Kufr means “not believing in Allah and His Messenger, whether that is accompanied by denial or it is not accompanied by denial but rather doubt, or turning away from faith out of jealousy or arrogance, or because one is following whims and desires that prevent one from following the message.”

Most of the Companions were of the view that Prophet Muhammad did not see Allah with his eyes on the night of the Mi`raj. `Aishah said: “Whoever told you that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw his Lord was lying.”

Islam means submission, humbling oneself, and obeying commands and heeding prohibitions without objection, sincerely worshipping Allah alone, believing what He tells us and having faith in Him.
