Thus, how can a person who disrespects Rassoollalah �, claim to have complete Imaan on the Kalima of which Risaalat is an integral part? The Quraan has explicitly censured those who falter Islam, its teachings and especially the Holy Prophet ii1. with the following words, "Make no excuses, you have already become disbelievers after being Muslims." (Surah Tauba, Verse 66) Wil l merely facing the Qibla forNamaaz b lanket a Shia who says that the faultless Quraan is defective and Sayyiduna Ali � receives Wahi (revelation) ? Indeed, no ! Thinking rationally also leads a person to conclude that merely facing the Qibla in Namaaz and reading the Kalima is not Islam. If this was the case then the personwho reads Namaaz towards the Qiblajust once and then prostrates towards idols will remain in the folds oflsJam. How can Imaan and Kufr be united? Similarly the third argument is also baseless and a lie against the noble Fuqahaa. The learned j urists rule that if a person has 99 utterances of Imaan andonlyone ofKufr, that individual is unanimously a Kaafir. The Fuqahaa have said, "If a Muslim says something from which 99 interpretations ofKufr canbe made and one ofImaan, tGi!n he will not be called a Kaafir. Maybe that one interpretation of Imaan was what he meant" However when it become.. explicitly known that he harbors even one Kufr, he will become a Kaafir no matter how many other points ofImaan he possesses. AMuslim is a Muslim until Ma'zallah he utters or makes Kufr and a Kaafir is a Kaafir until he brings Imaan and becomes aMuslim. To deem a Muslim to be a Muslim and a Kaafir as a Kaafir is also from Zarooriyaate-Deen. Therefore the fourth argument is i l logical and irrational. Ifwe cannot call aKaafiraKaafirbecausewe do not know the state he will die in is to be adopted, then we cannot call a Muslim a Muslim also because we do not know the state he will die on as well .
