Freedom of religion:

Say, "The truth is from your Lord": Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it): for the wrong-doers We have prepared a Fire whose (smoke and flames), like the walls and roof of a tent, will hem them in: if they implore relief they will be granted water like melted brass, that will scald their faces, how dreadful the drink! How uncomfortable a couch to recline on! Quran 18:29

If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe! Quran 10:99

No soul can believe, except by the will of Allah, and He will place doubt (or obscurity) on those who will not understand. Quran 10:100

Say : O ye that reject Faith! I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
To you be your Way, and to me mine. Quran 109:1-6

Say: "No reward do I ask of you for it but this: that each one who will may take a (straight) Path to his Lord." Quran 25:57

Verily this is an Admonition: therefore, whoso will, let him take a (straight) path to his Lord! Quran 73:19
