Is Forced Conversion To Islam Allowed In Islam?

Humans have a choice and they have been given freedom to explore and research the forces of nature and get benefits from them. They are not like animals, which are forced to follow the nature that God has created for them. The reason of blessing humans with having the power to observe and think is to have them decide about the right and wrong. Quran Recitation Online helps us in understanding view of Islam about forced Conversion.If a man accepts laws of God, then it is beneficial for his own growth and if he is against them then he will have to bear the consequences. A person who is delivering the message of God is not a custodian. As from the recitation of Holy Quran we can find that:

“We have revealed the book of Quran to you and also the truth for all mankind, whoever follows it the right way, it is thus for his soul, as he only errs to its detriment, and you are not a custodian over them.”

The above mentioned verses clarifies the messenger of God cannot force people to accept the laws of Allah. People have a free will to accept the message.

There is no point of being forcing someone at all, as the Quran identifies “Iman”, which is a belief as something is not just processed by the lips, on the other hand there is something, which has entered one’s heart, and it is only possible if a person analyses the message through his willingness. It is our duty to propagate the message of Quran in the best of our ability and there should be no force in propagating that message.
