What is Takfir or takfeer?

Takfir / takfeer
A Takfir is an apostate, that is, not a true Muslim.
A person that pretends to still be Muslim.

Koran 5:72 reads:

“They have certainly disbelieved who say, ‘Allah is the Messiah, the son of Mary’ while the Messiah has said, ‘O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.’ Whoever joins other gods with Allah,- Allah will forbid him the garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrong-doers be no one to help.”
