لَا
يُكَلِّفُ
اللَّهُ
نَفْسًا
إِلَّا
وُسْعَهَا
لَهَا
مَا
كَسَبَتْ
وَعَلَيْهَا
مَا
اكْتَسَبَتْ
رَبَّنَا
لَا
تُؤَاخِذْنَا
إِن
نَّسِينَا
أَوْ
أَخْطَأْنَا
رَبَّنَا
وَلَا
تَحْمِلْ
عَلَيْنَا
إِصْرًا
كَمَا
حَمَلْتَهُ
عَلَى
الَّذِينَ
مِن
قَبْلِنَا
رَبَّنَا
وَلَا
تُحَمِّلْنَا
مَا
لَا
طَاقَةَ
لَنَا
بِهِ
وَاعْفُ
عَنَّا
وَاغْفِرْ
لَنَا
وَارْحَمْنَا
أَنتَ
مَوْلَانَا
فَانصُرْنَا
عَلَى
الْقَوْمِ
الْكَافِرِينَ

On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith."
— Abdullah Yusufali
Allah does not task any soul beyond its capacity. Whatever [good] it earns is to its own benefit, and whatever [evil] it incurs is to its own harm. ‘Our Lord! Take us not to task if we forget or make mistakes! Our Lord! Do not place upon us a burden as You placed on those who were before us! Our Lord! Do not lay upon us what we have no strength to bear! Excuse us, forgive us, and be merciful to us! You are our Master, so help us against the faithless lot!’
