Kufr ishonchga zid keladi. Kufrning ham imon kabi turli shoxobchalari bor. Oldinroq bilib olganmizki, iymon asosan itoatkorona ishonch bo‘lib, ibodat amallariga to‘liq bo‘ysunishni talab qiladi. Demak, kufr asosan rad etish va qaysarlik bo‘lib, takabburlik va itoatsizlikka olib keladi. Shunga ko‘ra, barcha itoat amallari iymonning shoxobchalari qatoriga kiradi, barcha itoatsizlik amallari esa kufrning shoxobchalari qatoriga kiradi. Bundan tashqari, ikki turdagi kufr borligini bilish lozim: Katta kufr, u kishini Islom dinidan butunlay chiqaradi. Bu aqidaviy kufr bo‘lib, qalb ikror qilgan narsaga va uning amallaridan birortasiga yoki ularning barchasiga zid keladi. Kichik kufr esa kishini Islom dinidan chiqarmaydi. U faqat iymonning kamolotiga zid keladi. Bu amaliy kufr deb ataladigan narsa bo‘lib, na qalb ikroriga, na uning amallariga zid keladi. U buni talab ham qilmaydi, zaruriy ham qilmaydi.

A--- Disbelief contradicts Faith. Disbelief has different branches just as Faith does. We knew earlier that faith is basically a submissive belief that requires complete submission to deeds of obedience. So, disbelief is basically a kind of rejection and stubbornness that incurs arrogance and disobedience. Thereupon, all deeds of obedience are among the branches of belief; while all deeds of disobedience are among the branches of disbelief. Moreover, one should know that there are two types of disbelief: the Major Disbelief, which excludes one completely from the fold of Islam. This is the dogmatic disbelief that contradicts the utterance of the heart and its deeds or one of them. And, the Minor Disbelief, which does not exclude one from the fold of Islam. It only contradicts the perfection of belief. This is the so-called practical disbelief that contradicts neither the utterance of the heart, nor its deeds. It does not require or necessitate this as well.
