Are Christians kaafirs?

Question

My question is that I want to know are Christians for Muslims kaafir? If yes where can I find this subject in the Quran.

Answer

Christians do not believe in the Deen of Islam and the risaalat of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). Anyone who does not believe in the Deen of Islam as the true Deen and the risaalat of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is a kaafir.

Refer to Surah nisa, Ayat number 151.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
