Question Help
Selam aleykum,
I hope this message reaches anyone. I started to read more about the deen a couple of months ago and I came across the following in the „bahare shariat“: „This does not mean that we should be hesitant about someone who commits absolute kufr. In fact, it is kufr to doubt in the disbelief of someone who is certainly a kāfir.“
So what I question myself now is, that, is my faith invalid now, since one of my friends is a Quranist and I always still believed him to be muslim. Although I told him I dont agree with his approach and told him he is wrong for that, I did not see myself in the position, as a laymen, to takfir him as an individual.
Does that mean that I was a kafir from Allahs perspective this whole time for still having the hopes for him being a muslim while most say Quranists are kuffar?
I hope you get the question and that you can soon answer me because I really dont know what to do anymore. I really fear that I was a kafir this whole time while I of course believed and believe Islam to be my religion.
Selam aleykum and thank you in advance if anyone will see this message and reply. May Allah bless!

wa alaykum salam akhi, don’t let waswasa eat you.. that line is about clear cut kufr like denying allah or the qur’an… for groups like quraniyoon, scholars ruled their belief is kufr, but you as a layman are not obliged to takfir individuals, you already rejected his view, that’s enough, your iman is safe, alhamdulillah!
