There are various factors contribute to the development of takfir issue, including differences in views among Muslim society.

A clear understanding of takfir can help to address this issue from spreading further among the community. Muslim preachers need to play a significant role in curbing the misunderstanding of takfir issue. The methodology used to collect data involved textual analysis from various sources such as books, journals, e-books, and others.

The findings of the study indicate that takfir can only be performed when there is clear evidence, no coercion from any party against the individual being declared as kafir, and thorough assessment by religious institutions that are responsible in Islamic matters. Individuals or groups cannot arbitrarily declare others as kafir as it can have significant impacts in this world and the hereafter.en-USTakfirMuslimIslamic principlesDaʻwah (Islam)DakwahMuslim preachersReligious institutionsIslamic religious educationReligious conflictExtremismtext::thesis::master thesis
