Risk: Medium- Approved rendering
- غیر قوموں
- Transliteration
- g͟hair qaumõ
- Rejected alternatives
- کافر
Gentiles
CRITICAL CAUTION: کافر (kafir, ‘unbeliever/infidel’) must never be used for ‘Gentile’ — in Islamic theology this is a sharply pejorative and theologically loaded term for a rejector of Islam specifically, not a neutral ethnic descriptor for ‘non-Jew.’ غیر قوموں (‘other nations/peoples’) is the correct, neutral rendering.
