How many types of disbelief and what are they?
There are two types of disbelief. Namely:
1. Internal Kufr
2. Manifest Kufr
What is Internal Kufr
If there is complete faith in Tauhid in the heart and complete disbelief in Shirk, then it is Iman. And if the heart does not have full faith in Tawheed, that is, it has faith in any shirk, then its name is Kufr or Kufr of the heart.
What is Manifest Kufr
If there is full recognition and implementation of Tauhid in words and deeds and complete denial and non-implementation of shirk, then it is Islam. And if there is no full recognition or implementation of Tauhid in words or deeds, there is no recognition or implementation of any shirk, then it is kufr or blatant kufr.
What are the forms of kufr?
Although there are two types of disbelief, there are three forms. Namely:
1. Hypocrisy
2. External kufr
3. Complete kufr
Our main topic today is external kufr which is one of the three forms of kufr.

When there is only open disbelief, there is no inner disbelief, then it is called external kufr.

Although there are two types of external disbelief, there are three types. For example:
1. Kufr of mere words
2. Kufr of mere work

Kufr of mere words
When disbelief exists only in words, it does not exist in the heart or in deeds, then it is called disbelief in words only.
Kufr of mere work
When Kufr exists only in deeds, Kufr does not exist in heart or in words, then it is called Kufr only in deeds.
Complete external kufr
When kufr exists in both words and deeds, it is called complete external kufr.
