The Quranic text
لَآ إِكۡرَاهَ فِي ٱلدِّينِۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشۡدُ مِنَ ٱلۡغَيِّۚ فَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِٱلطَّٰغُوتِ وَيُؤۡمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسۡتَمۡسَكَ بِٱلۡعُرۡوَةِ ٱلۡوُثۡقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَاۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ对于宗教，绝无强迫，因为正邪确已分明了。谁不信恶魔而信安拉，谁确已把握住坚实的、绝不断折的把柄。安拉是全聪的，是全知的。
وَلَوۡ شَآءَ رَبُّكَ لَأٓمَنَ مَن فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ كُلُّهُمۡ جَمِيعًاۚ أَفَأَنتَ تُكۡرِهُ ٱلنَّاسَ حَتَّىٰ يَكُونُواْ مُؤۡمِنِينَ如果你的养主意欲，大地上所有的人，必定都归信了。难道你要强迫众人都做信士吗？
وَقُلِ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكُمۡۖ فَمَن شَآءَ فَلۡيُؤۡمِن وَمَن شَآءَ فَلۡيَكۡفُرۡۚ إِنَّآ أَعۡتَدۡنَا لِلظَّٰلِمِينَ نَارًا أَحَاطَ بِهِمۡ سُرَادِقُهَاۚ وَإِن يَسۡتَغِيثُواْ يُغَاثُواْ بِمَآءٖ كَٱلۡمُهۡلِ يَشۡوِي ٱلۡوُجُوهَۚ بِئۡسَ ٱلشَّرَابُ وَسَآءَتۡ مُرۡتَفَقًا你说：“真理是从你们的养主降示的，谁愿归信就让他信吧，谁不愿归信，就让他不信吧。”我已为不义的人，预备了烈火，那烈火的烟幕将笼罩他们。如果他们〔为干渴而〕求救，就以一种水供他们解渴，那种水像沥青那样烧灼人面，那饮料真糟糕！那归宿真恶劣！
The Prophet’s practice
The Prophet ﷺ dealt with followers of other faiths through treaties: in Madinah a charter guaranteed Jews freedom of religion, and when the Christian delegation of Najran came he honoured them and kept their religion under a covenant.
History and reality
Christian and Jewish communities remained in Egypt, the Levant, Iraq and elsewhere for centuries within Islamic civilisation. History has pages of injustice, as in any civilisation; the standard is the text, which forbids compulsion.
And for those who wish to join?
Whoever wishes to join out of conviction says the Shahada; see “How to become a Muslim?” for the steps.

It is a detailed issue with scholarly differences; we will address it on a separate page that sets out the views in context.
