Al-Baqarah 2:256 لا اكراه في الدين قد تبين الرشد من الغي فمن يكفر بالطاغوت ويومن بالله فقد استمسك بالعروة الوثقى لا انفصام لها والله سميع عليم ٢٥٦

ٱلدِّينِۖ

ٱلرُّشۡدُ
مِنَ
ٱلۡغَيِّۚ
فَمَن
يَكۡفُرۡ
بِٱلطَّٰغُوتِ
وَيُؤۡمِنۢ
بِٱللَّهِ
فَقَدِ
ٱسۡتَمۡسَكَ
بِٱلۡعُرۡوَةِ
ٱلۡوُثۡقَىٰ
لَا
ٱنفِصَامَ
لَهَاۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
سَمِيعٌ
عَلِيمٌ
