Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the
consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it
has earned. “Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord,
and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and
burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and
have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”
