The Holy Quran 9:6 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ ٱسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَـٰمَ ٱللَّهِ ثُمَّ أَبْلِغْهُ مَأْمَنَهُۥ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لَّا يَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

(After the period of grace given to the Mushrikeen,) If any of the Mushrikeen seek protection from you (pleads to be left in safety to decide whether he wants to accept Islaam), then grant him protection until he hears the word (speech) of Allaah (the Qur'aan and proofs of Towheed), then deliver him to his place of safety (to make up his mind and continue living because there is no compulsion in Deen). This is because they are a people who do not understand (Islaam and therefore need explanations).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The command to grant protection to disbelievers: it was said earlier that if they repent of their disbelief and enter Islam, they are safe. It was possible that some person might not be acquainted with the principles of Islam and might wish to come to the Muslims in order to investigate and remove his doubts.
