The 286th verse of the second chapter of the Qur’an al-Baqara,’lâ yukallifullâhu nafsan
illâ wus’ahâ’, is generally understood in the sense that ‘Allah does not place a burden
on human beings greater than they do not have strength to bear’. However, it is
implied in the following part of the same verse ‘Rabbanâ wa lâ tuhammilnâ mâ lâ tâkata
lanâ bih’ that Allah may place a burden on human beings greater than they do not have
strength to bear. In this article, the expressions in question that appear to be contradicting
each other are discussed and the true meaning of the senteces are explored in the
light of the relevant ahadith.
