2:256

لَٓا اِكْرَاهَ فِی الدّٖینِ قَدْ تَبَیَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَیِّۚ فَمَنْ یَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَیُؤْمِنْ بِاللّٰهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقٰىࣗ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَاؕ وَاللّٰهُ سَمٖیعٌ عَلٖیمٌ

La ikraha fee alddeeni qad tabayyana alrrushdu mina alghayyi faman yakfur bialttaghooti wayumin biAllahi faqadi istamsaka bialAAurwati alwuthqa la infisama laha waAllahu sameeAAun AAaleemun

Translations

There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing

Saheeh International

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
