Dr. Shabir Ally and Dr. Safiyyah Ally explore Quran 2:186: "God does not burden a soul beyond its means. For it is what it earns, and against it is what it earns. Our Lord, do not mind us if we forget or make mistakes. Our Lord, do not place a burden upon us as you have placed upon those before us. Our Lord, do not place upon us what we cannot bear. Pardon us and forgive us and have mercy on us. You are our patron, grant us victory over the disbelieving people."

This verse is comforting to people in situations of difficulty, because it assures them that God is in control and understands their limits. Dr. Shabir Ally says this verse also reminds us that God is merciful and kind, and He must have meant for His regulations for us to be carried out in a way that one might reasonably expect of human beings to do. Therefore we should interpret God's commands so that they're not burdensome for people.
