Read this carefully: > "...“Then when the Sacred Months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikoon (see V.2:105) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush. But if they repent [by rejecting Shirk (polytheism) and accept Islamic Monotheism] and perform As-Salaah (Iqaamat-as-Salaah), and give Zakaah, then leave their way free. Verily, Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful” > [al-Tawbah 9:5] > This verse is known as Ayat al-Sayf (the verse of the sword). > **These and similar verses abrogate the verses which say that there is no compulsion to become Muslim.** > And Allaah is the Source of strength. " **(Source: https://islamqa.info/en/answers/34770/there-is-no-compulsion-to-accept-islam)** Here Islamqa used the phrase "**These and similar verses**" which refers to verses like surah 9:5, etc. What does "**abrogate the verses which say that there is no compulsion to become Muslim**" refer to? Obviously, it refers to verses like surah 2:256. So based on this, my question is "**Did verses like surah 9:5 abrogate verses (e.g. surah 9:256) which says there is no compulsion to become a Muslim?**
