This book sets out the sound interpretation of the Prophetic Sunnah on an important issue: takfir, declaring Muslims to be unbelievers. False interpretation is one of the main causes of takfir — a deviation and a dangerous social disease that eats away at society, soon tearing it apart, setting its members against one another, destroying the foundations of states and leaving them prey to unrest and backwardness. It is among the greatest forms of extremism in religion, and must be warned against to protect the honour and the security of Muslims.
The author discusses takfir in the interpretation of the noble hadith across nine areas: creed, morals, worship, social life, family, economics, criminal law, politics and the military. The book offers rich knowledge of its subject in simple language, combining thoroughness with brevity — a hallmark of the author's writing.
