Although numerous definitions have been offered for kufr (Disbelief), the precise delineation and explanation of its meaning, alongside the presentation of a comprehensive definition based on narrations, remain key research imperatives. This is due to the fact that kufr is a pivotal term that plays a determinative role in the destiny of both the individual and society. Generally, kufr refers to a negative stance toward religion and its teachings. The precise understanding of this term is contingent upon an examination of its concept and application in the verses of the Quran and the narrations. This article, structured upon a descriptive-analytical methodology, addresses the categorization, validation, semantic analysis, and ultimately the synthesis of narrations related to the definition of kufr Al-Kulaynī’s Kitāb al-Īmān wa al-Kufr (Book of Disbelief and Belief) in al-kāfī. This paper attempts to address the question of whether kufr in the narrations is affirmative in meaning (active negative action) or negative in meaning (absence of a positive reaction, without necessarily entailing an explicit negative reaction)? The research findings indicate that kufr, as utilized in the aforementioned narrations, primarily refers to active and conscious negative action against religion, signifying: the abandonment of an action with disdain despite acknowledging its correctness, rebelliousness and persistence in opposing God, intentional neglect of obligatory duties, altering divine commandments, and denial of the guardianship (wilāyah) of the Ahl al-Bayt(PBUT). Therefore, non-acceptance of religion or doubt in religious teachings is not considered kufr unless it is accompanied by an active and conscious stance against it.
