There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right (2:256)

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

Compulsion is incompatible with religion, therefore let there be no compulsion in religion. Now the path of righteousness has been distinguished from the path of error and holiness distinguished from vindictiveness. Therefore, he who rejects false beliefs and turns his attention to Allah with a religious mind, will have firmly grasped the eternal, unchangeable and most secure handhold which shall never separate, nor shall it suffer a break, and Allah is Sami‘un and Alimun

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(2:256) There is no compulsion and coercion in regard to religion. *285 The right thing has been made distinct from the wrong thing: now whoever rejects taghut *286 and believes in Allah has taken a firm support that never gives way.

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right meaning

*285). Din here signifies the belief about God embodied in the above 'Verse of the Throne' and the entire system of life which rests upon it. The verse means that the system of Islam, embracing belief, morals and practical conduct cannot be imposed by compulsion. These are not things to which people can be yoked forcibly.
*286). Literally taghut means anvone who exceeds his legitimate limits. In the Qur'anic terminology, however, it refers to the creature who exceeds the limits of his creatureliness and arrogates to himself godhead and lordship. There are three stages of man's transgression and rebellion against God. The first stage is that one acknowledges in principle that obedience to God is right, but disregards it in practice. This is fisq (transgression). The second stage is that one not only disobeys but also rejects obedience in principle, and thus either refuses to become the subject of anyone at all or adopts someone other than God as the object of service and devotion. This is kufr (infidelity). The third stage is that one not only rebels against one's Lord but also imposes one's own will (in disregard of the Will of God - Ed.) on God's world and God's creatures. Anyone who reaches such a point is termed taghut and no one can be a true believer in God unless the authority of such a taghut (evil one) is rejected.

دین کے معاملے میں کوئی زور زبردستی نہیں ہے صحیح بات غلط خیالات سے ا لگ چھانٹ کر رکھ دی گئی ہے اب جو کوئی طاغوت کا انکار کر کے اللہ پر ایمان لے آیا، اُس نے ایک ایسا مضبوط سہارا تھام لیا، جو کبھی ٹوٹنے والا نہیں، اور اللہ (جس کا سہارا اس نے لیا ہے) سب کچھ سننے اور جاننے والا ہے
