لَآ إِكْرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشْدُ مِنَ ٱلْغَىِّ ۚ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

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

(இஸ்லாமிய) மார்க்கத்தில் (எவ்வகையான) நிர்ப்பந்தமுமில்லை. வழிகேட்டிலிருந்து நேர்வழி முற்றிலும் (பிரிந்து) தெளிவாகிவிட்டது. ஆகையால், எவர் வழி கெடுப்பவற்றை நிராகரித்து அல்லாஹ்வின் மீது நம்பிக்கை கொள்கிறாரோ அவர் அறுந்து விடாத கெட்டியான கயிற்றை நிச்சயமாகப் பற்றிக் கொண்டார் - அல்லாஹ்(யாவற்றையும்) செவியுறுவோனாகவும் நன்கறிவோனாகவும் இருக்கின்றான்.

දහම තුළ කිසිදු බල කිරීමක් නොමැත. අයහමඟින් යහමඟ පැහැදිලි විය. එබැවින් කවරෙක් නපුරු බලවේගයන් ප්‍රතික්ෂේප කොට අල්ලාහ්ව විශ්වාස කරන්නේ ද එවිට ඔහු ශක්තිමත් රැහැනක් අල්ලා ගත්තේ ය. එයට විසන්ධි වීමක් නොමැත. තවද අල්ලාහ් සර්ව ශ්‍රාවක ය; සර්ව ඥානී ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
دین کے بارے میں کوئی زبردستی نہیں، ہدایت ضلالت سے روشن ہوچکی ہے ، اس لئے جو شخص اللہ تعالیٰ کے سوا دوسرے معبودوں کا انکار کرکے اللہ تعالیٰ پر ایمان ﻻئے اس نے مضبوط کڑے کو تھام لیا، جو کبھی نہ ٹوٹے گا اور اللہ تعالیٰ سننے واﻻ، جاننے واﻻ ہے۔

宗教には強制があってはならない。正に正しい道は誤りから明らかに(分別)されている。それで邪神を退けてアッラーを信仰する者は,決して壊れることのない,堅固な取っ手を握った者である。アッラーは全聴にして全知であられる。
ChineseMa Jian
对於宗教,绝无强迫;因为正邪确已分明了。谁不信恶魔而信真主,谁确已把握住坚实的、绝不断折的把柄。真主是全聪的,是全知的。

Tafsir of 2:256

No Compulsion in Religion Allah said, لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ (There is no compulsion in religion), meaning, "Do not force anyone to become Muslim, for Islam is plain and clear, and its proofs and evidence are plain and clear. Therefore, there is no need to force anyone to embrace Islam. Rather, whoever Allah directs to Islam, opens his heart for it and enlightens his mind, will embrace Islam with certainty. Whoever Allah blinds his heart and seals his hearing and sight, then he will not benefit from being forced to embrace Islam." It was reported that the Ansar were the reason behind revealing this Ayah, although its indication is general in meaning. Ibn Jarir recorded that Ibn `Abbas said that before Islam, "When (an Ansar) woman would not bear children who would live, she would vow that if she gives birth to a child who remains alive, she would raise him as a Jew. When Banu An-Nadir (the Jewish tribe) were evacuated from Al-Madinah, some of the children of the Ansar were being raised among them, and the Ansar said, `We will not abandon our children.' Allah revealed, لاَ إِكْرَاهَ فِى الدِّينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ (There is no compulsion in religion.…
