The Ruling on Calling for Freedom of Belief and Citing the Verse "There is No Compulsion in Religion" as Evidence

The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is a set of questions, and I will present whatever of them is feasible to your eminence. This questioner says: We hear in this period people calling for freedom of belief for the sake of coexistence in life, and they cite as evidence for this the saying of Allah the Exalted , and His saying, Exalted is He, . What is the ruling on this call? And what is the ruling on spreading this among the community?

The Shaykh:
We spoke about this at the beginning of the session, and we said that there are those who deny the creed and deny it, saying that it is sufficient to be named a Muslim, and that there is no distinction for the people who are named Muslims. There is no difference between a monotheist and a polytheist, no difference between a Sunni and an innovator, no difference between a Sunni and a Rafidi, and no difference between those who claim affiliation to Islam, whatever their sects may be. This is a false doctrine and false speech.
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This community will split into ." They said, "Who is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Whoever is upon what I and my Companions are upon." This is necessary.
And this is a false call. As for the saying of Allah the Exalted , as you have heard, that guidance is in the hand of Allah , we do not fight people or call them to force them into the religion, because the entry of faith into the heart is something that only Allah, Exalted and Exalted is He, can do. But we are commanded to strive and commanded to call. As for guiding people and putting faith into their hearts, we do not possess that; only Allah, Glorious and Exalted, possesses it. Yes, . Do we satisfy the rest of the question?

The questioner:
؟

The Shaykh:
? Yes, this is like His saying . The Messenger does not possess the ability to put faith into hearts; this is in the hand of Allah, Exalted and Exalted is He. But he is commanded to call, peace and blessings be upon him, and he is commanded to strive.
