhammad is the ‘lamp’, it can be
imagined that the Prophet Muhammad, like the lamp that contains the flame, is the physical
bearer of the ‘light’ that is God. According to the philosopher Mullā Ṣadrā Shīrāzī, the Prophet
William C. Chittick. Imaginal Worlds: Ibn al-‘Arabī and the Problem of Religious Diversity (Albany: State
University of New York Press, 1994), pg. 16.

Muhammad is representative of the glass of the lamp through which we are able to see the Light
of God:
That which corresponds to the glass of this light [364] is Muhammad the Messenger of
God […] For it is not possible to witness the light of Divine Unity owing to its great
intensity and power, which subjugates the insights and overwhelms the reasons except
from behind the veil of the Muḥammadan glass, for it is through him that the lamp of
light of the Sublime is recognized before the dawn of its manifestation.54
As the Messenger of God and the Seal of the Prophets, Muhammad being represented as
the ‘glass of the lamp’ or physical being which houses the Light of God, would come as no
surprise to most Muslims. Muhammad is the deliverer of the Revelation and an exemplary
individual, whose character is said to be a direct embodiment of the Qur’ān. Since Muhammad’s
heart is in direct communication with God through the Revelation, it can be understood that
Muhammad as the glass of the lamp which holds the light, is literally and metaphorically the
protector and preserver of the Light of God.
In the Niche of Lights, by philosopher Abû Ḥâmid Muḥammad Al-Ghazālī, Al-Ghazālī
turns to the Light Verse to obtain an understanding of the human soul and its relation to God.
David Buchman notes that Al-Ghazālī is able to deduce that the layers outside of the ‘Light’ that
is God represent the five perceptual faculties of the human soul:
In this case the lamp, the niche, the glass, the tree, and the olive of the Light Verse are all
visible, existent things whose characteristics point to the attributes of these five faculties:
senses, imagination, reflection, the rational faculty, and the prophetic faculty. 55
Similarly to Mullā Ṣadrā Shīrāzī, Al-Ghazālī views each aspect of the lamp as
corresponding to the varied levels of spiritual understanding and fulfillment. All faculties bring
the individual closer to God, just as layer by layer, going through each element of the lamp, you

eventually reach the flame, just as through striving the believer is able to become illuminated by
the Light of God.
When it comes to seeing the ‘light’ and the ‘darkness’, Al-Ghazālī explains that the eye
of the human being has seven major imperfections. The first is that the eye cannot see itself, the
second is that the eye cannot see that which is extremely far or extremely close, the third is that
the eye cannot see behind veils, the fourth is that the eye can only perceive the manifest
dimensions, the fifth is that the eye can only see some existent things, the sixth is that the eye
cannot see that which is infinite, and the seventh is that the eye perceives large things as being
small.56 The third imperfection which references the eyes’ inability to see behind veils, is later
addressed in the Niche of Lights as being a concept in which three categories of humanity tend to
arise: those who are veiled by sheer darkness, those who are veiled by both light and darkness,
and those veiled by sheer lights.57
According to Al-Ghazālī, those who are veiled by sheer darkness are those individuals
who do not recognize God and who are centered on this physical dimension, with no further
contemplation of death, “They are the atheists, those who do not have faith in God and the Last
Day. They love life in this world more than the next world because they do not have faith in the
next world at all.”58 Al-Ghazālī uses the word ‘atheist’ (‫الحدة‬
ِ ‫ )ال َم‬in this section which is not used
in the Qur’ān at any point to describe a particular individual or group, although the verb however
from the way in which he uses the term ‘atheist’, it can be assumed that the definition is similar
to that of ‘disbeliever’ (‫)كافر‬. Al-Ghazālī’s explanation that the ‘atheists’ are “those who do not
have faith in God and the Last Day,” so it may not specifically mean those who are completely

57
31
godless, and may instead mean those who do not believe in the Omniscient God, which differs
slightly from the modern use of the term ‘atheist.’
Of the group of individuals who are veiled in sheer darkness, are those who search for
meaning in the world around them, and those that do not. For those that search for meaning, as
Al-Ghazālī explains, they do not look for causation outside of the physical and simply conclude
that it is all of a ‘natural’ doing. In giving causation for ‘nature’ the individuals are left without
true understanding, “They have no awareness of themselves and of what proceeds from them,
and they have no light perceptible to outward eye sight.”59 The lack of light alludes to the lack of
guidance, and for the individual veiled in sheer darkness there is no guidance. The complete lack
of God in the life of the atheist is what inevitably will lead them to the fire. They do not seek
God and God does not seek them. Their life is centered on the caprice mentioned in the Qur’ān:
﴾25:54﴿ “Hast
thou considered the one who takes his caprice as his god? Wouldst thou be a
guardian over him? ﴾25:44﴿ Or do you suppose that most of them hear or understand? Truly they
are but as cattle. Nay, they are further astray from the way.” The one veiled in sheer darkness is
so far from the Way, that there is no hope for them in the Hereafter.
The second classification of veiling belongs to those who are veiled by both light and
darkness. This second classification consists of three groups, with the first being idol worshipers
who do not who does not focus on his own soul and fails to strive to understand the knowledge
of God.60 Unlike those veiled in complete darkness, Al-Ghazālī states that they have, at a very
basic level, understanding of a higher power who is greater than themselves but they affix this
power and the attributes of God to idols essentially keeping them in the darkness.61 Still within
59
Al-Ghazālī, Niche of lights, Pg. 45.

32
this second classification is a group categorized by to Al-Ghazālī as a specific group of Turks
that exclusively worships people and objects based on characteristics of beauty.62 Al-Ghazālī
believes that they are more able to observe light than those who worship idols but their senses
are still covered in darkness.63 Further groups within the classification of those who are veiled by
both light and darkness, are those which slowly begin to see more light as they work their way
from the darkness of idol worship, to those who see some light which Al-Ghazālī calls ‘the
dualists’:
Hence, they worship unlimited light, which brings together all the lights of the world.
They suppose that this is the lord of the world and that all good things are ascribed to it.
Then they saw that there is evil in the world, [and] they did not consider it beautiful to
ascribe it to their lord, declaring him devoid of evil. Thus, they set up a struggle between
their lord and darkness, and they turn the world over to light and darkness.64
This group is considered closer to possibly coming to see the Light of God according to
Al-Ghazālī, however they are still far from submitting or opening their hearts to the Truth.
The second group within this second classification representing those who are veiled by
both darkness and light are those who have been veiled by the darkness of imagination. These
are individuals who are able to look past the sensory objects of the mortal state, but are unable to
fully imagine, and thus are unable to contemplate what makes up the Unseen.65 The final group
within this category are those who are veiled in the divine Light of God, but are veiled by a dark
and corrupt comparison, in which they worship an existent being which can be described using
Al-Ghazālī states: “The second company of people are a community of the furthest Turks. They have neither a
religious creed nor a revealed law, and they believe firmly that they have a lord and that he is the most beautiful of
things…” Niche of Lights, Pg. 48.

the senses.66 The final classification of veiling is of those who are veiled in sheer light, and it is
those individuals who are able to recognize God as the perfect and absolute being.67
The inevitable understanding of veiling and of the conditions of deafness, dumbness, and
blindness relates back to the “Light Verse”, in that when one does not open oneself up or shields
themselves from the Light of God, the individual is left in a place of non-fulfillment. Without
God the disbeliever is not guided, and without guidance the disbeliever cannot fulfill his
covenant with God, due to his ignorance and ungratefulness.
The Heart of the Disbeliever
In the first chapter of this thesis, the characteristics of the heart of the believer were
briefly discussed in which the heart was described as the “illuminating light of God.” Much like
the aspect of light and darkness discussed in the veiling of the disbeliever, the heart of the
disbeliever is stated by the Qur’ān to reflect no light, and describes it as dark and diseased: ﴾2:10﴿
“In their hearts is a disease, and God has increased them in disease. Theirs shall be a painful
punishment for having lied.” Since the heart is the spiritual organ, the only conclusion which can
be drawn with regard to the heart of the disbeliever is that it is filled with darkness and is unable
to recognize or act in the remembrance of God.
There are a number of instances in the prophetic Sunnah that discuss the bleak state of the
heart of the disbeliever and further warn the believer to recognize those hearts which do not
participate in the remembrance of God. Sūrah al-Kahf, ‘The Cave’ (‫)سورة الكهف‬, āyah twentyeight, which calls on the believer to have patience with those whose hearts are in remembrance
66
67
Ibid, Pg. 49-48.
Ibid, 49-50.
34
with God and while warning them to take no direction from those whose hearts do not recognize
God:
﴾18:28﴿ Make thy soul
patient with those who call upon their Lord morning and evening,
desiring His Face. Turn not thine eyes away from them, desiring the adornment of the life
of this world, nor obeying one whose heart We have made heedless of the remembrance
of Us and who follows his caprice and whose affair exceeds the bounds.
The understanding of this āyah according to Tafsīr Ibn 'Abbās, is that when speaking of
individuals who follow their caprices, the āyah references the idol worship of the pagan Arabs,68
which is confirmed by Tafsīr Jalālayn: “This was ‘Uyayna b. Hisn and his companions — and
who follows his own whim, by attributing partners [to God], and whose conduct is [mere]
prodigality, excess.”69 This is important to note for discerning what the Qur’ān categorizes as a
disbeliever and as one whose heart is not connected to God. Though it is without doubt that the
pagan Arabs of the Arabian peninsula were considered disbelievers, the āyah does not include
any other religious groups, such as the Jewish and Christians tribes known to have been in
contact with the early Muslim population, in this particular instance.
Similar to the concept of being veiled, the term ‘sealed’ is used with regard to the heart of
the disbeliever. For those who prefer the sensory aspects of life and ignore the eternal growth of
the soul Sūrah al-Naḥl, ‘the Bee’ (‫)سورة النحل‬, āyat one-hundred and seven and one-hundred and
eight, states that the heart, hearing, and the seeing of the disbelievers have been sealed: ﴾16:107﴿
“That
is for their having preferred the life of this world to the Hereafter. And surely God guides
not disbelieving people. ﴾16:108﴿ It is they on whose hearts God has placed a seal, and on their
hearing and their seeing. It is they who are heedless.”

35
The Islamic tradition emphasizes that the Qur’ān is the main source of guidance in the
life of a pious Muslim. The Qur’ān itself states that it is a source of guidance sent by God in
Sūrah al-Isrāʾ, ‘The Night Journey’ (‫)سورة اإلسراء‬, āyah nine: ﴾17:9﴿ “Truly this Quran guides
toward that which is most upright, and gives glad tidings to the believers who perform righteous
deeds that theirs shall be a great reward.” It is of no surprise then that those who do not believe
in the Qur’ān and the Prophet Muhammad are not considered to be guided by God: ﴾16:104﴿
“Truly those who believe not in the signs of God, God guides them not, and theirs shall be a
painful punishment.” Without the heart turning toward God the disbeliever is not guided. This
disbelief is seen as a disease, in relation to the healthy and pious heart of the believer.
What we can determine about disbelief is that the disbeliever is veiled to the Truth, either
willingly or because God made it so. They live a life which can sometimes be seen as being
without trial, as God is sure to judge them on the Day of Judgement. Disbelief is used in regard
to a number of individuals, though more commonly the pagan Arabs during the time of the
Prophet Muhammad.
36
IV
The People of the Book
﴾5:69﴿ Truly those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Sabeans, and the Christians—whosoever believes
in God and the Last Day and works righteousness, no fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.
A concept which has been made clear through nearly every religious text is that some
religions do not take you on the ‘straightest path’ to the creator. When the Revelation was given
to the Prophet Muhammad by the angel Gabriel, a new yet familiar journey was designed as a
guiding map on how one can come to understand their creator and to solidify their destination in
the Gardens of Paradise. This path, much like the paths that came before it, gave a descriptive
and often precise guide that still left a number of unknowns and even today have us trying to
understand the exact meaning behind the prophetic Message. The question which plagues the
present religious communities’ strive for religious inclusivism: where do we fit in with the other?
For Muslims, the religious other is discussed heavily in the Qur’ān from a number of different
angles, with some suwar regarding these religions both as believers and disbelievers. There is no
question in the understanding of what the Qur’ān states will be the fate of those religions that
focus their belief on polytheistic higher beings, as seen in the Qur’ān āyāh ﴾4:116﴿, “Truly God
forgives not that any partner be ascribed to Him, but He forgives what is less than that for
whomsoever He will. Whosoever ascribes partners unto God has surely gone far astray.” The
question which is often the most controversial to address is where do the other Abrahamic
37
religious traditions, Judaism and Christianity, fit into the religion of Islam? Through analysis of
āyāt of the Qur’ān, we can begin to understand the place of “The People of the Book,” and their
role as believers and disbelievers within the religion of Islam.
The People of the Book: Outside the Qur’ān
The city of Mecca during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad, was a thriving city built
upon trade and religious pilgrimage. Mecca was the city of the Kacbah, a structure which,
according to Islamic histories, was constructed by the Prophet Abraham and his first born son
Ishmael. The Islamic tradition and the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula saw Abraham as an
important ancestral figure, similarly to the religious view of Abraham in the Jewish and Christian
traditions. The Revelation given to the Prophet Muhammad further emphasized the importance
of Abraham, as the Qur’an places him as a monotheist long before the current Abrahamic
religious traditions arose, “Abraham is discussed as a prophet who predated Judaism and
Christianity, who established the Kacbah as a temple of worship, and who is a ḥanīf or primordial
monotheist.”70 The Arabic term ḥanīf (‫) َحنِيفًا‬, is only used for a select number of individuals who
are said to have worshiped the ‘One God’ with practices that did not correspond to any particular
established religious practice. The basis for Abraham being classified as such, can be found in
āyah sixty-seven of the Sūrah al-Imran which states: ﴾3:67﴿ “Abraham was neither a Jew (‫)يَ ُهو ِديًّا‬
nor a Christian (‫ص َرانِيًّا‬
ْ َ‫)ن‬. Rather he was a Ḥanīf (‫) َحنِيفًا‬, a Muslim, and he was not one of the
polytheists.” Growing up in the city of Mecca, the Prophet Muhammad would have come in
contact with a number of Jewish and Christian tribes and individuals, who would come to the
city in pilgrimage as well as to participate in trade. Outside of the various polytheistic traditions,

38
the Jewish and Christian traditions, specifically the variation of those religious traditions which
were practiced at that time, were the two most prominently practiced traditions of the time:
These two religions were most visible on the religious map of Arabia besides pre-Islamic
polytheism at the advent of Islam. Furthermore, under the Prophet's leadership, Muslims'
attitude to 'others' was characterized in general by mutual goodwill, friendship, and a
strong preference for reconciliation, peace and amity.71
Following the first Revelations, the early Muslim community immigrated to the city of
Madinah located north of Mecca, in an attempt to escape the persecution the newly formed
community was experiencing at the hands of the polytheistic tribe of Quraysh. Upon the
Prophet’s arrival in Madinah, the Islamic tradition states that a charter was drafted by the Prophet
and was employed as a set of laws for all individuals and tribes in Madinah. This charter gives
much insight into the community of Madinah and what was acceptable under the Prophet’s rule,
which included how the Jewish tribes of Madinah were to be treated by the Muslim community.
The Muslims and Jews of Madinah shared a number of hardships and inevitably had a number of
altercations, but the charter itself gives scholars some insight into the initial goodwill and
friendship that the Muslims originally offered to the Jews Tribes of Madinah:
To the Jew who follows us belong help and equality. He shall not be wronged nor shall
his enemies be aided. […]The Jews of the B. ‘Auf are one community with the believers
(the Jews have their religion and the Muslims have theirs), their freedmen and their
persons except those who behave unjustly and sinfully, for they hurt but themselves and
their families. The same applies to the Jews of the B. al-Najjar, B. al-Harith, B. Sai ida,
B. Jusham, B. al-Aus, B. Tha'laba, and the Jafna, a clan of the Tha‘laba and the B. alShutayba. Loyalty is a protection against treachery. The freedmen of Tha ‘laba are as
themselves. The close friends of the Jews are as themselves. […] The Jews of al-Aus,
their freedmen and themselves have the same standing with the people of this document
in purely loyalty from the people of this document. Loyalty is a protection against
treachery. He who acquires aught acquires it for himself. God approves of this
document.72

The Jews of Madinah can be seen as having received some fairness when it came to
welcoming the Muslim community into the city and promoting the Prophet as their leader. The
lack of mentioning of Christians in the document is because there was no major Christian tribe or
population in Medina during the time of the Prophet. Outside of the Qur’ānic evidence, those of
the Jewish faith can be said to have been protected and treated fairly, and were not forced to
convert to Islam under the Prophet’s protection. This is significant in the understanding the place
of the Jews and Christians during rise of the Islamic faith, as other religious groups did not
receive similar treatment.

The Book (َ‫اب‬
َ َ ‫)ال ِكت‬
Though scholars agree that the most common use of The People of the Book in the
Qur’ān refers to the Jewish and Christian traditions, and more specifically referring to the Jewish
and Christian traditions practiced during the time of the Islamic Revelation. The Qur’ān is also
referred to as the Book, which can be seen in Sūrah al-Baqarah (‫)سورة البقرة‬, āyah one-hundred
and twenty-one, which states: ﴾2:121﴿ “Those unto whom We have given the Book and who recite
it as it should be recited are they who believe in it. And whosoever does not believe in it, they are
the losers.” Many passages of the Qur’ān acknowledge itself as a book in a type of selfawareness which, given the historical tradition that claims that during the life of the Prophet
Muhammad there was no written form of the Revelation used by the early Muslim community,
seems to allude to the eventual future of the Word of God to be passed down as a written text.73
The Prophet Muhammad himself was said to have been unable to read or write, and the Qur’ān
often focuses on the importance of recitation and preserving the Word of God in the oral
tradition, common among the Arabs of that time, and less on its importance to be written down.
See Daniel A. Madigan, The Qur’ân’s Self-Image: Writing and Authority in Islamic Scripture. (Princeton:
Princeton University Press, 2001), “Chapter 1: The Quran as a Book.”
73
40
The Qur’ān uses two words for the word ‘recite’ in the Qur’ān, the first coming from the root ‘-‫ت‬
‫و‬-‫ ’ل‬which translate as ‘to recite,’74 and from the root ‘‫أ‬-‫ر‬-‫ ’ق‬which translates as ‘to recite’ in
some āyāt and ‘to read’ in others.75 The major endeavor to collect the āyāt and suwar in a written
form arose after the Battle of Yamama, in which a number of the individuals within the Muslim
community who perished in the battle were reciters of the Qur’ān. The fear of losing āyāt and
sūrah was strong enough to start a campaign of preserving the Word of God in the form of the
written world.
This self-awareness can allow one to read the texts in such a way that ‘the Book’
becomes less specific to one particular message, and instead reference the encompassing
message that God delivered not only to the Arab people through the Prophet Muhammad, but
through other messengers as well. An example of a āyah that, though considered to be addressed
to Muhammad, can be interpreted in a more inclusivist way is found in Sūrah al-Nisa’, “The
Women” (‫)سورة النساء‬, āyah one-hunred and thirteen, which states:
﴾4:113﴿ Were it
not for God’s Bounty toward thee, and His Mercy, a party of them would
have plotted to lead thee astray, but they lead astray only their own souls, and they can do
ْ and Wisdom, and
thee no harm in the least. God has sent down unto thee the Book (‫َاب‬
َ ‫)ال ِكت‬
has taught thee what thou knewest not; God’s Bounty toward thee is great indeed.
‘The Book’ no matter which group it is associated with, does not differ in name but only
differs in the variation of its message. Since the Qur’ān states that the Message received by
Muhammad was not entirely new in that it had previously been given to the People of the Book,
the Book then becomes more synonymous with the Word of God. The Book is instead all
encompassing, much as the Qur’ān claims itself to be in later suwar.
Qur’ān 2:44, 2:113, 2:121, 2:129, 2:151, 2:252, 3:58, 3:93, 3:101, 3:108, 3:113, 3:164, 4:127, 5:1, 5:27, 6:151,

The People of the Book
The People of the Book (‫ب‬
ِ ‫)أَ ْه ِل ْال ِكت َا‬, are referred to approximately thirty-one times in the
Qur’ān.76 Outside of the straight forward references of the People of the Book, an additional set
of āyāt has also been interpreted to mean the same thing, including the most commonly used
āyāt: “those who were given the Book” (‫َاب‬
َ ‫)الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا ْال ِكت‬77, “those who were given a portion of the
Book” (‫ب‬
ِ ‫َصيبًا ِِّمنَ ْال ِكتَا‬
ِ ‫)الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا ن‬78, “those unto whom We have given the Book” ( ‫الَّذِينَ آت َ ْينَا ُه ُم‬
ْ 79, “whosoever has knowledge of the book” (‫ب‬
‫َاب‬
َ ‫)ال ِكت‬
ِ ‫) َم ْن ِعندَهُ ِع ْل ُم ْال ِكتَا‬80, and “those who read the
Book” (‫َاب‬
َ ‫)الَّذِينَ يَ ْق َر ُءونَ ْال ِكت‬81.
Though the Qur’ān groups together the Jews and Christians by calling them The People
of the Book in a number of instances, they are also addressed individually in a number of suwar.
Christians (‫ار ٰى‬
َ ‫ص‬
َ َّ‫ )الن‬are referred to in seven different āyāt of the Qur’ān with each instance also
referring to the Jews,82 however the Qur’ān also refers to the Christians in one other instance as
the People of the Gospel (‫نجي ِل‬
ِ ‫اإل‬
ِ ْ ‫)أ ْه ُل‬, in which is it used independently and not in association
with Judaism.83 Unlike the word for Christian, the Qur’ān uses a total of four terms to address
ْ 84 ‘the Jews’(‫)هُودًا‬,85 ‘those who are Jewish’ ( َ‫الَّذِين‬
the Jewish people, including ‘the Jews’ (ُ‫)اليَ ُهود‬,
‫)هَاد ُوا‬86, and ‘the Children of Israel’ (‫)بَنِي إِس َْرائِي َل‬.87 There are a number of āyah of the Qur’ān that

address the Children of Israel specifically, as though it is speaking directly to the Jewish
population at the time. The first āyah that calls on the Children of Israel (‫)بَ ِني ِإس َْرائِي َل‬, is found in
the second Sūrah al-Baqarah (‫)سورة البقرة‬, āyah 40, in which they are told to ‘remember’ their
covenant with God: ﴾2:40﴿ “O Children of Israel! Remember My blessing which I bestowed upon
you, and fulfill My covenant, and I shall fulfill your covenant, and be in awe of Me.” The
covenant with the Children of Israel is subsequently mentioned again later in the same Sūrah,
though this time is seems to be more specific with regards to the aspects of the covenant which
had been made:
﴾2:83﴿ And
[remember] when We made a covenant with the Children of Israel, “Worship
none but God; be virtuous towards parents, kinsmen, orphans, and the indigent; and speak
to people in a goodly way; and perform the prayer and give the alms.” Then you turned
away, save a few of you, swerving aside.
The interpretation of Sūrah al-Baqarah, āyah fourty does not coincide with the more
specified covenant which is addressed in Sūrah al-Baqarah, āyah eighty-three by a number of
Qur’ānic commentaries. According to Tanwīr al-Miqbās min Tafsīr Ibn 'Abbās, the covenant
made by the Children of Israel with God which the Qur’ān refers in āyah fourty Sūrah alBaqarah means, “fulfil my covenant regarding this Prophet,”88and that the covenant God makes
with the Children of Israel in return will be fulfilled, “by admitting you to Paradise.”89 This
particular interpretation, with variation in specific wording, is also given in Tafsīr al-Jalālayn, in
which the covenant the Children of Israel are fulfilling is specific to the Prophet Muhammad.90
From another perspective, Tafsir al-Kāshānī takes on a more pluralistic interpretation in which
the covenant addressed in Sūrah al-Baqarah, āyah fourty refers to a covenant given to the
Ibn 'Abbās and al-Fīrūzabādī, Tanwīr al-Miqbās min Tafsīr Ibn 'Abbās. Trans. Guezzou, pg. 9.

Children of Israel prior to the time of the Prophet Muhammad, with allusions to the Islamic
belief of a pre-temporal covenant made between God and man:
The Children of Israel are the people of the divine gentleness and the recipients of the
favour of guidance and prophethood. He calls to them with gentleness and a reminder of
the former favour and the bygone covenant taken from them in the Torah to affirm the
unity of the acts after the pre-eternal covenant, which is the way with [one’s] beloved
after [a period of] estrangement: Were there not between us ties of kinship and bonds as
well as affection and brotherhood? This [divine] call is specifically qualified by the
affirmation of the unity of [His] attributes that is the lifting of the second veil. It is more
specific than the first general call made to remind [them] of the favour of religion and the
covenant and the [divine] self-disclosure through the attribute of favour-giver and
guardian.91
Tafsīr al-Kāshānī speaks of a bygone covenant, one in which may or may not have
addressed God’s command to follow the Prophet Muhammad and accept the Qur’ān as God’s
message. It may also imply the covenant made with the Prophet Noah, the Prophet Abraham, the
Prophet Noah, the Prophet David, or of a covenant made with God that was lost or forgotten by
man and not written in the Torah.
A majority of the instances of ‘the Children of Israel’ seems to simultaneously refer to
the Christians, which may mean that the use of the term ‘Children of Israel’ refers instead to the
general population of Abrahamic monotheists at the time, especially since Christianity arose
from Judaism and was still in the early stages of development around the time of the Revelation.
A number of āyāt of the Qur’ān further clarify that the Book which it is speaking of in reference
to the Christians and Jews is specifically the Torah (ِ‫ )الت َّ ْو َراة‬and the Christian Gospels (‫)األنجيل‬.92
An example of the Book pertaining to the Jewish Bible can be seen in the second Sūrah alBaqarah (‫)سورة البقرة‬, āyah 53: ﴾2:53﴿ “And when We gave unto Moses the Book and the Criterion,
that haply you may be guided.” According to a translation of Abū Ja’far Muḥammad b. Jarīr al-
91
Al-Kāshānī, Tafsir al- Kāshānī. Trans. Hamza, pg. 34.
Qur’ān 3:3, 3:48, 3:50, 3:65, 3:93, 5:46, 5:47, 5:66, 5:68, 5:110, 7:157, 9:111, 48:29, 57:27, and 61:6.
92
44
Ṭabarī’s, The Commentary on the Qur’an (‫)جامع البيان عن تأويل آي القرآن‬, al-Ṭabarī states that ‘the
Book’ which Moses received was the Torah, and the Criterion is the decided divide between
truth and falsehood:
It is as if he said: And remember also when We gave Moses the Torah which
discriminates93 between truth and falsehood so that you might be guided by it, and might
follow the truth which is in it, because I have made it thus a guidance for him who takes
it as a guide and follows what is in it.94
This commentary by al-Tabarī supports the idea that the earlier Revelations brought by
Messengers of God prior to Muhammad, that are recognized by Judaism, Christianity, and Islam,
were messages containing the Truth that is the Word of God. A further example of the Book
which seems to allude to the Jewish Bible, as well as the Christian Gospels can be found in the
Sūrah al-Anʿām, “The Cattle” (‫)سورة األنعام‬, āyāt one-hundred and fifty-four through one-hundred
and fifty-six which states:
Then We gave unto Moses the Book, complete for those who would be virtuous, as
an exposition of all things, and as a guidance and a mercy, that haply they might believe
in the meeting with their Lord. ﴾6:155﴿ And this is a blessed book that We have sent down,
so follow it and be reverent, that haply you may receive mercy. ﴾6:156﴿ Lest you should say,
“The Book was only sent down upon two groups before us, and we were indeed heedless
of their study.”
﴾6:154﴿
The section of the āyah which states, “The Book was only sent down upon two groups
before us, and we were indeed heedless of their study,” shows that the Message of the Qur’ān is
one that had been previously given to the Jews and Christians, though it is implied through the
Revelation of the Prophet Muhammad that the Messages that were previously given to the Jews
and Christians have been altered, or are not the same as the Message that was originally
delivered by the Messengers’ of God. This is suggested because a further message would not
َ‫ ْالفُ ْرقَان‬is translated as ‘the Criterion’ in The Study Qur’an and as ‘the discrimination’ in The Commentary on the
Qur’an.

have been needed had the messages which came before it been accurately preserved. This is
further implied in Sūrah al-Baqarah, āyah eighty-seven:
﴾2:87﴿ And
indeed We gave unto Moses the Book and caused a succession of messengers
to follow him. And We gave Jesus son of Mary clear proofs, and strengthened him with
the Holy Spirit. Is it not so that whenever a messenger brought you something your souls
did not desire you waxed arrogant, and denied some, and killed others?
The āyah addresses a profound problem of the human condition, to turn away from
something which they cannot bring themselves to believe or select only parts of the message
which they feel benefit them. This also is potentially in reference to the general attitude towards
Christian and Jewish individuals and groups of the Arabian Peninsula who heard the Qur’an but
remained within their own tradition, which from an Islamic perspective, is denying the last and
the most pure Message of God. The Qur’ān acknowledges this denial by individuals, and even
confirms the prior messages to have once been the truest version of God’s Message prior to the
Qur’ān. This is confirmed in Sūrah al-Ma’ida (‫)سورة المائدة‬, āyah fourty-eight:
﴾5:48﴿ And
we have sent down unto thee the Book in truth, confirming the Book that came
before it, and as protector over it. So judge between them in accordance with what God
has sent down, and follow not their caprices away from the truth that has come unto thee.
For each among you we have appointed a law and a way. And had God willed, He would
have made you one community, but [He willed otherwise], that He might try you in that
which He has given you. So vie with one another in good deeds. Unto God shall be your
return all together, and He will inform you of that wherein you differ.
Having already determined that ‘The Book’ is less strictly the written religious text, and
more of a focus on the Message of God, it can be seen that the fault of the People of the Book
lies in the written text which has been handed down from generation to generation. There are
insistences of the Qur’ān which show that the People of the Book have the ability to obtain
Salvation, and shows that the original Messages revealed to the Jews and Christians were as
valid as the Qur’ān:
46
﴾5:69﴿ Truly those
who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the
Sabeans—whosoever believes in God and the Last Day and works righteousness shall
have their reward with their Lord. No fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.
With time having, assumingly, distorted the original Message, the Qur’ān was revealed to
right the wrong and bring the people back to the One God of the Abrahamic religious traditions.
For this reason the Qur’ān can be considered to be more inclusive of the religions which came
before it. However, much like in the Judaic and Christian traditions, there are those who commit
sins and claim to be of a tradition but their actual belief and their actions go against their
religious doctrine. It is these instances which lead to the concept of ‘disbelief’ among the People
of the Book.
Disbelief among the People of the Book
Though the Qur’ān respects ‘the People of the Book’ as believers in the Oneness of God
and tends to take a more inclusive and pluralistic stance on the place of the People of the Book
within the religion of Islam, there is a major difference between Muslims and People of the
Book, despite the Qur’ān’s seemingly universal message:
Despite a clear message of universality, tolerance and pluralism in the Qur’ān, the main
line theological and hermeneutic traditions have almost always chosen to read the
universal, inclusivist dimensions of the Qur’ān, and of the sayings of the Prophet
Muhammad in light of the more exclusivist verses such as, Verily the religion with God
is Islam (5:3), and Who seeks other than Islam as a religion, it will not be accepted from
him (3:85).95
This may be the case because unlike Muslims, who are unable to be considered
disbelievers if they truly believe in the words of the Qur’ān, the People of the Book can be
considered both a believer and a disbeliever, which is not possible for followers of Islam, as seen
in Sūrah Āl ʿImrān “The House of ‘Imrān” (‫)سورة آل عمران‬, āyah seventy: ﴾3:70﴿ “O People of the
Joseph Lumbard. “Qur’ānic Inclusivism in an Age of Globalization” in The Religious Other: Towards a Muslim
Theology of the Other Religions in a Post-Prophetic Age, edited by Muhammad Suheyl Umar, 151-162. (Lahore:
Iqbal Academy Pakistan, 2008), Pg. 152.
95
47
Book! Why do you disbelieve in God’s signs, while you are witnesses?” Tanwīr al-Miqbās min
Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās sees this āyah as a call on the People of the Book to remember that the
scripture that came before the Qur’ān and recognize Muhammad as a prophet sent by God, while
explaining in the following āyah of the Qur’ān Sūrah Āl ʿImrān (‫)سورة آل عمران‬, āyah seventyone that the People of the Book must stop confounding the traits of the anti-Christ found in their
scripture with that of the Prophet Muhammad.96 Since the Qur’ān marks the most recent
revelation given by God, and according to the Islamic tradition marks the last revelation to be
given until the Day of Judgement, belief in the messages which came before the Qur’ān are not
considered the absolute truth that if followed will gain the follower a place in Paradise.
Sūrah Ninety-Eight entitled, ‘The Clear Proof,’ al-Bayyinah (‫)سورة البينة‬, specifically
focuses on the topic of disbelief among the People of the Book. This proves to be an interesting
contrast to some other suwar of the Qur’ān, as the People of the Book are placed in a category of
disbelief beside the polytheists: ﴾98:6﴿ “Indeed the faithless from among the People of the Book
and the polytheists will be in the fire of hell, to remain in it [forever]. It is they who are the worst
of creatures.” The reason for the revelation of Sūrah Al-Bayyinah (‫ )سورة البينة‬cannot be found in
the Asbāb al-Nuzūl of Alī ibn Ahmad al-Wāhidī and Tafsīr al-Jalālayn is does not seem to state
anything more in-depth than the most basic understanding of the āyah. Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās takes
the Sūrah a step further in its understanding and gives examples of individuals for whom the
āyah is believed to apply:
(Those who disbelieve among the People of the Scripture) i.e. the Jews and Christians
(and the idolaters) the Arab idolaters (could not have left off (erring)) could not have
remained in their denial of Muhammad (pbuh) the Qur'an and Islam (till the clear proof
came unto them) until clarification of what is in their Scriptures, the Scriptures of the
Jews and Christians, came to them. There is another way of understanding the above:
those who disbelieve among the people of the Scripture, before the advent Muhammad
(pbuh) such as 'Abdullah Ibn Salam and his followers, and those who ascribed partners to
96
Ibn ‘Abbās and al-Firūzabādī. Tanwīr al-Miqbās min Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās. Trans. Guezzou, Pg. 72.
48
Allah before the advent of Muhammad (pbuh) such as Abu Bakr and his fellow Arabs,
would not have desisted from their disbelief and idolatry until the clear proof came to
them, i.e. until Muhammad (pbuh) came to them.97
The trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit within the Christian tradition is a
major concept that is not accepted within the Islam tradition. Dividing God into three entities is
seen as a polytheistic form of worship, in which the worship of Jesus is seen as diverting worship
away from God. This negative attitude towards this category of individuals within the People of
the Book is seen in a number of āyāt, but is explicitly stated in Sūrah al-Māʾidah (‫)سورة المائدة‬,
āyah seventy three: ﴾5:73﴿ “They certainly disbelieve, those who say, “Truly God is the third of
three,” while there is no god save the One God. If they refrain not from what they say, a painful
punishment will befall those among them who disbelieved.” The statement “Truly God is the
third of three,” is stated in reference to the trinity and in general marks the Christian faith as a
form of disbelief.
﴾5:72﴿ They certainly disbelieve,
those who say, “Truly God is the Messiah, son of Mary.”
But the Messiah said, “O Children of Israel! Worship God, my Lord and your Lord.”
Surely whosoever ascribes partners unto God, God has forbidden him the Garden, and his
refuge shall be the Fire. And the wrongdoers shall have no helpers.
The Islamic understanding of the Christian belief that Jesus is the son of God was that it
was not a title claimed by Jesus himself and was something constructed during the writing of the
Gospels. The Qur’ān reasserts the claim that Jesus was a messenger and a prophet and that he
represented the manifest word of God, but he was not considered more or less than the
messengers that came before him or after him: ﴾5:75﴿ “The Messiah, son of Mary, was naught but
a messenger—messengers have passed away before him. And his mother was truthful. Both of
them ate food. Behold how We make the signs clear unto them, yet behold how they are
perverted!” This āyah from Sūrah al-Māʾidah (‫ )سورة المائدة‬introduces this idea that the Torah and
97
Ibid, pg. 766.
49
the Gospels both represent a perversion of their original message, and that they have strayed
from their true message, considered lost over time through either purposeful or accidental
editing. Later in āyah seventy-seven of Sūrah al-Māʾidah (‫ )سورة المائدة‬God calls on the People of
the Book to stop the exaggeration of the messages which had been given to them, and to stop
leading people astray, both from the original message of the Torah and Gospel and from the
message of Muhammad: ﴾5:77﴿ “Say, “O People of the Book! Do not exaggerate in your religion
beyond the truth, and follow not the caprices of a people who went astray aforetime, and led
many astray, and strayed from the right way.” Tafsīr al-Jalālayn examines this āyah as a
warning to the People of the Book to stop pulling their communities and the early Muslim
community away from the Truth through corruption of the Word of God, and as a warning to the
Christians to stop elevating the place of Jesus in relation to God and to keep him in his proper
place.98
Though the aspect of corruption is present with regards to the Torah and Gospel, both the
Qur’ān and Islamic scholars recognize them as revelations sent by God to the Jewish and
Christian communities prior to the revelation of the Prophet Muhammad. What makes the
Qur’ān different from the revelations that came before it, is that it is considered the absolute,
unmodified, and non-corrupt Word of God. There are a number of āyāt that further allude to the
idea that the Torah and the Gospel having been edited over time, either on purpose or by
accident, which make them not as pure as the Qur’ān. Sūrah al-Māʾidah (‫)سورة المائدة‬, āyāt sixtysix, states that had the People of the Book observed the revelation sent down to them, as it was
intended, they would be able to recognize and believe in Muhammad and receive blessing from
God:
98
Al-Suyūṭī and al-Maḥallī, Tafsīr al-Jalālayn. Trans. Hamza, pg 125.
50
﴾5:66﴿ Had
they observed the Torah and the Gospel and that which was sent down unto
them from their Lord, they would surely have received nourishment from above them and
from beneath their feet. There is a moderate community among them; but many of them,
evil is that which they do!
Similar to āyah seventy-five of the same Sūrah, quoted above, both āyāt allude to the fact
that the Jewish and Christian peoples are not properly observing the Torah or the Gospel,
possibly due to the corruption or perversion of the original messages to their present form.
According to Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās, had the Jews and the Christians read the true Words of God,
they would find that a description of Muhammad was contained within the Torah and Gospels,
and it is the unjust leaders within the Jewish and Christian communities that try to conceal these
traits.99 Going back to the Christian concept of the Trinity, the Qur’ān reveals a conversation
between God and the Prophet Jesus, in which God asks Jesus if he told mankind that he was a
god:
﴾5:116﴿ And
when God said, “O Jesus son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind, ‘Take
me and my mother as gods apart from God?’” He said, “Glory be to Thee! It is not for me
to utter that to which I have no right. Had I said it, Thou wouldst surely have known it.
Thou knowest that which is in myself and I know not that which is in Thy Self. Truly it is
Thou who knowest best the things unseen.
The message of this āyah reflects the statement made in Tafsīr al-Jalālayn that the
Christian community placed Jesus as the physical embodiment of God. This āyah can be
understood as an affirmation to the Muslim community that they are right to believe in Jesus as a
messenger, similar to that of Muhammad, who delivered the Word of God to a community who
had gone astray from the original message delivered in the messages which came before the birth
of Jesus. Tafsīr al-Jalālayn’s interpretation of Sūrah al-Māʾidah (‫)سورة المائدة‬, āyah one-hundred
and sixteen, re-emphasizes Jesus’ humility, by pointing out Jesus’ words in response to God’s
questioning him of his place, stating, “Thou knowest that which is in myself and I know not that
99
Ibn ‘Abbās and al-Firūzabādī. Tanwīr al-Miqbās min Tafsīr Ibn ‘Abbās. Trans. Guezzou, Pg. 122.
51
which is in Thy Self,” it is here that Jesus affirms that he is not all knowing, and that the Truth
can only be found in God, who is knower of all things and of the Unseen.100
Believer or Disbeliever: The Case for Religious Inclusivism in Islam
The People of the Book in the Qur’ān as previously shown are spoken about in an often
contradictory light, with their place in the Qur’ān as believers and disbelievers. Fortunately for
the early Muslims, so many instances have been recorded including the Occasions of Revelation
for most of the passages as well as commentaries on Qur’ān āyāt by Muslim scholars, helps to
assert a more pluralistic perspective in the Qur’ānic view of the Christians and Jews. In
Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā’s Tafsīr al-Qur’ān al-ḥakīm al-shahīr bi-tafsīr al-Manār, he explains
that in verses of the Qur’an such as Sūrah Al-Ma’ida (‫)سورة المائدة‬, āyah fourty-eight, prove that
the Revelation given to the Prophet Muhammad was one that was all-inclusive, in that it further
confirmed and reminded those who had gone astray of the messages which had come before:
The Muḥammadan leader chooses the path of Muḥammad and leaves aside the other
paths, even though he acknowledges them and has faith in them. However, he does not
make himself a servant except through the path of Muḥammad, nor does he have his
followers make themselves servants except through it. He traces the attributes of all paths
back to it, because Muḥammad’s revealed religion is all-inclusive. Hence the property of
all the revealed religions has been transferred to his revealed religion. His revealed
religion embraces them, but they do not embrace it.101
Riḍā’s stance is that Islam is the final and only truly valid religion as the path laid out by
Muhammad is regarded as the “straight path” to God, and therefore believed to be the most
truthful of the Revelations. In contrast to Riḍā, the Qur’ān does state that the People of the Book
have the ability to achieve a place in Paradise following the Day of Judgment: ﴾2:62﴿ “Truly those
who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the Sabeans—whosoever believes
in God and the last day and works righteousness shall have their reward with their Lord. No fear

shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.” This verse, as inclusive as it may sound, states that
those who believe as well as the Jews, Christians, and Sabeans, can find rewards through
righteous work, but it does not outright call these groups “believers.”
In the tenth Sūrah entitled “Jonah” (‫)سورة يونس‬, there is an interesting āyah which alludes
to there being a truth found in every religious community: ﴾10:47﴿ “For every community there is
a messenger, and when their messenger comes, judgment shall be rendered between them with
justice, and they will not be wronged.” The problem potentially faced with this āyah is that all
communities cannot be right in their religious message, and therefore in some way their message
has to have undergone some change that made it stray from the truth. William Chittick makes the
point that the Muslim ulama could not just state that all religions shared a universal truth,
because the consequence would have lessened the Qur’ān’s claim to being the absolute truth of
the Word of God:
In the case of the Muslim community, the ulama had no good reason to argue in support
of Qur’anic references to the universality of religious truth, verses like “every nation has
its messenger” (10:47). If they had suggested that others might be following legitimate
ways, they would have been diluting the absolute authority of the religious command
designated by the Qur’an and the Sunna.102
The key is then to a find a way to encourage plurality in such a way that the importance
of Qur’ānic guidance stays at the forefront of how one can achieve salvation, while at the same
time acknowledging that some non-Muslim individuals will still find a way to achieve salvation.
Perhaps humanity can instead look at the worshiping of the One God as a means of still abiding
by the Qur’ānic command of submitting to God, especially those who perform good deeds.
Regardless, the claim that only those who are Muslim are allowed into paradise even contradicts
the Qur’ān. As Reza Shah-Kazemi states:
William C. Chittick, “The Ambiguity of the Qur’anic Command”, Between Heaven and Hell: Islam Salvation,
and the Fate of Others. Mohammad Hassan Khalil, ed. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2013), Pg. 77.
102
53
It is not possible to claim that only those called “Muslims” in the confessional sense enter
Paradise; rather, we are called upon to stress heartfelt submission to God, together with
the practice of virtue in consequence of that submission, as being the foundation upon
which one can legitimately hope for the divine grace by means of which, alone, one
enters Paradise.103
The question which must then be asked is what qualifies as, “heart felt submission to
God,” as stated by Kazemi, and does following the messages in the Jewish Bible and Christian
Gospels qualify as proper submission? Though I have argued that those who believe in the
original, uncorrupt Messages of God given to the Jews and Christians would find a place in
paradise, it does not account for the Jews and Christians who believe in the Bible and the
Gospels during this day in age. If we go by what Islam defines as a believer and an individual of
faith, we cannot claim that the Jews and Christians are believers. Instead, because they meet
some of the qualifications of faith, such as belief in God, His angels, and some of His Messages,
it can be stated that the People of the Book observe a belief which has attributes associated with
disbelief. Therefore the disbelief attributed to the People of the Book can be seen as a lesser form
of disbelief than that of the polytheistic Arabs, whose disbelief is stronger than that who
recognize the Oneness of God.
For this reason, the People of the Book should be considered as being closer in following
the Word of God over those who participate in polytheistic practices. Even more so, those People
of the Book who perform righteous deeds should be given the benefit of potentially being able to
abide in Paradise, though possibly on a lower level of Paradise than the pious Muslim. One idea
that should also be stressed is the notion that in the end it is not the human being who decides
who is a believer or a non-believer and who will be able to enter Paradise, which is at the
discretion of God who, according to all Abrahamic religious traditions, is merciful and forgiving.
Reza Shah-Kazemi. “Beyond Polemics and Pluralism: The Universal Message of the Qur’an,” Between Heaven
and Hell: Islam Salvation, and the Fate of Others. Mohammad Hassan Khalil, ed. (New York: Oxford University
Press, 2013), Pg. 87.

For this reason, as well as evidence from the Qur’an and the early Islamic histories, the Jews,
Christians, and Muslims should be able to find friendship and compassion through commonality
in religious tradition, and through the basic reason of respecting all of God’s creations.

Conclusion
﴾2:256﴿ There is no coercion in religion. Sound judgment has become clear from error. So whosoever disavows false
deities and believed in God has grasped the most unfailing handhold, which never breaks. And God is Hearing,
Knowing.
The concept and definition of the disbeliever in Islam as described by the Qur’ān will
continue to remain a topic of debate among pluralistic and more conservative readers. What
makes the Qur’ān such a unique addition to the Abrahamic religious tradition, is that it is a Book
that not only is a religious text from which people can derive various meanings, but it is a Book
that encourages the reader to read deeper and derive additional and more complex
interpretations. The case for the disbeliever is no exception.
What we can conclude about the disbeliever without any doubt is that polytheism will
always be considered a form of disbelief. Since part of affirming ones faith in Islam is the
statement, “there is no god but God,” it would be impossible to justify polytheism within any
conceivable definition of faith within Islam.
In the case of the Christian and Jewish communities as believers beside Muslims, there is
no denying that all three religious groups can trace their lineage back to the Prophet Abraham,
and all believe (from their own perspectives) in the omnipotent Oneness of God. The main
points with regard to the status of the People of the Book within the Qur’ān which ultimately
marks them as a unique category next to Muslims is that unlike followers of Islam, the People of
the Book can be seen by the Qur’ān both as people with a degree of true faith, those they do not
fully believe in the Prophet Muhammad and the Qur’ān.
56
One thing that should be stated with regard to the universality of the Qur’ān and its
ability to be inclusive; is that regardless of whether or not a reader finds supporting information
from the sources of prophetic Sunnah to claim that the Qur’ān is inclusive or exclusive, it is all in
how the reader is approaching the Qur’ān. If an individual who is looking for proof that the only
true religion is the religion of Islam, they need only turn to the end of Sūrah al-Māʾidah ( ‫سورة‬
‫)المائدة‬, āyah three: ﴾5:3﴿ “[…] This day those who disbelieve have despaired of your religion. So
fear them not, but fear Me! This day I have perfected for you your religion, and completed My
blessing upon you, and have approved for you as religion, Submission (Islām).” However, if you
are looking to discover whether or not those individuals who are Jewish or Christian which you
associate are destined for damnation in the Fire, you can look to Sūrah al-Baqarah, āyah sixtytwo:
﴾2:62﴿ Truly those
who believe, and those who are Jews, and the Christians, and the
Sabeans—whosoever believes in God and the Last Day and works righteousness shall
have their reward with their Lord. No fear shall come upon them, nor shall they grieve.
Though the Jews and the Christians may not be considered believers, they have a
regonized degree of belief which would make them more inclusive than those who are
polytheists, and the Jews and the Christians recognize the Light of God, but are metaphorically
veiled to some of God’s Light. If a solid definition cannot be given, it can minimally be stated
that those who are classified as disbelievers do not believe in the Omniscient God, they do not
believe in the scriptures which we brought by God’s Messengers, and their hearts are not open to
faith. They live a life which is veiled from salvation and are ungrateful, and show this
ungratefulness in their existence. The disbeliever attributes God’s Oneness to idols or does not
recognize a supreme being at all, inevitably completely veiling their heart from the
Remembrance of God.

The following is a list of the verse numbers ﴾Sūrah number: ‘Āyah number﴿, the English translation, and
the original Arabic of Qur’ān verses containing a word with the root ‘‫ر‬-‫ف‬-‫’ك‬
﴾2:6﴿
Truly it is the same for the disbelievers whether
thou warnest them or warnest them not; they do
not believe.

﴾2:19﴿
Or a cloudburst from the sky, in which there is
darkness, thunder, and lightning. They put their
fingers in their ears against the thunderclaps,
fearing death. And God encompasses the
disbelievers.

﴾2:24﴿
And if you do not, and you will not, then be
mindful of the Fire made ready for the
disbelievers, whose fuel is men and stones.
﴾2:26﴿
Truly God is not ashamed to set forth a parable of
a gnat or something smaller, As for those who
believe, they know it is the truth from their Lord,
and as for those who disbelieve, they say, “What
did God mean by this parable?” He misleads
many by it, and He guides many by it, and He
misleads none but the iniquitous.
﴾2:28﴿
How can you disbelieve in God, seeing that you
were dead and He gave you life; then He causes
you to die; then He gives you life; then unto Him
shall you be returned?
﴾2:34﴿
And when We said to the angels, “Prostrate unto
Adam,” they prostrated, save Iblīs. He refused and
waxed arrogant, and was among the disbelievers.

ََ‫أ َ َب ٰى َوا ْست َ ْك َب َر َو َكانَ ِمنَ ْالكَافِ ِرين‬
﴾2:39﴿
But those who disbelieve and deny Our signs, it is
they who are inhabitants of the Fire, abiding
therein.
﴾2:41﴿
And believe in that which I have sent down,
confirming that which you have with you, and be
not the first to disbelieve in it. And sell not My
signs for a paltry price, and reverence Me.
﴾2:61﴿
And when you said, “O Moses, we will not endure
one food, so call upon your Lord for us, that He
may bring forth for us some of what the earth
grows; its herbs, its cucumbers, its garlic, its
lentils, its onions. He said, “Would you substitute
what is lesser for what is better? Go down to a
town, and you will have what you ask for.” So they
were struck with abasement and poverty, and
earned a burden of wrath from God. That is
because they disbelieved in the signs of God, and
killed the prophets without right. That is because
they disobeyed and were transgressors.

but turning [others] from the way of God—and
disbelieving in Him—and from the Sacred
Mosque, and expelling its people, is graver in the
sight of God. Strife is greater than slaying.” And
they will not cease to fight you until they make you
renounce your religion, if they are able.
Whosoever among you renounces his religion and
dies as a disbeliever, their deeds have come to
naught in this world and the Hereafter, and they

﴾4:144﴿
O you who believe! Do not take the disbelievers as
protectors instead of the believers. Do you wish to
give God a clear warrant against you?
﴾4:150﴿
Truly those who disbelieve in God and His
messengers, and seek to make a distinction
between God and His messengers, and say: “We
believe in some and disbelieve in others,” and seek
to take a way between—
﴾4:151﴿
It is they who are truly disbelievers, and We have
prepared for the disbelievers a humiliating
punishment.
﴾4:155﴿
Then for their breaking of their covenant, and their
disbelieving in the signs of God, and their slaying
of the prophets without right, and their saying:
“Our hearts are uncircumcised,”—No! rather God
has set a seal upon them for their disbelief, so they
believe not, save a few—
﴾4:156﴿
And for their disbelief, and their uttering against
Mary a tremendous calumny,
﴾4:161﴿
And for their taking usury, though they had been
forbidden it, and for their consuming men’s wealth
falsely. And We have prepared for the disbelievers
among them a painful punishment.
﴾4:167﴿
Verily those who disbelieve and who turn from the
way of God have certainly wandered far astray.
﴾4:168﴿
Verily those who disbelieve and do wrong, God
will not forgive them, nor will He guide them to
any path,
﴾4:170﴿
O mankind! The Messenger has come to you with
the truth from your Lord; so believe! It is better for
you. But if you disbelieve, unto God belongs
whatsoever is in the heavens and the earth, and
God is Knowing, Wise.

believers, and the chaste women of those who were

beware!” For whomsoever God desires that he be

many of them in rebellion and disbelief. And We

God will not take you to task for that which is
frivolous in your oaths, but He will take you to task
for the oaths you have pledged in earnest. The
expiation thereof is the feeding of ten indigent
people with the equivalent of that which you feed
your own family, or clothing them, or freeing a
slave. And whosoever finds not [the means], let
him fast for three days. That is the expiation for
your oaths when you have sworn [them]. But keep
your oaths. Thus does God make clear unto you
His signs, that haply you may give thanks.

seventy times, God will not forgive them. That is

Compassionate. Say, “He is my Lord; there is no
god but He. In Him do I trust and unto Him do I
turn.”
﴾13:31﴿
Were there a Quran whereby the mountains were
set in motion, or the earth was cleft, or the dead
were made to speak. Nay! Unto God belongs the
affair altogether. Do not those who believe
understand that if God had willed, He would have
guided mankind all together? And those who
disbelieve, calamity will never cease to befall them
because of that which they have wrought, or to
alight close to their abode until God’s Promise
comes. Truly God will not fail the tryst.

That is their recompense for having disbelieved in
Our signs. And they say, “What! When we are
bones and dust, shall we indeed be resurrected as
a new creation?”
‫ٰذَلِكَ َجزَ اؤُ هُم بِأَنَّ ُه ْم َكفَ ُروا بِآيَاتِنَا َوقَالُوا أ َ ِإذَا ُكنَّا‬

Have they not considered that God, Who created
the heavens and the earth, has the power to create
the like of them? And He has ordained for them a
term, about which there is no doubt. Yet the
wrongdoers refuse aught but disbelief.

for the wrongdoers a Fire whose canopies will
encompass them. And if they plead for relief, they
will be showered with water like molten lead that
will scald faces—an evil drink indeed, and how
evil a resting place!

Thus did We recompense them for having
disbelieved. And do We recompense any but the
disbeliever?
﴾34:31﴿
The disbelievers say, “We shall not believe in this
Quran, nor in that which was before it.” Couldst
thou but see when the wrongdoers are made to
stand before their Lord, hurling reproach upon
one another! Those who had been weak and
oppressed will say to those who had waxed
arrogant, “If not for you, we would have been
believers.”

increases them in naught but loss.

And when it is said unto them, “Spend of that

falsehood and because those who believe follow

Muhammad is the Messenger of God. Those who
are with him are harsh against the disbelievers,
merciful to one another. You see them bowing,
prostrating, seeking bounty from God and
contentment; their mark upon their faces is from
the effect of prostration. That is their likeness in
the Torah. And their likeness in the Gospel is a
sapling that puts forth its shoot and strengthens it,
such that it grows stout and rises firmly upon its
stalk, impressing the sowers, that through them He
may enrage the disbelievers. God has promised
forgiveness and a great reward to those among
them who believe and perform righteous deeds.

believers, do not return them to the disbelievers.
Those women are not lawful for those men; nor
are those men lawful for those women. And give
them what they have spent. There is no blame upon
you if you marry them when you have given them
their bridewealth. And hold not to the ties of
disbelieving women. Ask for what you have spent,
and let them ask for what they have spent. That is
the Judgment of God; He judges between you. And
God is Knowing, Wise.

strengthened those who believed against their
enemies, and they came to prevail.
﴾63:3﴿
That is because they believed, and then
disbelieved; so a seal was set upon their hearts
such that they comprehend not.

clear proofs, at which they said, “Shall a human

away; yet God is beyond need. And God is SelfSufficient, Praised.

And We have appointed none but angels as
wardens of the Fire; and We have not appointed
their number save as a trial for those who
disbelieve, to grant certainty to those who have
been given the Book and increase in faith those
who believe; and that those who were given the
Book and the believers will not doubt; and that
those in whose hearts is a disease and the
disbelievers will say, “What does God desire by
this as a parable?” Thus does God lead astray
whomsoever He will and guide whomsoever He
will. And none knows the hosts of thy Lord but He.
It is but a reminder for the human being.
