We have already read in the previous verses that forced faith is no faith, and any compulsory belief is void of value:ِ
``And if your Lord had willed, every one on the earth would have believed.''
This is an integral part of Man's Free-Will, that some of them become faithful, and some others faithless:ِ
``Do you want to enforce people to have faith!?''
This limited amount of free will that God has granted to man, is connected with God's universal law that governs the universe. If it was not so, he would have created all mankind alike and with faith. But due to his Free-Will, man has to strive and explore, and bring himself into harmony with God's universal laws that govern the universe. Therefore, faith becomes a moral achievement, and is not a compulsory matter.
Inspite of the above verses, and many others, which are in this scale; it is not only unjust, but a deadly sin too, if any body accuses Islam of being, ``THE RELIGION OF SWORD'', to have been imposed on others by force. When Mohammad (AS) began his sacred mission and Divine Doctrine, THE SWORD was in the hands of Persian kings, and Roman Emperors. Muslims through their faith, piety, and virtue, took the sword out of their hands, and the promise of God to them was fulfilled who had said in Qurän:ِ
``It is He who has sent His Messenger with guidance and the religion of truth, so as to prevail it over all religions; even though the polytheists dislike it.''
We Muslims believe that neither FreeِWill nor Fatalism can be the absolute governor of our affairs, but something in between. This is because Man's Free-Will is limited and all important attainments depend on Man's struggle and endeavour, as well as God's Will and Grace which is not without account and considerations. The world is not in a state of confusion and anarchy that one may do whatever he wants without question and reckoning. There is a law, an order, and recorded account, for every movement, and also an appropriate result and reaction for every action.
