Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. For it is what it earned. And against it is what it earned. God of us all, please do not take us to task When we err forgetfully or err intentionally. God of us all, and please do not load upon us a burden Like You had loaded it upon those before us. God of us all and do not load upon us for which we have no strength. And pardon us. And forgive us. And have mercy on us. You are our protecting Master. So, help us against ungrateful persons.
