2:256
لَآ إِكْرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشْدُ مِنَ ٱلْغَىِّ ۚ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

Translation
Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things.
A. Yusuf Alipublic-domain
There is no compulsion in religion: true guidance has become distinct from error, so whoever rejects false gods and believes in God has grasped the firmest hand-hold, one that will never break. God is all hearing and all knowing.
M.A.S. Abdel Haleemall-rights-reserved
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.
M. Pickthallpublic-domain
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.

Dinde zorlama yoktur; Artık hak ile batıl iyice ayrılmıştır. Tağutu (saptırıcıları) inkar edip Allah'a inanan kimse, kopmak bilmeyen sağlam bir kulpa sarılmıştır. Allah işitendir, bilendir.

Dinde zorlama yoktur. Çünkü doğruluk, sapıklıktan ayırd edilmiştir. Artık her kim tâğutu inkar edip, Allah'a inanırsa, sağlam bir kulpa yapışmıştır ki, o hiçbir zaman kopmaz. Allah, her şeyi işitir ve bilir.
Elmalılı Hamdi Yazırpublic-domain
Dinde zorlama yoktur. Elbette doğru yanlıştan ayrılmıştır. Kim tağut’u (azgınlık edeni) reddedip Allah’a inanırsa, kopmayan en sağlam kulba yapışmış demektir. Allah duyandır, bilendir.

لكمال هذا الدين واتضاح آياته لا يُحتاج إلى الإكراه عليه لمن تُقبل منهم الجزية، فالدلائل بينة يتضح بها الحق من الباطل، والهدى من الضلال. فَمَن يكفر بكل ما عُبِد من دون الله ويؤمن بالله، فقد ثبت واستقام على الطريقة المثلى، واستمسك من الدين بأقوى سبب لا انقطاع له. والله سميع لأقوال عباده، عليم بأفعالهم ونياتهم، وسيجازيهم على ذلك.
