Here, by Kufr I mean the Real Kufr and not the apparent Kufr that can be removed by saying the two phrases of witness - La ilaaha illallah and Muhammadur Rasoolullah . Such a person, although a Muslim through his profession, is so weak in his faith that it cannot take him to the level of salvation. The reason is that the person hasn't yet understood that the worldly circumstances have no element of permanence and they are absolutely under the Will and Wish of Allah (S.w.T.).

The Holy Qur’an mentions several such matters that are the cause of admonition. Just think of the River Nile parting from the middle With Allah (S.w.T.)'s wish and twelve dry passages appeared in the river, The bottom of the river became so dry that when people and their animals traversed the passages, dust came up there. Does this not demonstrate that the circumstance had lost its effect and everything therefore is under the control of the Almighty.

If Allah (S.w.T.) wishes, absolute thirst can be quenched without drinking water. But if His Wish is not there, then however much a person drinks water, his thirst will not be quenched. In certain ailments, a person is unable to gulp even a morsel of water. An example is the ailment of dropsy. Abdul Malik and the Ailment of Dropsy It is written that Abdul Malik Marwan al-Umawi was afflicted with the ailment of dropsy.

His expert physician advised him that for a day or two no water should go down his throat. If he drank any water, it would prove fatal. But thirst dominated the unfortunate fellow. He insisted that, in spite the strict instruction to the contrary, he should be given some water to drink. He cried, ”Give me some water, even if it takes my life out!” Despite knowing well, that intake of water would kill him he drank some and died! Yes!

The same water that is so essential for life, when consumed against the wish of Allah (S.w.T.), instead of supporting life, becomes the cause of its extinction. It is written about Muawiya that, as said by the Prophet (S.), he was suffering from the disease of Jaw’u al-Baqr . The symptom of this disease is that the person becomes a veritable glutton and is not sated, however much he eats. Ashab al-Fīl In the Verse of Fīl (the Elephant) there is reference to some incredible happening.

When Abraha, and his army of elephants, came to Mecca with the purpose of demolishing the Ka’aba , suddenly there appeared a swarm of swallows in the sky.
