Its root in the classical dictionaries
الكفر في اللغة: ستر الشيء، ووصف الليل بالكافر لستره الأشخاص، والزراع لستره البذر في الأرض، وليس ذلك باسم لهما كما قال بعض أهل اللغة لما سمع:387-ألقت ذكاء يمينها في كافر
قوله تعالى: ﴿إن الذين كفروا﴾ [آل عمران: 4]. الكفر أصله التغطية والستر. وسمي الكافر الشرعي كافرا لأنه ستر الحق وغطى عليه. وسمي الليل كافرا لستره الأشياء بظلامه. وأنشد لثعلبة: [من الكامل]
But those who believe
And work deeds of
Righteousness, and believe
In the (Revelation) sent down
To Muhammad—for it is
The Truth from their Lord,
He will remove from them
Their ills and improve
Their condition.
This because those who
Reject God follow vanities,
While those who believe follow
The Truth from their Lord:
Thus does God set forth
For men their lessons
By similitudes.
Therefore, when ye meet
The Unbelievers (in fight),
Smite at their necks;
At length, when ye have
Thoroughly subdued them,
Bind a bond
Firmly (on them): thereafter
(Is the time for) either
Generosity or ransom:
Until the war lays down
Its burdens. Thus (are ye
Commanded): but if it
Had been God's Will,
He could certainly have exacted
Retribution from them (Himself);
But (He lets you fight)
In order to test you,
Some with others.
But those who are slain
In the way of God,
He will never let
Their deeds be lost.
Verily God will admit
Those who believe and do
Righteous deeds, to Gardens
Beneath which rivers flow;
While those who reject God
Will enjoy (this world)
And eat as cattle eat;
And the Fire will
Be their abode.
Those who reject God,
Hinder (men) from
The Path of God, and resist
The Apostle, after Guidance
Has been clearly shown to them,
Will not injure God
In the least, but He
Will make their deeds
Of no effect.
That He may admit
The men and women
Who believe, to Gardens
Beneath which rivers flow,
To dwell therein for aye,
And remove their ills
From them;—and that is,
In the sight of God,
The highest achievement
(For man),—
They are the ones who
Denied revelation and hindered you
From the Sacred Mosque
And the sacrificial animals,
Detained from reaching their
Place of sacrifice. Had there
Not been believing men
And believing women whom
Ye did not know that
Ye were trampling down
And on whose account
A crime would have accrued
To you without (your) knowledge,
(God would have allowed you
To force your way, but
He held back your hands)
That He may admit
To His Mercy whom He will.
If they had been
Apart, We should
Certainly have punished
The Unbelievers among them
With a grievous punishment.
While the Unbelievers
Got up in their hearts
Heat and cant—the heat
And cant of Ignorance,—
God sent down His Tranquillity
To his Apostle and to
The Believers, and made them
Stick close to the command
Of self-restraint; and well
Were they entitled to it
And worthy of it.
And God has full knowledge
Of all things.
And know that among you
Is God's Apostle: were he,
In many matters, to follow
Your (wishes), ye would
Certainly fall into misfortune:
But God has endeared
The Faith to you, and
Has made it beautiful
In your hearts, and He
Has made hateful to you
Unbelief, wickedness, and
Rebellion: such indeed are
Those who walk in righteousness;—
"This Day shall no ransom
Be accepted of you, nor
Of those who rejected God.
Your abode is the Fire:
That is the proper place .
To claim you: and an evil
Refuge it is!"
And those who believe
In God and His apostles—
They are the Sincere
(Lovers of Truth), and
The Witnesses (who testify),
In the eyes of their Lord:
They shall have their Reward
And their Light,
But those who reject God
And deny Our Signs,—
They are the Companions
Of Hell-Fire.
It is He Who got out
The Unbelievers among
The People of the Book
From their homes
At the first gathering
(Of the forces).
Little did ye think
That they would get out:
And they thought
That their fortresses
Would defend them from God!
But the (Wrath of) God
Came to them from quarters
From which they little
Expected (it), and cast
Terror into their hearts,
So that they destroyed
Their dwellings by their own
Hands and the hands
Of the Believers.
Take warning, then,
O ye with eyes (to see)!
Hast thou not observed
The Hypocrites say
To their misbelieving brethren
Among the People of the Book?—
"If ye are expelled,
We too will go out
With you, and we will
Never hearken, to any one
In your affair; and if
Ye are attacked (in fight)
We will help you".
But God is witness
That they are indeed liars.
(Their allies deceived them),
Like the Evil One,
When he says to man,
"Deny God": but when
(Man) denies God,
(The Evil One) says,
"I am free of thee:
I do fear God,
The Lord of the Worlds!"
