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]
O ye who believe!
Take not My enemies
And yours as friends
(Or protectors),—offering them
(Your) love, even though
They have rejected the Truth
That has come to you,
And have (on the contrary)
Driven out the Prophet
And yourselves (from your homes),
(Simply) because ye believe
In God your Lord!
If ye have come out
To strive in My Way
And to seek My Good Pleasure,
(Take them not as friends),
Holding secret converse
Of love (and friendship)
With them: for I know
Full well all that ye
Conceal and all that ye
Reveal. And any of you
That does this has strayed
From the Straight Path.
If they were to get
The better of you,
They would behave to you
As enemies, and stretch forth
Their hands and their tongues
Against you for evil;
And they desire that ye
Should reject the Truth.
There is for you
An excellent example (to follow)
In Abraham and those with him,
When they said
To their people:
"We are clear of you
And of whatever ye worship
Besides God: we have rejected
You, and there has arisen,
Between us and you, enmity
And hatred for ever,—unless
Ye believe in God
And Him alone":
But not when Abraham
Said to his father:
"I will pray for forgiveness
For thee, though I have
No power (to get) aught
On thy behalf from God."
(They prayed): "Our Lord!
In Thee do we trust,
And to Thee do we turn
In repentance: to Thee
Is (our) final Goal.
O ye who believe!
Be ye helpers of God:
As said Jesus the son of Mary
To the Disciples, "Who will be
My helpers to (the work
Of) God?" Said the Disciples,
"We are God's helpers!"
Then a portion of the Children
Of Israel believed, and
A portion disbelieved:
But We gave power
To those who believed,
Against their enemies,
And they became
The ones that prevailed.
Has not the story
Reached you, of those
Who rejected Faith aforetime?
So they tasted the evil
Result of their conduct;
And they had
A grievous Penalty.
That was because there
Came to them apostles
With Clear Signs,
But they said:
"Shall (mere) human beings
Direct us?" So they rejected
(The Message) and turned away.
But God can do without (them):
And God is
Free of all needs,
Worthy of all praise.
The Unbelievers think
That they will not be
Raised up (for Judgment).
Say: "Yea, by my Lord,
Ye shall surely be
Raised up: then shall ye
Be told (the truth) of
All that ye did.
And that is easy for God."
The Day that He assembles
You (all) for a Day
Of Assembly,—that will be
A day of mutual loss
And gain (among you).
And those who believe
In God and work righteousness,—
He will remove from them
Their ills, and He will admit
Them to gardens beneath which
Rivers flow, to dwell therein
For ever: that will be
The Supreme Achievement.
O ye who believe!
Turn to God
With sincere repentance:
In the hope that
Your Lord will remove
From you your ills
And admit you to Gardens
Beneath which Rivers flow,—
The Day that God
Will not permit
To be humiliated
The Prophet and those
Who believe with him.
Their Light will run
Forward before them
And by their right hands,
While they say, "Our Lord!
Perfect our Light for us,
And grant us Forgiveness:
For Thou hast power
Over all things."
God sets forth,
For an example
To the Unbelievers,
The wife of Noah
And the wife of Lūṭ:
They were (respectively)
Under two of our righteous
Servants, but they were
False to their (husbands),
And they profited nothing
Before God on their account,
But were told: "Enter ye
The Fire along with
(Others) that enter!"
At length, when they
See it close at hand,
Grieved will be the faces
Of the Unbelievers,
And it will be said
(To them): "This is
(The promise fulfilled),
Which ye were calling for!"
