Meaning Of Being Ungrateful To God (Kufran-E-Naimat)
@Irfan76 sir okay so in religion, kufr is defined as 2 things. one is straight disbelief the kufr in terms of negating islam. and other is kufr in it’s linguistic meaning of ungrateful, am i right sir? because i read that being grateful or shukur guzar is done by 3 things, heart, words and actions. in an article these 3 things were mentioned that one realizes that blessing is a blessing from Allah (step 1) and that he also praises Allah (step 2, by words) and uses it for obeying Allah or useful halal purpose and does not use it in activities of disobedience (step 3). and it was said that if any of the thing is missing then it’s not a grateful person. so some confusion arose that every small sin that a person does, always a part of body or a material thing is used for that sin activity, no matter how small the sin is, so that body part or that thing which was blessing of Allah was used to for sin, so hence it is ungratefulness (kufr e naimat) and it means even smallest of the sin is kufr? and also that for example a father buys a expensive cycle for his son, so the son uses it for exercises and becomes fit, but the son only rides it couple of times then leaves it for long time and does not do exercise with it. so with time the whole cycle gets rusted and useless, so the blessing was wasted, hence kufr e naimat, which means even this case is real kufr? but sir as you told that kufr e naimat or ungrateful is not the real kufr. i mean not every kufr e naimat is real kufr but every real kufr is kufr e naimat. and these 2 things are not equal in the sense wherever ungratefulness is found even the slightest then it means real kufr is there. am i right sir? because else it would mean that every sin is real kufr indirectly, and every wastage of a blessing is kufr. and even using up a thing for benefit has different degrees, some take fullest benefits of blessings (like someone using a phone for 5 years until it fully breaks down) and some people use it less (like someone who bought a new phone after a little time and the old phone just in the cupboard getting rotten) etc. but we don’t see such things that they are called kufr in Islamic perspective. am i right sir?
