  1. Each word opens its meaning.

    On no soul doth God Place a burden greater Than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, And it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not If we forget or fall Into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou Didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! lay not on us A burden greater than we Have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, And grant us forgiveness, Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those Who stand against Faith"

    Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:286

    Call them by (the names Of) their fathers: that is Juster in the sight of God. But if ye know not Their father's (names, call Them) your Brothers in faith, Or your Maulās. But there is no blame On you if ye make A mistake therein: (What counts is) The intention of your hearts: And god is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.

    Surah Al-Ahzab, verse 33:5
