No Compulsion In Religion- Threat Of Punishment
It is my understanding that when it’s says that there is no compulsion – is referring to the free will to choose the path you want to take. One can choose to pick the path that want to follow and see the consequences later on. Inzaar or itmam e hujjat is showing the truth in its utmost clarity that which path is righteous and must be taken. if you are referring to quraish then the law of itmam e hujjat will prevail and they will be shown a mini example of judgment Day in the life. If you are referring to people who do not follow now.. they will meet the consequences in life after death. Hope this answers your question…
Because at this stage hujjat hadn’t reached to its completion at this time. The journey had started and was in progress. See the context and not only one ayat perhaps. Even today, this is true. There is no compulsion in religion. Allah SWT doesn’t ask nor does he need anyone to follow. It is us who once have seen and understood the truth clearly would follow for our own good.
To me rather than being entangled and lost in the weeds and involved in unending discussions, understanding the message at a higher level and within the entire message of Quran allows for better understanding.
