AMessenger has come to you from among yourselves. Your
suffering is distressing to him; he is deeply concerned for you; he
is gentle and merciful to the believers. (Qur'an, 9:128)
And (We gave him) tenderness and purity from Us—he was
conscientious. (Qur'an, 19:13)

THEY DO NOT USE FORCE OR CONSTRAIN
ANYONE TO BECOME A MUSLIM
Call to the way of your Lord with wisdom and fair admonition,
and argue with them in the kindest way. Your Lord knows best
who is misguided from His way. And He knows best who are
guided. (Qur'an, 16:125)
So remind them! You are only a reminder. You are not in control
of them. (Qur'an, 88:21-22)
If your Lord had willed, all the people on the earth would have
believed. Do you think you can force people to be believers?
(Qur'an, 10:99)
We know best what they say. You are not a dictator over them. So
remind, with the Qur'an, whoever fears My Threat. (Qur'an, 50:45)
There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned. Right
guidance has become clearly distinct from error. Anyone who
rejects false gods and believes in Allah has grasped the Firmest
Handhold, which will never give way. Allah is All-Hearing, All-
Knowing. (Qur'an, 2:256)
When they hear worthless talk they turn away from it and say,
'We have our actions and you have your actions. Peace be upon
you. We do not desire the company of the ignorant.' (Qur'an, 28:55)
But if they turn their backs, you are only responsible for clear
transmission. (Qur'an, 16:82)
If any of the idolaters ask you for protection, give them protection
until they have heard the words of Allah. Then convey them to a
place where they are safe. That is because they are a people who
do not know. (Qur'an, 9:6)
