Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people ” (286)

The Meaning and Theme of BAqarah Last 2 Ayat

Here are the meaning and theme of the last verses of Surah Baqarah

The First Ayat

The noble verse asserts that messenger of allah, may god’s prayers and peace be upon him – and the believers have faith in allah and his books, messengers, and angels, without discrimination or bias toward one prophet over others, for all of them are sent by Allah and are truthful and righteous.

Also, the believers declare their absolute obedience to god – glory be to him -and their adherence to his commands and prohibitions, and this obedience can be reflected in their hearts by faith and in their actions by their carefulness to stick to his teachings and avoid the wrong deeds.

And after they declared their faith, they asked god – glory be to him – to forgive them for their sins and to have mercy on them with his kindness, for they are fully aware of the day of resurrection, and they are preparing themselves for it.

The Second Ayat

It was said that when allah revealed this verse:

To Allah, ˹alone˺ belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Whether you reveal what is in your heart or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. He forgives whoever He wills, and punishes whoever He wills. And Allah is Most Capable of everything. (surah Baqarah, 284)

The Muslims were frightened and afraid, and told the prophet, Mohammed, that they can repent for what they did physically, However, they cannot repent for their bad feelings or doubts (that lie in their hearts), so Allah revealed this verse to mitigate their fear and assure them that he won’t charge any soul over its capacity.

Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “God forgives my people the evil promptings which arise within them so long as they do not act upon them or speak about them.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

Ibn Abbas said in the interpretation of this verse: It is a call from Muslims to God – Glory be to Him – that God – the Highest – won’t burden Muslims with what they are not able to do, and he won’t punish them, as he did with the previous nations such as Bani Israel who when he charged them with unbearable deeds as a punishment to their transgressions.

Then the believers ask Allah to pardon them and help them triumph over the infidels.
