• 2:6 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d]Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.
• 2:26 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرُوا۟ disbelievedIndeed, Allah is not timid to present an example - that of a mosquito or what is smaller than it. And those who have believed know that it is the truth from their Lord. But as for those who disbelieve, they say, "What did Allah intend by this as an example?" He misleads many thereby and guides many thereby. And He misleads not except the defiantly disobedient,
• 2:28 · Al-Baqarahتَكْفُرُونَ (can) you disbelieveHow can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.

So call upon your Lord to bring forth for us from the earth its green herbs and its cucumbers and its garlic and its lentils and its onions." [Moses] said, "Would you exchange what is better for what is less? Go into [any] settlement and indeed, you will have what you have asked." And they were covered with humiliation and poverty and returned with anger from Allah [upon them]. That was because they [repeatedly] disbelieved in the signs of Allah and killed the prophets without right. That was because they disobeyed and were [habitually] transgressing.
• 2:85 · Al-Baqarahوَتَكْفُرُونَ and disbelieveThen, you are those [same ones who are] killing one another and evicting a party of your people from their homes, cooperating against them in sin and aggression. And if they come to you as captives, you ransom them, although their eviction was forbidden to you. So do you believe in part of the Scripture and disbelieve in part? Then what is the recompense for those who do that among you except disgrace in worldly life; and on the Day of Resurrection they will be sent back to the severest of punishment. And Allah is not unaware of what you do.
• 2:89 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرُوا۟ disbelieved And when there came to them a Book from Allah confirming that which was with them - although before they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieved - but [then] when there came to them that which they recognized, they disbelieved in it; so the curse of Allah will be upon the disbelievers.

• 2:90 · Al-Baqarahيَكْفُرُوا۟ they disbelieveHow wretched is that for which they sold themselves - that they would disbelieve in what Allah has revealed through [their] outrage that Allah would send down His favor upon whom He wills from among His servants. So they returned having [earned] wrath upon wrath. And for the disbelievers is a humiliating punishment.
• 2:91 · Al-Baqarahوَيَكْفُرُونَ And they disbelieveAnd when it is said to them, "Believe in what Allah has revealed," they say, "We believe [only] in what was revealed to us." And they disbelieve in what came after it, while it is the truth confirming that which is with them. Say, "Then why did you kill the prophets of Allah before, if you are [indeed] believers?"
• 2:99 · Al-Baqarahيَكْفُرُ disbelievesAnd We have certainly revealed to you verses [which are] clear proofs, and no one would deny them except the defiantly disobedient.
• 2:102 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرَ disbelievedAnd they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]." And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. But the Children of Israel certainly knew that whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.

But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, "We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic]."

• 2:105 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرُوا۟ disbelieveNeither those who disbelieve from the People of the Scripture nor the polytheists wish that any good should be sent down to you from your Lord. But Allah selects for His mercy whom He wills, and Allah is the possessor of great bounty.
• 2:121 · Al-Baqarahيَكْفُرْ disbelievesThose to whom We have given the Book recite it with its true recital. They [are the ones who] believe in it. And whoever disbelieves in it - it is they who are the losers.

[Allah] said. "And whoever disbelieves - I will grant him enjoyment for a little; then I will force him to the punishment of the Fire, and wretched is the destination."
• 2:152 · Al-Baqarahتَكْفُرُونِ (be) ungrateful to MeSo remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.
• 2:161 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d]Indeed, those who disbelieve and die while they are disbelievers - upon them will be the curse of Allah and of the angels and the people, all together,
• 2:171 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d]The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep - deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.
• 2:212 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d]Beautified for those who disbelieve is the life of this world, and they ridicule those who believe. But those who fear Allah are above them on the Day of Resurrection. And Allah gives provision to whom He wills without account.
• 2:253 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرَ ۚ deniedThose messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allah spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the Son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit. If Allah had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them.

• 2:256 · Al-Baqarahيَكْفُرْ disbelievesThere shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong.

• 2:257 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرُوٓا۟ disbelieve(d)Allah is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are Taghut.

• 2:258 · Al-Baqarahكَفَرَ ۗ disbelievedHave you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allah had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allah brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people.
• 3:4 · Ali 'Imranكَفَرُوا۟ disbelieve[d]Before, as guidance for the people. And He revealed the Qur'an. Indeed, those who disbelieve in the verses of Allah will have a severe punishment, and Allah is exalted in Might, the Owner of Retribution.

• 3:21 · Ali 'Imranيَكْفُرُونَ disbelieveThose who disbelieve in the signs of Allah and kill the prophets without right and kill those who order justice from among the people - give them tidings of a painful punishment.

• 2:104 · Al-Baqarahوَلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ And for the disbelieversO you who have believed, say not [to Allah 's Messenger], "Ra'ina" but say, "Unthurna" and listen. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment.
• 2:109 · Al-Baqarahكُفَّارًا (to) disbelieversMany of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
• 2:286 · Al-Baqarahٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ [the] disbelieversAllah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."

• 3:100 · Ali 'Imranكَـٰفِرِينَ (as) disbelieversO you who have believed, if you obey a party of those who were given the Scripture, they would turn you back, after your belief, [to being] unbelievers.

• 4:102 · An-Nisaلِلْكَـٰفِرِينَ for the disbelieversAnd when you are among them and lead them in prayer, let a group of them stand [in prayer] with you and let them carry their arms. And when they have prostrated, let them be [in position] behind you and have the other group come forward which has not [yet] prayed and let them pray with you, taking precaution and carrying their arms. Those who disbelieve wish that you would neglect your weapons and your baggage so they could come down upon you in one [single] attack.

• 2:88 · Al-Baqarahبِكُفْرِهِمْ for their disbeliefAnd they said, "Our hearts are wrapped." But, [in fact], Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so little is it that they believe.
• 2:93 · Al-Baqarahبِكُفْرِهِمْ ۚ because of their disbeliefAnd [recall] when We took your covenant and raised over you the mount, [saying], "Take what We have given you with determination and listen." They said [instead], "We hear and disobey." And their hearts absorbed [the worship of] the calf because of their disbelief. Say, "How wretched is that which your faith enjoins upon you, if you should be believers."
• 2:108 · Al-Baqarahٱلْكُفْرَ [the] disbeliefOr do you intend to ask your Messenger as Moses was asked before? And whoever exchanges faith for disbelief has certainly strayed from the soundness of the way.
• 2:217 · Al-Baqarahوَكُفْرٌۢ and disbeliefThey ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.
• 3:52 · Ali 'Imranٱلْكُفْرَ [the] disbeliefBut when Jesus felt [persistence in] disbelief from them, he said, "Who are my supporters for [the cause of] Allah?" The disciples said, "We are supporters for Allah. We have believed in Allah and testify that we are Muslims [submitting to Him].
• 3:80 · Ali 'Imranبِٱلْكُفْرِ to [the] disbeliefNor could he order you to take the angels and prophets as lords. Would he order you to disbelief after you had been Muslims?
• 3:90 · Ali 'Imranكُفْرًۭا (in) disbeliefIndeed, those who reject the message after their belief and then increase in disbelief - never will their [claimed] repentance be accepted, and they are the ones astray.
• 3:167 · Ali 'Imranلِلْكُفْرِ to disbeliefAnd that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allah or [at least] defend." They said, "If we had known [there would be] fighting, we would have followed you." They were nearer to disbelief that day than to faith, saying with their mouths what was not in their hearts. And Allah is most Knowing of what they conceal -
• 3:176 · Ali 'Imranٱلْكُفْرِ ۚ [the] disbeliefAnd do not be grieved, [O Muhammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will never harm Allah at all. Allah intends that He should give them no share in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.
• 3:177 · Ali 'Imranٱلْكُفْرَ [the] disbeliefIndeed, those who purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith - never will they harm Allah at all, and for them is a painful punishment.
• 4:46 · An-Nisaبِكُفْرِهِمْ for their disbeliefAmong the Jews are those who distort words from their [proper] usages and say, "We hear and disobey" and "Hear but be not heard" and "Ra'ina," twisting their tongues and defaming the religion. And if they had said [instead], "We hear and obey" and "Wait for us [to understand]," it would have been better for them and more suitable. But Allah has cursed them for their disbelief, so they believe not, except for a few.
• 4:137 · An-Nisaكُفْرًۭا (in) disbelief Indeed, those who have believed then disbelieved, then believed, then disbelieved, and then increased in disbelief - never will Allah forgive them, nor will He guide them to a way.

• 5:41 · Al-Ma'idahٱلْكُفْرِ [the] disbelief O Messenger, let them not grieve you who hasten into disbelief of those who say, "We believe" with their mouths, but their hearts believe not, and from among the Jews. [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, listening to another people who have not come to you. They distort words beyond their [proper] usages, saying "If you are given this, take it; but if you are not given it, then beware." But he for whom Allah intends fitnah - never will you possess [power to do] for him a thing against Allah. Those are the ones for whom Allah does not intend to purify their hearts. For them in this world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.
• 5:61 · Al-Ma'idahبِٱلْكُفْرِ with disbeliefAnd when they come to you, they say, "We believe." But they have entered with disbelief [in their hearts], and they have certainly left with it. And Allah is most knowing of what they were concealing.
• 5:64 · Al-Ma'idahوَكُفْرًۭا ۚ and disbeliefAnd the Jews say, "The hand of Allah is chained." Chained are their hands, and cursed are they for what they say. Rather, both His hands are extended; He spends however He wills. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. And We have cast among them animosity and hatred until the Day of Resurrection. Every time they kindled the fire of war [against you], Allah extinguished it. And they strive throughout the land [causing] corruption, and Allah does not like corrupters.
• 5:68 · Al-Ma'idahوَكُفْرًۭا ۖ and disbeliefSay, "O People of the Scripture, you are [standing] on nothing until you uphold [the law of] the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord." And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in transgression and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.
• 9:12 · At-Tawbahٱلْكُفْرِ ۙ (of) [the] disbeliefAnd if they break their oaths after their treaty and defame your religion, then fight the leaders of disbelief, for indeed, there are no oaths [sacred] to them; [fight them that] they might cease.
• 9:17 · At-Tawbahبِٱلْكُفْرِ ۚ [with] disbeliefIt is not for the polytheists to maintain the mosques of Allah [while] witnessing against themselves with disbelief. [For] those, their deeds have become worthless, and in the Fire they will abide eternally.
• 9:23 · At-Tawbahٱلْكُفْرَ [the] disbeliefO you who have believed, do not take your fathers or your brothers as allies if they have preferred disbelief over belief. And whoever does so among you - then it is those who are the wrongdoers.
• 9:37 · At-Tawbahٱلْكُفْرِ ۖ the disbeliefIndeed, the postponing [of restriction within sacred months] is an increase in disbelief by which those who have disbelieved are led [further] astray. They make it lawful one year and unlawful another year to correspond to the number made unlawful by Allah and [thus] make lawful what Allah has made unlawful. Made pleasing to them is the evil of their deeds; and Allah does not guide the disbelieving people.
• 9:74 · At-Tawbahٱلْكُفْرِ (of) the disbeliefThey swear by Allah that they did not say [anything against the Prophet] while they had said the word of disbelief and disbelieved after their [pretense of] Islam and planned that which they were not to attain. And they were not resentful except [for the fact] that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them of His bounty. So if they repent, it is better for them; but if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And there will not be for them on earth any protector or helper.
• 9:97 · At-Tawbahكُفْرًۭا (in) disbeliefThe bedouins are stronger in disbelief and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the limits of what [laws] Allah has revealed to His Messenger. And Allah is Knowing and Wise.
• 9:107 · At-Tawbahوَكُفْرًۭا and (for) disbeliefAnd [there are] those [hypocrites] who took for themselves a mosque for causing harm and disbelief and division among the believers and as a station for whoever had warred against Allah and His Messenger before. And they will surely swear, "We intended only the best." And Allah testifies that indeed they are liars.
• 14:28 · Ibrahimكُفْرًۭا (for) disbeliefHave you not considered those who exchanged the favor of Allah for disbelief and settled their people [in] the home of ruin?
• 16:106 · An-Nahlبِٱلْكُفْرِ to disbeliefWhoever disbelieves in Allah after his belief... except for one who is forced [to renounce his religion] while his heart is secure in faith. But those who [willingly] open their breasts to disbelief, upon them is wrath from Allah, and for them is a great punishment;
