[quote]What are the basic differences among the Mushrikin, Kafirs and the People of the book? As the module repeatedly defines kafirs as those who deny the truth knowingly (denial not due to the ignorance), then the following question arises. How those Kafirs know about the truth in the first place that they deny deliberately? As for the Mushrikin, they simply deny the truth because of their ignorance and perhaps for their family traditions. They CAN NOT know the truth because there is no way for them to verify the truth. At best, they can be convinced about the truth but not with certainty. So, their denial does not fall into the catagory of Kuffar. As for the kafir, there has to be a source for the truth which he denies. What this source could be if it not the Divine book that he received? In other words, People of the book knew from their scriptures about the arrival of the last Prophet (swallellahu Alihe Wassalam). So, whoever amongst them deny this falls into the category of Kuffar and becomes kafir. So, can it be deduced safely that the Kafirs are a sub set of the People of the book? Please comment on my reasoning.[/quote]
