There is absolutely No Compulsion in Religion.




There is absolutely No Compulsion in Religion.
Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah:
﴿ لَآ إِكۡرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ‌ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشۡدُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَىِّ‌ۚ
(256. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path.
There is no compulsion in Islam.)
﴿ لَآ إِكۡرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ‌ۖ ﴾
(There is no compulsion in religion), meaning, "Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Rather, whoever Allah directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty. Whoever Allah blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam.''
