Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
Those who behave arrogantly on the earth in defiance of right - them will I turn away from My signs: Even if they see all the signs, they will not believe in them; and if they see the way of right conduct, they will not adopt it as the way; but if they see the way of error, that is the way they will adopt. For they have rejected our signs, and failed to take warning from them.
But their brethren (the evil ones) plunge them deeper into error, and never relax (their efforts).
对於宗教,绝无强迫;因为正邪确已分明了。谁不信恶魔而信真主,谁确已把握住坚实的、绝不断折的把柄。真主是全聪的,是全知的。
我将使那些在地方上妄自尊大的人离弃我的迹象,即使他们看见一切迹象,他们也不信它;如果他们看见正道,他们不把它当作道路;如果他们看见邪道,他们把它当作道路。这是因为他们不信我的迹象,而且忽视它。
恶魔要任随他的兄弟迷误,然后他们不肯罢休。
