Kufr is of two types:
The Minor Disbelief and the Greater Disbelief.
As for the Minor Disbelief, the one which does not take one out of the religion , it is the disbelief in Allaah's bounties and favours. The evidence is His, the Exalted's saying:
Allaah sets forth a Parable: a city enjoying security and quiet, abundantly supplied with sustenance from every place: Yet was it ungrateful for the favours of Allaah: so Allaah made it taste of hunger and terror (in extremes) (closing in on it) like a garment (from every side), because of the (evil) which (its people) wrought. [Nahl 16:112]
As for the Greater Disbelief, the one which takes a person out of the religion, it is of five types:
ONE: (Takdheeb) Denial of the Truth:
The evidence: And who is more unjust than the one who invents a lie against Allaah or rejects the Truth when it comes to him. Is there not an abode in Jahannam for the disbelievers? [Ankabut 29:68]
TWO: Disbelief out of Arrogance and Mere Refusal whilst knowing that it is the Truth:
The evidence is the saying of Allaah: And when We commanded the angels to prostate to Aadam they prostrated, (all of them), except Iblees. He refused, became arrogant and was of the disbelievers. [Baqarah 2:34]
THREE: Disbelief out of Uncertainty (or Conjecture):
Due to His saying: He went into his garden in a state (of mind) unjust to his soul: He said, "I deem not that this will ever perish, nor do I deem that the Hour (of Judgment) will (ever) come: Even if I am brought back to my Lord, I shall surely find (there) something better in exchange." His companion said to him, in the course of the argument with him: "Do you deny Him Who created thee out of dust, then out of a sperm-drop, then fashioned you into a man? "But (I think) for my part that He is Allaah , My Lord, and none shall I associate with my Lord. [Kahf 18:35-38]
FOUR: Disbelief of Turning Away (from the religion):
The evidence is the speech of Allaah: Those who disbelieve turn away from that about which they are warned. [Ahqaaf 46:3]
FIVE: Disbelief out of Hypocrisy:
The Exalted said: That is because they believed then disbelieved so Allaah sealed their hearts so that they do not understand. [Munaafiqoon 63:3] This article is available in PDF format
