سورة البقرة: أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ. لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ. [البقرة 285 - 286]

Meaning

The final two verses of Surat al-Baqarah (285–286): The Messenger believes in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers — each one believes in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers, making no distinction between any of them. They say: We hear and we obey; grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return. Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity; it earns the good it does and bears the evil it does. Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or err; do not lay upon us a burden like that laid on those before us; do not burden us with more than we can bear; pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people.
