Surah Al-Kafirun
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
الْكَافِرُونَ : Al Kafiroon: disbeliever, denier, rejecter
One of the things they(disbelievers) offered him as a compromise- (we worship your God one year and we join together the other year) we all share Islam for a season, then we all share shirk for a season, or wealth or this and that
(Ism Fail- noun) - the people who are at the point of no return
they refused to leave their shirk
disbelieved in Allah, this messenger, the ayat that came to you, your own conscience (fitra),
denial/ungrateful of a favour ( received the gift of dua of Ibrahim.a, Protection In surah feel, mercy of Muhammad.s, final messenger, final revelation itself, they got to hear it with their own ears from the mouth of messenger.s )
these are the kuffars that are specific; the only one who knows that he will be kafir forever is Allah
1. قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ
“Say (O Muhammad) : O unbelievers!”
قُلْ : It is Allah’s decision; He(Muhammad.s) is only communicating to them(the kuffar);
the fact that messenger.s(a noble character) said it, in itself is an insult
Allah is using the harshest tone, door of dawah for these people are closed, the doors of prophet’s mercy are closed
يَا : intimacy Ya Walad
يَا أَيُّهَا : extra dignity or formality, distance
anger of Allah, rage of Allah

2. لَا أَعْبُدُ مَا تَعْبُدُونَ
Ibadah: to be slave of Allah have obedience, intense love, tawakkul (trust) instructions and situations, sincerity (sake of Allah), terms of slavery (slaves to Allah has no sayings in the terms and conditions)
Ibadah/Ubudiya: worship(Magrib, Isha, fasting, praying, making Haj, reciting Quran, giving sadaqah) and slavery(in between the prayers, sleeping, wake up, driving to work, brushing your teeth, eating breakfast, parking your car)
“ I will not be enslaved to and I will not worship what you have been worshipping”
-- > They are worshippers of idols/ false gods and they are slaves of their own desires
Messenger.s: I refuse to worship your idols and I refuse to be enslaved to my own desires

3. وَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ
“And by the way you are not at all worshippers of, nor are you enslaved to”
-- > you have never been in the past, you are not now and you will never be in future in any way shape or form عَابِدُونَ , worshipping the same God that I do or being enslaved to the same God that I am being enslaved to أَعْبُدُ ”
4. وَلَا أَنَا عَابِدٌ مَا عَبَدْتُمْ
“And I am not a worshipper of, عَابِدٌ , I have never ever been enslaved to what you have been worshipping عَبَدْتُمْ”
5. وَلَا أَنْتُمْ عَابِدُونَ مَا أَعْبُدُ
“And you will not be worshippers of WHAT I worship”
Repitition for the past, the first was for the future (ayah3)
to use the harshest tone
مَا : what it means to be a slave of Allah and worshipper of Allah and what it means for you is completely different;
what an amazing God I worship and what pathetic falsehood you worship;
question of quality
6. لَكُمْ دِينُكُمْ وَلِيَ دِينِ
“to you be your religion, and to me be mine”
your religion is only for you and my deen is only for me
Between you and I there will be no exchange, I am leaving this town
دِينُ : loan, government- precise exchange, judgement- people get exactly what they deserve, consequences,
After decade of dawah this ayah was revealed
