In the Name of Allah, The All-Merciful and Most Merciful
Allah, the All Merciful and Most Merciful
Does Not Give a Person A Load Too
Heavy for Him to Carry
Everyone has a different level of intelligence, cognitive
ability, education, conceptual ability, and physical strength,
for Allah has given different abilities to people in order to test
them in the most appropriate manner. For this reason, every
person’s endurance, determination and capacity are different.
Allah has created the tests of the life of this world differently
according to each individual. Allah uses different events and
individuals as means to subject every person to different
kinds of tests. But there is something very important here that
we need to consider:
“The adversities that a person encounters in life may ap-
pear difficult at the time, but actually everything that hap-
pens is of an intensity that can be endured.” Allah knows
very well what each person can bear and, in His endless jus-
tice, does not move His test beyond that point. This is a
promise from Allah and a manifestation of the All Merciful
and Most Merciful. The Qur’an says the following:
We do not impose on any self any more than it can bear.
With Us is a Book that speaks the truth. They will not be
wronged. (Surat al-Muminun, 62)
As for those who believe and do right actions – We im-
pose on no self any more than it can bear – they are the
Companions of the Garden, remaining in it timelessly,
