There shall be no compulsion in religion; the right way has become distinct from the wrong way. Whoever renounces evil and believes in God has grasped the most trustworthy handle; which does not break. God is Hearing and Knowing.
What does the Qur'an say about pressuring people to join a religious group?
In short
- The text says: there shall be no compulsion in religion (2:256); had God willed, everyone on earth would have believed, so will the one addressed compel people to become believers (10:99); he is not a dictator over them, so let him remind by the Qur'an whoever fears the warning (50:45); and let him remind, for he is only a reminder, with no control over them (88:21-22).
- The text does not say: anything about pressing people to join a religious group.
- The rest comes from: outside the Qur'an. The practice readers ask about, known by the names Tablighi Jamaat, tabligh, going out, chilla and gasht, or a preaching trip, is named here and not described or judged.
Where the renderings split
2:256, Itani: "There shall be no compulsion in religion"
2:256, Pickthall: "There is no compulsion in religion"
2:256, Palmer: "There is no compulsion in religion"
2:256, Rodwell: "Let there be no compulsion in Religion"
2:256, Sale: "Let there be no violence in religion"
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The text speaks of compulsion in belief, and of the limits of the one who calls. At 2:256 Pickthall has "There is no compulsion in religion", and Sale "Let there be no violence in religion".
At 10:99 the question is put to the Prophet himself: Itani has "Will you compel people to become believers?". At 50:45 Pickthall has "thou (O Muhammad) art in no wise a compeller over them". At 88:22 Itani has "You have no control over them."
No verse names a religious group to join, and none speaks of pressing people into one. These verses speak of belief itself.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this rests on
Opens with 2:256, widening across 4 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.
The versesSource fact 4 passages, each with every cleared translation
4 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

There is no compulsion in religion. The right direction is henceforth distinct from error. And he who rejecteth false deities and believeth in Allah hath grasped a firm handhold which will never break. Allah is Hearer, Knower
There is no compulsion in religion; the right way has been distinguished from the wrong, and whoso disbelieves in Taghut and believes in God, he has got hold of the firm handle in which is no breaking off; but God both hears and knows
Let there be no compulsion in Religion. Now is the right way made distinct from error. Whoever therefore shall deny Thagout and believe in God - he will have taken hold on a strong handle that shall not be broken: and God is He who Heareth, Knoweth
Let there be no violence in religion. Now is right direction manifestly distinguished from deceit: Whoever therefore shall deny Tagut(false gods), and believe in God, he shall surely take hold on a strong handle, which shall not be broken; God is he who heareth and seeth

The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none.

S'ka detyrim në fe[25], meqë tashmë është dalluar e drejta nga e shtrembra. Ai që mohon tagutin (çdo gjë që adhurohet pos Allahut) dhe e beson Allahun, është kapur për lidhjen më të fortë, e cila nuk këputet. Allahu është Gjithëdëgjues, i Gjithëdijshëm.
দীন গ্রহণের ব্যাপারে কোনো জোর-জবরদস্তি নেই। ভ্রান্ত পথ থেকে সত্য-সঠিক পথ সুস্পষ্ট হয়ে গেছে। অতএব, যে তাগূতকে(৭৮) অস্বীকার করবে ও আল্লাহর উপর ঈমান আনবে, সে এমন এক শক্তিশালী রশি ধরলো, যা কখনো ছিঁড়ে যাবে না। আর আল্লাহ সর্বশ্রোতা ও সর্বজ্ঞানী।
Nema prisile u vjeru, Pravi put se jasno razlikuje od zablude! Onaj ko ne vjeruje u tagute, a vjeruje u Allaha, drži se za najčvršću vezu, koja se neće prekinuti. A Allah je Onaj Koji sve čuje i Onaj Koji sve zna.
Nema prisile u vjeru, Pravi put se jasno razlikuje od zablude! Onaj tko ne vjeruje u lažna božanstva, a vjeruje u Allaha, drži se za najčvršću vezu, koja se neće prekinuti. A Allah je Onaj Koji sve čuje i Onaj Koji sve zna.

არ არის იძულება სარწმუნოებაში (ისლამში). უკვე მკაფიოდ გამოეყო ჭეშმარიტი გზა (ისლამი) ცდომილებას (და ურწმუნოებას). ვინც უარყოფს ცრუ ღმერთს (ყველაფერს, რასაც ალლაჰის გარდა ეთაყვანებიან) და ირწმუნებს ალლაჰს, იგი მართლაც ჩაეჭიდა უმტკიცეს კავშირს, რომელსაც არ აქვს გაწყვეტა. და ალლაჰი ყოვლისმსმენი, ყოვლისმცოდნეა.
Es gibt keinen Zwang im Glauben. (Der Weg der) Besonnenheit hat sich nun klar unterschieden von (dem Weg der) Verirrung. Wer also den Taghut (also die falschen Gottheiten) verleugnet und an Allah glaubt, der hält sich an der festesten Handhabe, bei der es kein Zerreißen gibt. Und Allah ist (all)hörend und (all)wissend.
Δεν υπάρχει καταναγκασμός (σε κανέναν για να μπει) στη θρησκεία (το Ισλάμ). Πράγματι, η αλήθεια (και η καθοδήγηση) ξεχώρισε φανερά από την πλάνη (και την απιστία). Όποιος απορρίπτει τα Ατ-Ταγκούτ (ο,τιδήποτε λατρεύεται εκτός του Αλλάχ, όπως τα είδωλα, τους ψεύτικους θεούς, τους κακούς τυράννους κλπ.) και πιστεύει μόνο στον Αλλάχ, έχει πιάσει την ισχυρότερη αιτία (της σωτηρίας κατά την Ημέρα της Ανάστασης), που δεν κόβεται ποτέ• Και ο Αλλάχ είναι Σαμεί‘ (Αυτός που ακούει τα πάντα) και ‘Αλείμ (Παντογνώστης).
धर्म के मामले में कोई ज़ोर-ज़बरदस्ती नहीं। निःसंदेह सन्मार्ग, पथभ्रष्टता से स्पष्ट हो चुका है। अतः जो कोई ताग़ूत (अल्लाह के सिवा अन्य पूज्यों) का इनकार करे और अल्लाह पर ईमान लाए, तो निश्चय उसने मज़बूत कड़े को थाम लिया, जिसे किसी भी तरह टूटना नहीं। तथा अल्लाह सब कुछ सुनने वाला, सब कुछ जानने वाला है।[172]
Non c’è obbligo nella fede! La Retta Via è distinta dalla perdizione: chi rifiuta l’idolatria e crede in Allāh, si è aggrappato alla sponda più salda, che non può cedere, e Allāh è Ascoltatore, Sapiente.
256. Nėra prievartos tikėjime. Iš tiesų, Tiesus kelias tapo aiškiu nuo klaidingo kelio. Kas netiki Taghūt [37] ir tiki Allahą, tai jis nusitvėrė pačios patikimiausios rankos, kuri niekada nepalūš. Ir Allahas yra Visa Girdintis, Visa Žinantis.
Amantii keessa dirqisiisuun hin jiru. Dhugumatti, qajeelumni jallina irraa ifa ta'eera. Namni xaaghuutatti kafaree, Rabbitti amane, dhugumatti haada jabaa citiinsi isiif hintahin qabateera. Rabbiin dhagayaa, beekaadha. [103]
Нет принуждения в религии — уже ясно отличился прямой путь от заблуждения. Кто отверг тагута[21] и уверовал в Аллаха, тот крепко держится за прочнейшую связь, которая не разорвётся. Аллах — слышащий, знающий.
„Нема присиле у веру, Прави пут се јасно разликује од заблуде! Онај ко не верује у лажна божанства а верује у Аллаха, држи се за најчвршћу везу, која неће да се прекине. А Аллах све чује и све зна.
Hakuna kulazimisha katika Dini. Kwani uongofu umekwishapambanuka kutokana na upotovu. Kwa hivyo, anayemkufuru Taaghuut na akamwamini Mwenyezi Mungu, basi bila ya shaka amekamata kishikio madhubuti, kisichovunjika. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye kusikia mno, Mwenye kujua vyema.[1]
Det ska inte finnas något tvång i [att acceptera] tron. Rätt väg har nu klart skilts från villfarelse. Den som förkastar de falska gudarna och tror på Gud har sannerligen gripit det fastaste fästet som aldrig ger vika. Gud hör allt, vet allt.
Dinde zorlama yoktur. Hak yol, bâtıl yoldan ayrılmıştır. Kim tâğûtu inkâr eder, Allah'a iman ederse, kopması mümkün olmayan en sağlam kulpa tutunmuş olur. Allah, hakkıyla işiten ve hakkıyla bilendir.
دین کے بارے میں کوئی زبردستی نہیں، ہدایت ضلالت سے روشن ہوچکی ہے[1] ، اس لئے جو شخص اللہ تعالیٰ کے سوا دوسرے معبودوں کا انکار کرکے اللہ تعالیٰ پر ایمان ﻻئے اس نے مضبوط کڑے کو تھام لیا، جو کبھی نہ ٹوٹے گا اور اللہ تعالیٰ سننے واﻻ، جاننے واﻻ ہے۔

God! There is no god except He, the Living, the Everlasting. Neither slumber overtakes Him, nor sleep. To Him belongs everything in the heavens and everything on earth.

His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Great.
Allah! There is no deity save Him, the Alive, the Eternal. Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth.

His throne includeth the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous

Have you not considered him who argued with Abraham about his Lord, because God had given him sovereignty? Abraham said, "My Lord is He who gives life and causes death." He said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "God brings the sun from the East, so bring it from the West," so the blasphemer was confounded. God does not guide the wrongdoing people.
Bethink thee of him who had an argument with Abraham about his Lord, because Allah had given him the kingdom; how, when Abraham said: My Lord is He Who giveth life and causeth death, he answered: I give life and cause death.

Do you not look at him who disputed with Abraham about his Lord, that God had given him the kingdom? When Abraham said, 'My Lord is He who giveth life and death,' he said, 'I give life and death.' Abraham said, 'But verily, God brings the sun from the east, do thou then bring it from the west?' And he who misbelieved was dumbfounded, for God does not guide unjust folk

Hast thou not considered him who disputed with Abraham concerning his Lord, because God had given him the kingdom? When Abraham said, my Lord is he who giveth life, and killeth: He answered, I give life, and I kill. Abraham said, verily God bringeth the sun from the east, now do thou bring it from the west. Whereupon the infidel was confounded; for God directeth not the ungoldly people

Αν ήθελε ο Κύριός σου, θα είχαν πιστέψει όσοι είναι στη γη, όλοι μαζί! Θα αναγκάσεις λοιπόν (ω, Προφήτη) τους ανθρώπους να γίνουν πιστοί; (Δεν μπορείς να το κάνεις, όσο και αν είσαι πρόθυμος να καθοδηγήσεις τους ανθρώπους, αφού μόνο ο Αλλάχ που καθοδηγεί όποιους θέλει).

If only there was one town that believed and benefited by its belief. Except for the people of Jonah. When they believed, We removed from them the suffering of disgrace in the worldly life, and We gave them comfort for a while.
If only there had been a community (of all those that were destroyed of old) that believed and profited by its belief as did the folk of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from them the torment of disgrace in the life of the world and gave them comfort for a while
Were it not so, a city would have believed and its faith would have profited it. But (none did) except the people of Jonas; when they believed we removed from them the torment of disgrace in this world, and we gave them provision for a while
Were it otherwise, any city, had it believed, might have found its safety in its faith. But it was so, only with the people of JONAS. When they believed, we delivered them from the penalty of shame in this world, and provided for them for a time
And if it were not so, some city, among the many which have been destroyed, would have believed; and the faith of its inhabitants would have been of advantage unto them: But none of them believed, before the execution of their sentence, except the people of Jonas. When they believed, We delivered them from the punishment of shame in this world, and suffered them to enjoy their lives and possessions for a time

Wir wissen sehr wohl, was sie sagen, und du bist nicht als Gewalthaber über sie (eingesetzt). Darum ermahne (nur) mit dem Quran (jeden,) der Meine Androhung fürchtet.
Εμείς ξέρουμε καλύτερα τι λένε, και δε στάλθηκες (ω, Προφήτη) για να τους αναγκάσεις να πιστέψουν. Δώσε λοιπόν νουθεσία και υπενθύμιση με το Κορ’άν σε όποιον φοβάται την προειδοποίησή Μου.

Sisi tunajua kabisa wayasemayo. Wala wewe si mwenye kuwatawalia kwa ujabari. Basi mkumbushe kwa Qur-ani anayeliogopa onyo.
Vi är fullt medvetna om allt de säger, men du är inte satt att tvinga dem. Påminn därför med Koranen de som fruktar min varning.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it2 of the 2 paragraphs signed with this study
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
The question asks what the Qur'an says about pressuring people to join a religious group. The verses carried here are those on compulsion and on the limits of the one who reminds.
No compulsion is read in the study Does "no compulsion in religion" still stand - and is cancellation a question the verse asks?, religious freedom in What does the Qur'an say about religious freedom and 'no compulsion'?, and pushing others to join the prayer in Does praying together bring more reward, and should I push others to join?
