LESSON # 325 FROM HOLY QUR’AN
The Blessings
BAQARAH – 2 (The Cow)
Verse –286 of 286, Section –40 (Part – 3)
| Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Call us not to account if we forget, or miss the mark, our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as Thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! And pardon us, and absolve us and have mercy on us. Thou, art our Protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving folk. | Laa yukalli- fullaahu naf-san ‘illaa wus- ‘ahaa. Lahaa maa kasabat wa ‘alay-haa mak-tasabat. Rabbanaa laa tu- ‘aa- khiznaaa ‘in-nasiinaaa ‘aw ‘akhta’-naa. Rabbanaa wa laa tahmil ‘alay-naaa ‘isran- kamaa hamaltahuu ‘alal-laziina min-qab-linaa. Rabbanaa wa laa tuhammil-naa maa laa taaqata lanaa bih. Wa’-fu ‘annaa, wag-fir-lanaa, war-ham-naa. ‘Anta Mawlaa-naa fan-sur-naa ‘alal-qaw-mil-Kaafiriin. |
Lesson
It is the last verse of this Surah. Allah Almighty commanded that retaliation (reward) or punishment would be awarded to every person corresponding to his/her actions, behavior and conduct. If any person did goodness, he/she will surely receive its remuneration, and if anybody did badness, evil or sin, certainly he/she will be awarded its punishment. Then Allah Almighty preached following supplications:
- Rabbanaa laa tu- ‘aa- khiznaaa ‘in-nasiinaaa ‘aw ‘akhta’-naa. (Our Lord! Call us not to account if we forget, or miss the mark).
- Rabbanaa wa laa tahmil ‘alay-naaa ‘isran- kamaa hamaltahuu ‘alal-laziina min-qab-linaa.(Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as You placed on those before us).
- Rabbanaa wa laa tuhammil-naa maa laa taaqata lanaa bih. (Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear).
- Wa’-fu ‘annaa, wag-fir-lanaa, war-ham-naa. (And pardon us, and absolve us and have mercy on us).
- ‘Anta Mawlaa-naa fan-sur-naa ‘alal-qaw-mil-Kaafiriin. (You are our Protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving folk).
‘Aamiin. (Our Lord! So kindly be it).
Surah ‘Al-Baqarah, which is the longest Surah of Holy Qur’an, ends after above supplications.
