Dynamic translation
(2:256) There is no compulsion in (paying) the Debt. The Awareness has been made clear from The Unawareness. Whoever rejects the Empire, and acknowledges Allah, then he has taken hold of the strongest bond that will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower.
Translation of Edip Yuksel
(2:256) There is no compulsion in the system; the proper way has been made clear from the wrong way. Whoever rejects the transgressors, and acknowledges God, has grasped the firm branch that will never break. God is Hearer, Knower.*
Arabic text
(2:256) لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِاللّهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىَ لاَ انفِصَامَ لَهَا وَاللّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

(7:146) I will divert from My ideas those who are arrogant on earth unjustly, and if they see every idea they do not acknowledge it, and if they see the path of guidance they do not take it as a path; and if they see the path of straying, they take it as a path. That is because they have denied Our ideas and were heedless of them.
(10:99) If your Lord willed, everyone on earth would believe. Would you force people to show trust?
(16:52) To Him is what is in the heavens and the earth, and the system shall always be to Him. Is it other than Allah that you shall be aware of?
(31:22) Whosoever peacefully surrenders his face to Allah, while being a gooddoer, then he has taken hold of the strongest bond. To Allah all matters will return.
(89:26) Nor will anyone be able to free his bonds.
