69. HARMONY BETWEEN ISLAM AND KUFR IS IMPOSSIBLE
A delegation of the unbelievers of Quraysh came to the Beloved Prophet and said, ‘If you follow our religion, then we will follow yours. You worship our creators (idols) for a year, and we will worship your Creator, Allah for a year.’ The Prophet of Rahmah replied, ‘May Allah save me from the act that I associate partners to Him.’ Upon hearing this, the unbelievers of Quraysh said, ‘If you cannot worship the idols, then at least place your hand on one of our idols. We will then acknowledge you and begin worshipping your Rab.’
On this occasion, Surah Al-Kafiroon was revealed. The Noblest Prophet went to the Holy Ka’bah and recited this Surah to the unbelievers of Quraysh. Consequently, they became hopeless. Being stirred with anger, they began distressing the Holy Prophet in various ways.
Proclaim, (O dear Prophet Muhammad), ‘O unbelievers! Neither do I worship what you worship. Nor do you worship whom I worship. And neither will I ever worship what you worshiped. Nor will you worship whom I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion.’
Moral:
The moral that we deduce from the message in this Surah and through the blessed traditions of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet is that there can never be harmony between Islam and Kufr. Those Muslims who take part in the religious ceremonies of unbelievers to please them and give donations in such polytheistic rituals of idolatry should take lesson from this Surah and should believe that monotheism and polytheism can never coexist. A monotheist can never be a polytheist and a polytheist can never be a monotheist.
