Detailed explanation-1: -The people conquered by the Muslims usually faced a choice. They could denounce their religion and convert to Islam, pay a tax to continue practicing their beliefs, become a slave, or be executed. Most chose to convert.
Detailed explanation-2: -Individuals are motivated to convert for many reasons: some relate to personal transformation and identity, others to external social and political factors. Theological explanations are often given, and many converts consider themselves destined or called by God to turn to Islam.
Detailed explanation-3: -For Allah is well-acquainted with all that you do.” The above verses clearly stated that Muslims need to treat non-Muslims justly and honourably. Muslims also need to guarantee freedom of others as can be understood from Surah al-Kafirun. The dislike of their beliefs should not prompt a Muslim to treat them unfairly.
