No Forcing in Islam

"there is no compulsion in religion."(QS 2:256)

There is no compulsion in religion. Verily, the right path has become distinct from the wrong path. 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. The Quran says:


"Indeed, those upon whom the word of your Lord has come into effect will not believe, even if every sign should come to them, until they see the painful punishment. Then has there not been a city that believed so its faith benefited it except the people of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and gave them enjoyment for a time."

"And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then, would you compel the people in order that they become believers?"

(QS 10:96-99)





















"Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang telah ditetapkan atas mereka hukuman Tuhanmu, mereka tidak akan beriman: Walaupun datang kepada mereka segala jenis keterangan dan tanda-tanda (yang membuktikan kekuasaan Allah dan kebenaran Rasul-rasulNya), sehingga mereka melihat azab yang tidak terperi sakitnya."


"Maka ada baiknya kalau penduduk sesebuah negeri beriman, supaya imannya itu dapat menyelamatkannya. Hanya kaum Nabi Yunus sahaja yang telah berbuat demikian - ketika mereka beriman, Kami elakkan azab sengsara yang membawa kehinaan dalam kehidupan dunia ini dari menimpa mereka, dan Kami berikan mereka menikmati kesenangan sehingga ke suatu masa yang telah Kami tentukan."

"Dan jika Tuhanmu menghendaki nescaya berimanlah sekalian manusia yang ada di bumi. Maka patutkah engkau pula hendak memaksa manusia supaya mereka menjadi orang-orang yang beriman?"


(QS 10:96-99)


Wallahu'alam
