Allah does not require of any soul more than what it can afford. All good will be for its own benefit, and all evil will be to its own loss. ˹The believers pray,˺ “Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Do not place a burden on us like the one you placed on those before us. Our Lord! Do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our ˹only˺ Guardian. So grant us victory over the disbelieving people.
اللہ کسی جان سے اس کی استطاعت سے زیادہ نہیں چاہتا۔ تمام بھلائی اس کے اپنے فائدے کے لیے ہو گی اور تمام برائیاں اپنے ہی نقصان میں ہوں گی۔ مومنین دعا کرتے ہیں کہ اے ہمارے رب ہمیں عذاب نہ دے اگر ہم بھول جائیں یا غلطی کر جائیں، اے ہمارے رب! ہم پر ایسا بوجھ نہ ڈال جیسا تو نے ہم سے پہلے والوں پر ڈالا تھا، اے ہمارے رب! ہم پر وہ بوجھ نہ ڈال جو ہم برداشت نہیں کر سکتے، ہمیں معاف کر، ہمیں معاف کر اور ہم پر رحم فرما، تو ہی ہماری قوم پر غلبہ کرنے والا ہے۔
Divine Reassurance → Allah knows our strength better than we do. Every trial is tailored to what we can handle.
Balance of Justice & Mercy → Unlike people, Allah never places an unfair or unbearable load.
Hidden Strength → Struggles reveal inner resilience we may not even realize we possess.
The Qur’an as Comfort in Trials
This verse teaches us:
Hardship is not punishment but a chance to grow.
Every difficulty comes with built-in capacity to endure it.
Relief is always near — trials are temporary, but Allah’s support is constant.
Psychological Connection
Modern psychology confirms:
Stress perception is what breaks us, not stress itself. When we believe we can handle a challenge, our mind and body adapt better.
This verse reshapes mindset → turning despair into strength.
Instead of asking “Why me?” we start to think “How can I grow through this?”
Real-Life Reflection
Facing financial struggles? Trust that Allah won’t leave you without means to cope and grow.
Battling health challenges? Remember He designed your patience and resilience for this very moment.
Enduring emotional pain? Know that your tears are seen, your limits are known, and your healing is near.
Every difficulty is custom-fit to your strength. If it’s on your path, it means you already have the ability — or will discover it — with Allah’s help.
This verse isn’t just reassurance, it’s empowerment: You are stronger than you think, because Allah chose you for this test.
Your struggle isn’t bigger than you. Allah already designed your soul to carry it.
