The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, as did the believers. They all have believed in God, and His angels, and His scriptures, and His messengers: "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. Your forgiveness, our Lord. To you is the destiny."
What is the closing prayer of Surah al-Baqarah - 'do not burden us'?
Key findingsEditorial
One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.
- 01 2:285 THE MESSENGER BELIEVETH IN THAT WHICH HATH BEEN REVEALED UNTO HIM FROM HIS LORD, AND SO DO BELIEVERS - each one believeth in Allah and His angels and His scriptures and His messengers - WE MAKE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN ANY OF HIS MESSENGERS - and they say: WE HEAR, AND WE OBEY. Grant us Thy forgiveness, our Lord. This is here because the prayer of 2:286 begins here, in a declaration of what is believed, and the petition grows out of it.
- 02 2:286 ALLAH TASKETH NOT A SOUL BEYOND ITS SCOPE - and then the prayer: CONDEMN US NOT IF WE FORGET, OR MISS THE MARK - LAY NOT ON US SUCH A BURDEN AS THOU DIDST LAY ON THOSE BEFORE US - IMPOSE NOT ON US THAT WHICH WE HAVE NOT THE STRENGTH TO BEAR - PARDON US, ABSOLVE US AND HAVE MERCY ON US. Carried whole because the opening statement and the four requests are one movement: the principle is declared and then asked for.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation
The last two verses of the longest surah, and they work as one thing: a statement of belief, then a statement about God, then a prayer that asks God for what He has just been said to do.
2:285 sets it up. The messenger believes what was revealed to him, and so do the believers - in God, His angels, His scriptures, His messengers - WE MAKE NO DISTINCTION BETWEEN ANY OF HIS MESSENGERS. And they say: WE HEAR AND WE OBEY. Grant us Your forgiveness.
Then 2:286 opens with the principle: GOD DOES NOT TASK A SOUL BEYOND ITS CAPACITY. What follows is the prayer, and every request in it asks for exactly that principle to hold.
Condemn us not if we FORGET or MISS THE MARK - the renderings give it as forget or fall into sin, forget or make mistake. Failure through inattention rather than defiance.
Lay not on us a burden LIKE THAT YOU LAID ON THOSE BEFORE US. A request not to be given the harder version someone else was given.
Impose not on us WHAT WE HAVE NOT THE STRENGTH TO BEAR. The principle again, in the first person.
Then three verbs in a row - pardon us, absolve us, have mercy on us - and the closing: You are our Protector.
What makes the passage remarkable is the relation between its first sentence and the rest. The verse states that God does not overload anyone, and then immediately asks Him not to. It does not treat the assurance as making the prayer unnecessary. Both are said, in that order, in one verse.
The prayer is in the plural throughout, and it asks for nothing material at all.
Scope of this study
This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.
What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.
What this rests on
Opens with 2:285, widening across 2 passages in all.
Easy-read
Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

2 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.
Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Ο Αγγελιαφόρος πίστεψε σε ό,τι τού έχει σταλεί από τον Κύριό του, και (το ίδιο και) οι πιστοί. Όλοι πίστεψαν στον Αλλάχ, στους αγγέλους Του, στα Βιβλία Του και στους Αγγελιαφόρους Του. (Λένε:) «Καμία διάκριση δεν κάνουμε ανάμεσα σε κανέναν από τους Αγγελιαφόρους Του (δηλ. πιστεύουμε σ' όλους τους).» - και λένε: «Ακούσαμε, και υπακούσαμε. (Αναζητούμε) τη συγχώρεσή Σου, Κύριέ μας, και σ’ Εσένα βρίσκεται ο τελικός προορισμός (των πάντων).»

Il Profeta ha creduto in ciò che gli è stato fatto discendere dal suo Dio, e anche i credenti. Tutti hanno creduto in Allāh, nei Suoi Angeli, nei Suoi Libri e nei Suoi Messaggeri: non facciamo differenza tra i Suoi Messaggeri. E dissero: “Abbiamo ascoltato e obbediamo. Concedici il Tuo perdono, Dio nostro: è a Te il ritorno di tutto”.

Посланник уверовал в то, что было ниспослано ему от его Господа, и верующие.

God does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. To its credit is what it earns, and against it is what it commits. "Our Lord, do not condemn us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not burden us as You have burdened those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with more than we have strength to bear; and pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Lord and Master, so help us against the disbelieving people."
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! Condemn us not 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! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk
God will not require of the soul save its capacity. It shall have what it has earned, and it shall owe what has been earned from it. Lord, catch us not up, if we forget or make mistake; Lord, load us not with a burden, as Thou hast loaded those who were before us. Lord, make us not to carry what we have not strength for, but forgive us, and pardon us, and have mercy on us. Thou art our Sovereign, then help us against the people who do not believe
God will not burden any soul beyond its power. It shall enjoy the good which it hath acquired, and shall bear the evil for the acquirement of which it laboured. O our Lord! punish us not if we forget, or fall into sin; O our Lord! and lay not on us a load like that which thou hast laid on those who have been before us; O our Lord! and lay not on us that for which we have not strength: but blot out our sins and forgive us, and have pity on us. Thou art our protector: give us victory therefore over the infidel nations
God will not force any soul beyond its capacity: It shall have the good which it gaineth, and it shall suffer the evil which it gaineth. O Lord punisth us not, if we forget, or act sinfully: O Lord lay not on us a burden like that which thou hast laid on those who have been before us; neither make us, O Lord, to bear what we have not strength to bear, but be favourable unto us, and spare us, and be merciful unto us. Thou art our patron, help us therefore against the unbelieving nations

God does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. To its credit is what it earns, and against it is what it commits. "Our Lord, do not condemn us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not burden us as You have burdened those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with more than we have strength to bear; and pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Lord and Master, so help us against the disbelieving people."

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! Condemn us not 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! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk
God will not require of the soul save its capacity. It shall have what it has earned, and it shall owe what has been earned from it. Lord, catch us not up, if we forget or make mistake; Lord, load us not with a burden, as Thou hast loaded those who were before us. Lord, make us not to carry what we have not strength for, but forgive us, and pardon us, and have mercy on us. Thou art our Sovereign, then help us against the people who do not believe
God will not burden any soul beyond its power. It shall enjoy the good which it hath acquired, and shall bear the evil for the acquirement of which it laboured. O our Lord! punish us not if we forget, or fall into sin; O our Lord! and lay not on us a load like that which thou hast laid on those who have been before us; O our Lord! and lay not on us that for which we have not strength: but blot out our sins and forgive us, and have pity on us. Thou art our protector: give us victory therefore over the infidel nations
God will not force any soul beyond its capacity: It shall have the good which it gaineth, and it shall suffer the evil which it gaineth. O Lord punisth us not, if we forget, or act sinfully: O Lord lay not on us a burden like that which thou hast laid on those who have been before us; neither make us, O Lord, to bear what we have not strength to bear, but be favourable unto us, and spare us, and be merciful unto us. Thou art our patron, help us therefore against the unbelieving nations

- Hafs/Kufan verse numbering, 6236 ayahs. The bismillah is delivered as a separate `bismillah` attribute on ayah 1 and is NOT fused into the ayah text. 112 surahs carry one: every surah except al-Fatiha, where the bismillah is ayah 1:1 itself, and at-Tawba, which has none. Sourced from the XML output; the plain-text output of the same release DOES fuse it, which is defect D1.

Allahu nuk rëndon askënd përtej mundësive që ka. Në dobi të tij është e mira që bën, kurse në dëm të tij është e keqja që vepron. (Thoni:) "Zoti ynë, mos na ndëshko nëse harrojmë ose gabojmë! Zoti ynë, mos na ngarko me barrë të rëndë, siç i ngarkove ata që ishin para nesh! Zoti ynë, mos na ngarko sa nuk kemi fuqi! Na i shlyej gjynahet, na fal dhe na mëshiro! Ti je Mbrojtësi ynë, prandaj na ndihmo kundër njerëzve jobesimtarë."
আল্লাহ কখনোই কাউকে তার সাধ্যাতীত কোনো দায়িত্ব চাপিয়ে দেন না। সে ভালো যা কিছু উপার্জন করে তার প্রতিফল তারই, আর মন্দ যা কামাই করে তার প্রতিফলও তার উপরই বর্তায়। ‘হে আমাদের রব! যদি আমরা কিছু ভুলে যাই অথবা ভুল করি তবে আপনি আমাদেরকে পাকড়াও করবেন না। হে আমাদের রব! আমাদের পূর্ববর্তীগণের উপর যেমন বোঝা চাপিয়ে দিয়েছিলেন আমাদের উপর তেমন বোঝা চাপিয়ে দিবেন না। হে আমাদের রব! আপনি আমাদেরকে এমন কিছু বহন করাবেন না যার সামর্থ্য আমাদের নাই। আমাদের গুনাহসমূহ মোচন করুন, আমাদেরকে ক্ষমা করুন এবং আমাদের প্রতি দয়া করুন। আপনিই তো আমাদের অভিভাবক। অতএব, কাফির সম্প্রদায়ের বিরুদ্ধে আমাদেরকে সাহায্য করুন।
Allah svaku osobu obavezuje samo onoliko kolike su njene mogućnosti; njoj u korist je ono dobro koje zaradi, a na njenu štetu je ono zlo koje sebi privrijedi. Gospodaru naš, nemoj nas kazniti ako zaboravimo ili nehotice pogriješimo! Gospodaru naš, ne tovari na nas breme kao što si ga natovario na one prije nas! Gospodaru naš, ne opterećuj nas onim za što nemamo snage! Preko grijeha naših prijeđi, oprosti nam i smiluj nam se! Ti si Gospodar naš, pa nas pomozi protiv naroda koji ne vjeruje!

ალლაჰი არ აკისრებს არცერთ სულს იმაზე მეტს, რაც მას ძალუძს. მას (სულს) ერგება ის სიკეთე, რაც მოიპოვა, და მის წინააღმდეგ იქნება ის ბოროტება, რაც თავად მოიპოვა. «ო, უფალო ჩვენო! ნუ მოგვთხოვ (ნუ დაგვსჯი), თუ დაგვავიწყდა ან შევცდით. ო, უფალო ჩვენო! ნუ დაგვაკისრებ მძიმე ტვირთს, როგორც დააკისრე მათ, ვინც ჩვენამდე იყვნენ (იუდეველებს, ქრისტიანებს და სხვებს). ო, უფალო ჩვენო! ნუ დაგვაკისრებ იმას, რაც ჩვენს ძალას აღემატება. შეგვინდე, გვაპატიე და მოგვმადლე წყალობა! შენ ხარ ჩვენი მფარველი, მაშ, დაგვეხმარე ურწმუნო ხალხის წინააღმდეგ!»
Allah erlegt keiner Seele mehr auf, als sie zu leisten vermag. Ihr kommt (nur) zu, was sie verdient hat, und angelastet wird ihr (nur), was sie verdient hat. (Und sie sagen:) „Unser Herr, belange uns nicht, wenn wir (etwas) vergessen oder einen Fehler begehen. Unser Herr, lege uns keine Bürde auf, wie Du sie denjenigen auferlegt hast, die vor uns waren. Unser Herr, bürde uns nichts auf, wozu wir keine Kraft haben. Verzeihe uns, vergib uns und erbarme Dich unser! Du bist unser Schutzherr, so verhilf uns zum Sieg über das ungläubige Volk!“
Ο Αλλάχ δεν επιβάλλει σε καμία ψυχή, παρά όσα αντέχει. (Κάθε ψυχή) θα λάβει (αμοιβή για) ό,τι καλό έκανε, και θα φορτωθεί με (τιμωρία για) ό,τι κακό διέπραξε. (Και ο Αγγελιαφόρος και οι πιστοί είπαν:) «Κύριέ μας, μην μας τιμωρείς αν ξεχάσαμε (να κάνουμε κάτι που μας διέταξες) ή σφάλλαμε κατά λάθος. Κύριέ μας, μην εναποθέτεις σε μας βάρος (δύσκολες υποχρεώσεις που δεν θα τις αντέχαμε) όπως το εναπόθεσες (ως τιμωρία) σ’ αυτούς πριν από μας (λογώ της αδικίας τους). Κύριέ μας, μην επιβάλλεις σε μας κάτι πέραν των δυνατοτήτων μας. Και δώσε μας χάρη (μην μας τιμωρείς λόγω των αμαρτιών μας), συγχώρεσέ μας και δείξε έλεος σ’ εμάς. Εσύ είσαι ο Κηδεμόνας μας, δώσε μας λοιπόν νίκη υπέρ των άπιστων ανθρώπων.
अल्लाह किसी प्राणी पर भार नहीं डालता परंतु उसकी क्षमता के अनुसार। उसी के लिए है जो उसने (नेकी) कमाई और उसी पर है जो उसने (पाप) कमाया। ऐ हमारे पालनहार! हमारी पकड़ न कर यदि हम भूल जाएँ या हमसे चूक हो जाए। ऐ हमारे पालनहार! और हमपर कोई भारी बोझ न डाल, जैसे तूने उसे उन लोगों पर डाला जो हमसे पहले थे। ऐ हमारे पालनहार! और हमसे वह चीज़ न उठवा जिस (के उठाने) की हम में शक्ति न हो। तथा हमें माफ़ कर और हमें क्षमा कर दे और हमपर दया कर। तू ही हमारा स्वामी (संरक्षक) है, इसलिए काफ़िरों के मुक़ाबले में हमारी मदद कर।
Allāh non attribuisce a nessuna anima se non ciò che può sostenere: ad essa va ciò che ha meritato, e ciò che ha meritato va contro di essa. Dio nostro, non condannarci se dimentichiamo o sbagliamo! Dio nostro, non imporci un peso come quello che hai imposto ai nostri predecessori! Dio nostro, non appesantirci con ciò che non siamo capaci di portare, e perdonaci e assolvici e graziaci! Tu sei il nostro protettore, sostienici contro il popolo miscredente!
286. Allahas neapsunkina žmogaus daugiau nei jo galimybės. Jis gauna atlygį už tą (gerą), ką jis įgijo, ir jis yra baudžiamas už tą (blogą), ką jis įgijo. „Mūsų Viešpatie, nebausk mūsų, jei mes pamirštame arba suklystame! Mūsų Viešpatie, neapkrauk mūsų tokia našta, kokią Tu užkrovei tiems, kurie buvo iki mūsų (judėjams ir krikščionims)! Mūsų Viešpatie, nesuteik mums naštos sunkesnės, nei mes turime jėgų pakelti! Dovanok mums ir suteik mums Atleidimą! Būk mums gailestingas! Tu esi mūsų Maula (Globėjas, Rėmėjas ir Saugotojas, ir t. t.) ir suteik mums pergalę prieš netikinčius žmones.“

Аллах не возлагает на душу больше того, что она способна вынести. Ей — то, что она приобрела, и против неё — то, что она заслужила. «Господь наш! Не взыщи с нас, если мы забыли или ошиблись. Господь наш! Не возлагай на нас бремя, подобно тому, как Ты возложил его на тех, которые были до нас. Господь наш! Не возлагай на нас того, чего мы не в силах вынести. Будь снисходителен к нам, прости нам и помилуй нас. Ты — наш Покровитель, так помоги же нам против людей, отвергших веру».
Аллах сваку особу обавезује само онолико колике су њене могућности; у њену корист је добро које учини, а на њену штету је зло које уради. Господару наш, немој да нас казниш ако заборавимо или ненамерно погрешимо! Господару наш, не оптерети нас бременом као што си оптеретио оне пре нас! Господару наш, не оптерећуј нас оним за шта немамо снаге! Преко наших греха пређи, опрости нам и смилуј нам се! Ти си наш Господар, па нас помози против народа који не верује!
Mwenyezi Mungu haikalifishi nafsi yoyote isipokuwa kwa kiwango cha iwezavyo. Faida ya iliyoyachuma ni yake, na hasara ya iliyoyachuma ni juu yake pia. (Semeni) Mola wetu Mlezi! Usituchukulie ubaya tukisahau au tukikosea. Mola wetu Mlezi! Usitubebeshe mzigo kama uliyowabebesha wale waliokuwa kabla yetu. Mola wetu Mlezi! Usitutwike tusiyoyaweza, na uyatupilie mbali mabaya yetu, na utusamehe na uturehemu. Wewe ndiye Mlinzi wetu. Basi tupe ushindi dhidi ya kaumu ya makafiri.
Gud ålägger ingen människa mer än vad hon förmår. Hon ska belönas för det goda hon gjort och hållas till svars för det dåliga. ”Herre! Ställ oss inte till svars om vi glömmer eller begår misstag. Herre! Lägg inte på oss en sådan börda som du lade på våra föregångare. Herre! Ålägg oss inte sådant som ligger bortom vår förmåga. Ha överseende med oss, förlåt oss och förbarma dig över oss. Du är vår Beskyddare så ge oss seger över det otrogna folket!”
Allah, hiç kimseye gücünün üstünde bir şey (sorumluluk) yüklemez. (Herkesin) kazandığı (iyilik) lehine ve işlediği (kötülük) ise aleyhinedir! Rabbimiz, eğer unuttuk veya hata yaptıysak bizi hesaba çekme. Rabbimiz! Bizden öncekilere yüklediğin gibi bize de ağır bir görev yükleme. Rabbimiz! Gücümüzün yetmeyeceğini bize taşıtma. Bizi affet, bizi bağışla ve bize merhamet et. Sen bizim mevlâmızsın. Kâfir topluma karşı bize yardım et.
اللہ تعالیٰ کسی جان کو اس کی طاقت سے زیاده تکلیف نہیں دیتا، جو نیکی وه کرے وه اس کے لئے اور جو برائی وه کرے وه اس پر ہے، اے ہمارے رب! اگر ہم بھول گئے ہوں یا خطا کی ہو تو ہمیں نہ پکڑنا، اے ہمارے رب! ہم پر وه بوجھ نہ ڈال جو ہم سے پہلے لوگوں پر ڈاﻻ تھا، اے ہمارے رب! ہم پر وه بوجھ نہ ڈال جس کی ہمیں طاقت نہ ہو اور ہم سے درگزر فرما! اور ہمیں بخش دے اور ہم پر رحم کر! تو ہی ہمارا مالک ہے، ہمیں کافروں کی قوم پر غلبہ عطا فرما۔

2:286 — the verse above
What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it3 of the 4 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page
The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.
Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 2:285, 2:286, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.
How this set was arrived at. The verse set was chosen by the Editor before the study was written, and is NOT a search result. No word search was run, because on this question a word search would have found the wrong verses or missed the point of the passage. Every verse in that set was read in full before use and checked against the claim made for it; a verse whose text did not carry that claim was left out rather than forced.
Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
