Kufr due to Denial

When Rasulullah (s) announced his prophethood, the people who followed earlier books revealed by Allah should have known and accepted that Rasulullah (s) was the promised Prophet of Allah and that he was teaching the truth. His message was similar to the message of their books, and their books said that he would come.

Story #3

One night, Kumayl ibn Ziyad, a loyal companion of Imam Ali (a), had a dream. In his dream he saw a beautiful white cloth, but when the people saw the cloth they began tearing it and ripping it to shreds. He was disturbed by this dream and went to Imam Ali (a) for an explanation of what it meant.

Imam Ali (a) said to him: ‘O Kumayl, what you have seen is the end of times!’ Imam explained: ‘The cloth you saw was the pure, beautiful religion of Islam revealed to Rasulullah (s). What did the people do? Everyone took what they liked from Islam and left the rest.’
