- What is the difference between a Mushrik and a Kaafir?
There
are generalities (shared between them) and specifics (unique to each of
them). Shirk is more general than Kufr, for every Mushrik is a Kaafir
but not every Kaafir is a Mushrik. The Mushrik worships Allaah and
worships other than Him, as for the Kaafir, then he rejects the
existence of Allaah the Mighty and Exalted and does not acknowledge
Allaah the Mighty and Majestic, and nor does he acknowledge a religion
from amongst the religions. This is the rejecting Kaafir. As for the
Mushrik, he acknowledges and believes, however, he worships Allaah and
worships other than Him, hence he is a Mushrik Kaafir. Thus, every
Mushrik is a Kaafir and not every Kaafir is a Mushrik, since the Kaafir
can be a Mulhid, Jaahid (Athiest, Rejecter). Silsilah Sharh ar-Rasaa’il p. 239 / Shaikh Saalih al-Fawzaan
