Surah Al-Baqarah
Verse 256

لَآ (There is) no إِكْرَاهَ compulsion فِى in ٱلدِّينِ ۖ the religion قَد Surely تَّبَيَّنَ has become distinct ٱلرُّشْدُ the right (path) مِنَ from ٱلْغَىِّ ۚ the wrong فَمَن Then whoever يَكْفُرْ disbelieves بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ in false deities وَيُؤْمِنۢ and believes بِٱللَّهِ in Allah فَقَدِ then surely ٱسْتَمْسَكَ he grasped بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ the handhold ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ [the] firm لَا (which) not ٱنفِصَامَ (will) break لَهَا ۗ [for it] وَٱللَّهُ And Allah سَمِيعٌ (is) All-Hearing عَلِيمٌ All-Knowing ٢٥٦

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become distinct from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in ṭāghūt and believes in Allāh has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
