The 256th verse (ayah) of Al-Baqara, in the Quran, includes the phrase that "there is no compulsion in religion". The Quran says that, since the revelation has clearly distinguished righteousness from unrighteousness, the people must choose which to follow. This verse immediately follows The Verse of the Throne. The overwhelming majority of Muslim scholars consider the verse to be a Medinan surah, when Muslims lived in their period of political ascendance, and to be non-abrogated. The Quranic proclamation that 'There is no compulsion in religion.' is considered to be an absolute and universal by Muslim scholars. So, under no condition, should an individual be forced to accept a religion or belief against their will. The principle of non-compulsion in religion was not limited to freedom of religion, Islam also provided non-Muslims with considerable economic, cultural, and administrative rights.
