We will take the last question a son from Lahore Pakistan, he asks,
Is it permissible to call Kaffir a Kaffir.
The word Kaffir is derived from the root word Gopher, which means
to reject, to conceal or to hide.
Linguistically the word Kaffir means to reject to conceal or to
hide an Islamic terminology Kaffir means a person who rejects or
hides the truth of Islam.
So, a non Muslim in Arabic is called as a Kaffir.
So when a person is speaking Arabic, if he's referring to non
Muslim he will call them a Kaffir.
So it is permissible to call a non Muslim a Kaffir. Because this word
tougher if you translate it into English, it refers to as a non
Muslim.
So as I said, linguistically, it means to reject to conceal or to
hide, like the farmer, he hides the seeds. But in Islamic
terminology, it refers to someone who rejects or hides the truth of
Islam. non Muslim in Arabic is called as a cafe. If the kaffir or
the non Muslim did not like this terminology of Kaffir then I would
request them to accept Islam and we will stop referring them as a
Kaffir that is a non Muslim
