بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ

2.256

لَاۤ اِكْرَاهَ فِی الدِّیْنِ ﳜ قَدْ تَّبَیَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَیِّۚ-فَمَنْ یَّكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوْتِ وَ یُؤْمِنْۢ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقٰىۗ-لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ سَمِیْعٌ عَلِیْمٌ(256)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

There is no coercion in religion.[1] Indeed, the path of guidance has become distinct from misguidance; so, whosoever rejects Satan and believes in Allah has taken hold of the strongest handle which is unbreakable.[2] And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Commentary

[1]

Remember, a non-Muslim cannot be forced to embrace Islam, but one who attempts to adopt disbelief after Islam will be stopped as this is sacrilegious treason and leads to anarchy and disrupting the fabric of society.

[2]

Every misguided individual and transgressor are referred to as al-Ṭāghūt. This term has many meanings including the devil, fortuneteller, sorcerer, and idol. In this verse, one is instructed to avoid al-Ṭāghūt as one can only remain firmly established upon Islam if he stays away from the company, affiliation and admiration, books, and propagation of deviants; he who strikes his rope of faith with knives shall struggle to save it from being cut.
