92 Islam Denounces Terrorism

War Cannot Be Waged to Enforce Conversion
to Islam

Those who employ war, force or coercion to impose Islam on
someone are betraying the Qur'an. One of the most explicit statements
in the Qur'an is that "there is no compulsion in the religion":

There is no compulsion where the religion is concerned.... (Qur'an,
2:256)

This is an explicit commandment of the Qur'an. No Muslim can
disobey that command and force anyone else to be devout. That is
expressly forbidden in the Qur'an.

Our Prophet (pbuh) is only an adviser. He has a responsibility to
preach and introduce communities to Islam, the last revealed religion.
