In Pakistan, calling another Muslim a 'Kafir' (an infidel) sells really well and is as easy as buying an over-the-counter drug. Not only is it a lucrative affair, but ensures power and dominance too. Now that there is a hardly any Muslim left in this country with a 96 percent Muslim population that has not been labelled a 'Kafir' with several Fatwas (decrees) issued by sects against each other declaring the followers of others infidels, this unbridled sectarian hate-mongering will push Pakistan to the point where Muslims will be at each other's throats.
It is a very serious matter to declare somebody "Kafir". Takfir or the condemnation of a Muslim by another Muslim as a Kafir is strictly prohibited in the Quran, the Hadith:
Declaring somebody a "Kafir" is a very serious matter. If the other person is not Kafir than you are surely "Kafir" as per following Hadeeth:
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "If a man says to his brother, O kafir (disbeliever)!' Then surely one of them is such (i.e., a Kifir). " (Sahih Bukhari; Book #73, Hadith #125)
Whoever accuses a believer of Kufr (disbelief), then it is as if he killed him:
Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak: (who was one of the companions who gave the pledge of allegiance to the Prophet underneath the tree (Al-Hudaibiya)) Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam (i.e. if somebody swears by saying that he is a non-Muslim e.g., a Jew or a Christian, etc.) in case he is telling a lie, he is really so if his oath is false, and a person is not bound to fulfill a vow about a thing which he does not possess. And if somebody commits suicide with anything in this world, he will be tortured with that very thing on the Day of Resurrection; And if somebody curses a believer, then his sin will be as if he murdered him; And whoever accuses a believer of Kufr (disbelief), then it is as if he killed him." (Sahih Bukhari; Book #73, Hadith #73)
It is not allowed to kill somebody even during war if he recite Kalima, (لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ ٱللَّٰهِ):
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: Allah's Apostle sent us towards Al-Huruqa, and in the morning we attacked them and defeated them. I and an Ansari man followed a man from among them and when we took him over, he said, "La ilaha illal-Lah." On hearing that, the Ansari man stopped, but I killed him by stabbing him with my spear. When we returned, the Prophet came to know about that and he said, "O Usama! Did you kill him after he had said "La ilaha ilal-Lah?" I said, "But he said so only to save himself." The Prophet kept on repeating that so often that i wished i had not embraced Islam before that day. (Sahih Bukhari: Book #59, Hadith #568)
Be kind to other Muslim brothers:
'Abdullah b. Amr b. al-As is reported to have said: Verily a person asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) who amongst the Muslims was better. Upon this (the Holy Prophet) remarked: From whose hand and tongue the Muslims are safe. (Sahih Muslim; Book #001, Hadith #0064)

(Qur'an 4:94) يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا وَلَا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقَىٰ إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِنًا تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَعِندَ اللَّهِ مَغَانِمُ كَثِيرَةٌ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ كُنتُم مِّن قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنُوا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا
O ye who believe! When ye go abroad in the cause of Allah, investigate carefully, and say not to any one who offers you a salutation: "Thou art none of a believer!" Coveting the perishable goods of this life: with Allah are profits and spoils abundant. Even thus were ye yourselves before, till Allah conferred on you His favours: Therefore carefully investigate. For Allah is well aware of all that ye do.اے ایمان والو! جب الله کی راہ میں سفر کرو تو تحقیق کر لیا کرو اور جو تم پر سلام کہے اس کو مت کہو کہ مسلمان نہیں ہے تم دنیا کی زندگی کا سامان چاہتے ہو سو الله کے ہاں بہت غنیمتیں ہیں تم بھی تو اس سے پہلے ایسے ہی تھے پھر الله نے تم پر احسان کیا لہذا تحقیق سے کام لیا کرو بے شک الله تمہارے کاموں سے باخبر ہے

ہمیں رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے قبیلہ حرقہ کی طرف بھیجا۔ ہم نے صبح کے وقت ان پر حملہ کیا اور انہیں شکست دے دی ‘ پھر میں اور ایک اور انصاری صحابی اس قبیلہ کے ایک شخص ( مرداس بن عمر نامی ) سے بھڑ گئے۔ جب ہم نے اس پر غلبہ پا لیا تو وہ لا الہٰ الا اللہ کہنے لگا۔ انصاری تو فوراً ہی رک گیا لیکن میں نے اسے اپنے برچھے سے قتل کر دیا۔ جب ہم لوٹے تو نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو بھی اس کی خبر ہوئی۔ آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے دریافت فرمایا کہ اسامہ کیا اس کے لا الہٰ الا اللہ کہنے کے باوجود تم نے اسے قتل کر دیا؟ میں نے عرض کیا کہ وہ قتل سے بچنا چاہتا تھا ( اس نے یہ کلمہ دل سے نہیں پڑھا تھا ) ۔ اس پر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم باربار یہی فرماتے رہے ( کیا تم نے اس کے لا الہٰ الا اللہ کہنے پر بھی اسے قتل کر دیا ) کہ میرے دل میں یہ آرزو پیدا ہوئی کہ کاش میں آج سے پہلے اسلام نہ لاتا۔ (Sahih Bukhari - 4269 (islam360)

عمرو بن حارث نے یزید بن ابی حبیب سے ، انہوں نے ابوخیر سے روایت کی اور انہوں نے حضرت عبداللہ بن عمرو بن عاص رضی اللہ عنہما سے سنا ، وہ فرما رہے تھے : ایک آدمی نے رسول اللہﷺ سے پوچھا : مسلمانوں میں سے بہتر کون ہے ؟ آپ نے فرمایا : ’’ جس کی زبان اور ہاتھ سے دیگر مسلمان امن میں ہوں - Sahih Muslim - 161 (Islam360)
