From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a sub-article to Al-Baqara and Ayah

Verse (ayah) 256 of Al-Baqara is one of the most quoted verses in the Islamic holy scripture, the Qur'an. It famously notes that "there is no compulsion in religion."

[edit] Verse

There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the Right Path has become distinct from the wrong path. Whoever disbelieves in Tâghût and believes in God (ar. Allah), then he has grasped the most trustworthy handhold that will never break. And God is All-Hearer, All-Knower.
