This verse addresses the People of the Book and invites them to Islam and the Qur’an; a Book whose religion is free from any superstitions and perversions and away from any kind of deviation, and it is the only Heavenly Book that seeks the light of insight, awareness, and genuine civilization. For this reason, it is stated in another verse: “Indeed this Quran guides to what is most upright” (Al-Isra (17): 9).
Fundamentals of Islamic Civilization in the Quran Based on a brief look at verses of the Qur’an about different ethnic groups and different periods of human life in the past or verses that independently express the principles and way of life of human beings, we can easily deduce the view of this divine Book from God’s praise and criticism of the past. In the field of the foundations of the establishment of a correct and religious civilization received.

Muslims, relying on the Qur’anic thought, did not force anyone to convert to Islam, but considered it ugly.
In the conquered areas, they gave the infidels and followers of other religions the opportunity to choose Islam with full discretion and sufficient knowledge “There is no compulsion in religion” (Al-Baqarah (2): 256).
