“The Divine Shield: Surah Al-Baqarah’s Last Two Verses”
Surah Al-Baqarah, the longest chapter in the Quran, concludes with two powerful verses (Ayat 285-286) that hold immense blessings and protection for believers.
Ayat 285:
“(The Prophet) believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers. Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers. (They say,) ‘We make no distinction between one and another of His Messengers.’ And they say, ‘We hear, and we obey. We seek Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return.'” (2:285)
Ayat 286:
“Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. It will have (the benefit of) what it has gained, and it will be responsible for (the evil) it has earned. ‘Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or make a mistake.’ Our Lord, lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, burden us not with what we have no strength to bear. Pardon us, and grant us forgiveness, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so help us against the disbelieving people.” (2:286)
