الآية رقم (75) - أَفَتَطْمَعُونَ أَن يُؤْمِنُواْ لَكُمْ وَقَدْ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِّنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلاَمَ اللّهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ مِن بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

(75) - “Do you entertain the hope, [Oh believers], that they would believe in you, while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah and then distort the Torah after they had understood it while they knew it? ˮ

Therefore, all the criminal and terrorist movements that are built upon the forcing of belief on people coercively are false and have no connection whatsoever to the uprightness of the religion. Islam can never be forced upon people, and it is not a right of anyone to force Islam on others, as there is no compulsion in religion.

Thus, the job of an individual is to convey the message of Iman and Islam. Allah U says, addressing His Prophet r:

أَفَأَنْتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ﴿

“Then, [O Muhammad], would you compel the people in order that they become believers?” [Surah Yunus: 99].

Allah U says of the Israelites:

وَقَدْ كَانَ فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلامَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُحَرِّفُونَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا عَقَلُوهُ وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ﴿

“ while a party of them used to hear the words of Allah and then distort the Torah after they had understood it while they knew?ˮ
