Dear Brother

Can you please clarify the context of Surah Taubah 9:5? The Muslims are commanded to slay the polytheists until they believe but I thought there was no compulsion in religion - I mean how can you force someone to believe?

For a brief explanation of the two verses, please have a look at one of my earlier responses to a question regarding “Punishment of Apostasy”.

In case there is any aspect of your question that remains unanswered, please feel free to get back to me at your convenience.

Best regards
