The friends of God will certainly have nothing to fear, nor will they be grieved. Al Quran 10:62

This answer is disappointing. (1) Of course, the word "infidel" does not appear in the Qu'ran: it is an ENGLISH word. However it is used for "Kafir" in some English translations of the Qu'ran. --see AL-QU�RAN A Contemporary Translation by Ahmed Ali. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1993. E.g., 3:56; 5:72; 8:73. (2) "Infidel" was not first used by Christians for non-christians: not only is it an English word, but its usage only goes back to the 15th century. (3) The word used in the West was the Latin "infidelis" which means the same as "Kafir"--one who disbelieves, one who rejects the truth, an unbeliever. Edited by fool4JC - 26 August 2010 at 11:07am |
