In his famous 1734 English translation of the Quran, the British Orientalist George Sale translated the opening of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:256) as:
"Let there be no violence in religion." [1]
Sale's Explanatory Notes & Commentary
In his extensive accompanying footnotes and his Preliminary Discourse, Sale elaborated on the context of tolerance and religious freedom regarding this verse:
- No Forced Conversions: Sale noted that this verse explicitly establishes that people should not be violently forced to accept Islam. He regularly highlighted in his commentary that the Prophet Muhammad protected the "People of the Book" (Jews and Christians) in exchange for a tribute (jizyah) rather than forcing them to convert. [1, 2, 3]
- Safe Passage and Choice: Commenting on the broader Quranic application of this principle (such as treating captives or enemy emissaries), Sale explained that if individuals chose not to accept the religion, Muslims were obligated to grant them safe conduct back to their place of origin where they were secure. [1]
- Rejection of the "Sword" Myth: Sale famously challenged prevailing 18th-century Western biases regarding the spread of Islam. He noted that claiming Islam spread purely by the sword was an oversimplification and an allegation, pointing out that in many countries, the sword was never used, and the religion spread peacefully. [1, 2]
