Quote:Sura 2, The Quan:
https://quran.ksu.edu.sa/index.php?l=en#...rans=en_sh
( 256 ) There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing.
Taghut = disbelief
The verse can't be clearer: isn't this identical to the secular rule that prevents the enforcing of belief on anybody?
Freedom of belief is guaranteed in Islam under the protection of this verse. The Quran is God's word; so no Muslim has the right to cross it.
If there is no compulsion to adhere to Islam, then tell me what happens to those born of Muslims who stray away from Islam?
