وَلَوْ
شَاءَ
رَبُّكَ
لَآمَنَ
مَن
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
كُلُّهُمْ
جَمِيعًا
أَفَأَنتَ
تُكْرِهُ
النَّاسَ
حَتَّى
يَكُونُوا
مُؤْمِنِينَ

If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe!
— Abdullah Yusufali
Had your Lord wished, all those who are on earth would have believed. Would you then force people until they become faithful?
