What is the validity of some people’s argument for freedom of religion based on the words of Allah: “To you is your religion, and to me is my religion” and “So whoever wills, let him believe…”

Question:
Peace be upon you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some people have cited the words of Allah the Exalted, and His words, , as evidence for the freedom of religions. Is their argument in order?

Answer:
This means disavowal. It means disavowal, the opposite of what this speaker says. Disavowal from the religion of the polytheists. I am not on your religion, just as you are not on my religion. This is the meaning of disavowal from the polytheists. It does not mean that we are all equal and that we are all on the same level as everyone else, as the ignorant or the misguided say. In its meaning, disavowal This is what was read at the beginning of the surah; the beginning of the surah explains the Qur'an, explaining what comes after it. So its meaning is that I am disavowed from your religion, just as you are disavowed from my religion. And as for His saying, the Exalted, which completes the verse or clarifies it for her, but what grants clarity is what grants confusion. Whoever wills, let him believe, and whoever We have prepared, look The one who understands that the verse is not completed indicates that this is their reward with Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. This is a command of threat. This is called a command of threat. The intended meaning here is threat, not the intended meaning of a command which is a request. He says, "I will take revenge on you." And the third verse, they argue by His saying, the Exalted, . This human being, people, are either disbelievers or believers, or grateful or ungrateful. It expresses the division of people. What is its meaning? Acknowledgment of disbelief? Or if the matter were as this slanderer says, if the matter were like this, there would have been no need to send the messengers or send down the books, nor to make jihad obligatory, nor to make enjoining good and forbidding evil obligatory. This is negating the Shari'ah, negating jihad, negating enjoining good and forbidding evil, and negating loyalty and disavowal. This is negating the law of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. It is disbelief in the verses of Allah. We ask Allah for safety. Yes.
