لَا

فَمَن
يَكْفُرْ
بِالطَّاغُوتِ
وَيُؤْمِن
بِاللَّهِ
فَقَدِ
اسْتَمْسَكَ
بِالْعُرْوَةِ
الْوُثْقَى
لَا
انفِصَامَ
لَهَا
وَاللَّهُ
سَمِيعٌ

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.
— Abdullah Yusufali
There is no compulsion in religion: rectitude has become distinct from error. So one who disavows fake deities and has faith in Allah has held fast to the firmest handle for which there is no breaking; and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.
