Surah Al Mu'minun Tafseer

The Justice of Allah and the Frivolity of the Idolators

Allah tells;

وَلَا نُكَلِّفُ نَفْسًا إِلاَّ وُسْعَهَا

And We task not any person except according to his capacity,

Allah tells us of His justice towards His servants in this world, in that He does not task any person except according to his capacity, i.e., He does not burden any soul with more than it can bear. On the Day of Resurrection He will call them to account for their deeds, which He has recorded in a written Book from which nothing is omitted.

وَلَدَيْنَا كِتَابٌ يَنطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ

and with Us is a Record which speaks the truth,

meaning, the Book of deeds

وَهُمْ لَا يُظْلَمُونَ
