Was no compulsion verse abrogated?

“In Quran Allah said there is no compulsion in religion, and after some time it was abrogated by chapter nine verse number twenty-nine, which said, 'Fight those from among the people of the book who believe neither in God nor in the last day, nor hold as unlawful what God and His messengers have declared to be unlawful, nor follow the true religion until they pay the tax willingly and agree to submit.'”Asked by Muhammad Tauseef

molana, agla sawal bheja hai muhammad tauseef sahib ne, unhon ne location nahi likhi hai. un ka sawal is tarah hai, "In Quran Allah said there is no compulsion in religion, and after some time it was abrogated by chapter nine verse number twenty-nine, which said, 'Fight those from among the people of the book who believe neither in God nor in the last day, nor hold as unlawful what God and His messengers have declared to be unlawful, nor follow the true religion until they pay the tax willingly and agree to sub mit.'" molana sahib, if this verse is correct, then are we to forcibly convert non-Muslims to Islam?

What is your answer to this ؟ hargiz nahi, islam mein forcible conversion hai hi nahi. aur yeh jo aap ne farmaya, woh naskh kaise nahi hai? woh jo aap ne ayat padhi, aap aisa kijiye ke aap tazkir ul quran ko padhiye, mutaliq ayaton ko gehrai ke sath padhiye, ghor ke sath to aap ko is mein aap ko jawab mil jayega.
