No Compulsion In Religion

2:256

لَآ إِكۡرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ‌ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشۡدُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَىِّ‌ۚ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللهِ فَقَدِ ٱسۡتَمۡسَكَ بِٱلۡعُرۡوَةِ ٱلۡوُثۡقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَا‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ٢٥٦

There shall be no compulsion in religion: the right way is now distinct from the wrong way. Anyone who denounces the devil and believes in ALLAH has grasped the strongest bond; one that never breaks. ALLAH is Hearer, Omniscient.

The messengers are sent by Allah and the devil wants the people to disbelieve in them, thus depriving them of the messages of Allah. This in turn will make them disbelieve in Allah.

    in a cynical way through their patent topics and phrases typical of disbelieving websites. The email sent to me had topics and verses which are already printed on their website called, www.submission.org. through which they denounce any person claiming to be a messenger after Rashad. Instead of denouncing the devil, as per verse 2:256, they blaspheme the Absolute Allah by denouncing His messengers, whom He has called His “honorable servants”.

    These “so-called submitters” are highly arrogant and aggressive. I specially flew to Tucson a few years ago to meet their leader, Abdullah Arik, to talk to him about the message, but he did not make himself available to me. While they proclaim and preach the message of “Allah's greatest gift of freedom of speech” through verses 2:256 and 33:73; they themselves are full of hypocrisy by not even giving the person the chance to speak to them. If “freedom of speech” according to the verse is what they believe in, then…

All of this is beyond the scope, capability and control of human beings. Revelations of this nature prove beyond doubt that ALLAH is in control of everything in the Universe, including…

    COMMENT: The verse is addressing the people who have not used their privilege of “freedom of choice” yet. It addresses the disbelievers who do not know the right way from the wrong way, and are being informed through the Quran. The believers are not allowed to coerce or force others into believing in God. This is an individual and independent decision that everyone has to make, and decide if they want to denounce the devil and then seek refuge in God and believe in Him. This is why the Aleefs and Allah letters…

SATAN IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL EVIL AND BAD Page 6
The mere fact that satan was kicked out of and evicted from Heaven, thus losing the privilege of being in touch with the High Society, God and His angels make him even more jealous, venomous, and vengeful. How can satan be faithful to the humans or show them anything good in such a situation, especially when satan cannot return back to Heaven? God has called him His enemy and also his followers. This is why The Most Gracious has said that He is the Lord of the righteous and of the believers only. (those who believe…
