4. Background of Revelation
The disbelievers of Makkah had made many offers to Prophet Mohammed pbuh, including wealth, women and kingdom to stop him from spreading his message.
When they failed, they came up with an offer of compromise.
This Surah is a response to this offer, saying: NO!

5. Virtues of this Surah
Prophet Mohamed pbuh used to recite Surah Al Kafiroon and Surah Al Ikhlaas in the Sunnah prayers of both Fajr and Maghrib.
Prophet Mohammed pbuh has advised some of his companions to recite it before going to sleep. He has told that this will protect them from Shirk (Polytheism).

كَافِر
Some Muslims think that all people know what Islam is! Through Media, Internet, …
Look at Muslims themselves % or more don’t know what is in the Qur’an. And they expect others to know what Islam is?
This is really arrogance and forgetting one’s own job. Look at how many times the Prophet pbuh conveyed the Message to Quraish in Makkah.. for 13 years!!! How many years have we done? … 13 hours so far?

12. يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ

Allah is angry with the disbelievers. So Be Alert!
Problem of Kafirs: Ego

14. قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ !
Main problem with Kafirs? They followed their Nafs, Egos, income, positions, institutions, traditions etc. They refused to follow the truth, in spite of knowing it.
Let people know the dangers of following egos and traditions. Follow Qur’an/Sunnah
O Allah! Let us not reject or neglect the truth because of our egos and positions.

Neither a message that we should stop Da’wah. Did the Prophet stop preaching after this revelation?
It was revealed in response to offer of compromise. No compromise in faith matters.
