لَٓا اِكْرَاهَ فِي الدّ۪ينِ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّۚ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقٰىۗ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَاۜ وَاللّٰهُ سَم۪يعٌ عَل۪يمٌ ٢٥٦

English Translation
256There is no form of compulsion/coercion in religion. The right path has been made clearly distinct from the false path. Whoever rejects taghut—the forces of evil—and believes and trusts in Allah has surely grasped a firm handhold that can never break. Allah truly hears and truly knows.
