The Holy Quran 23:62 — Surah Al-Mu'minun

Arabic text

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۖ وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَـٰبٌ يَنطِقُ بِٱلْحَقِّ ۚ وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ

Translation

(Doing good acts is not difficult for people because) Allaah does not place on a soul a responsibility (duty) except what is within its capability. We have by Us a Book (record of deeds) that speaks the truth, and they will not be oppressed (they will be punished only for the sins they committed and will not be deprived of the reward for any good act).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

No command of the shariah is beyond human capacity: that is, the deeds and qualities described above are not such difficult tasks that bearing them would be beyond human strength. It is not Our way to burden people with what is beyond their capacity; all these are things which, if you apply yourselves, you can attain well enough.
