The spiritual digest for the 10th day of Ramadan is a powerful Du’a from Surah Al-Baqarah (2:286).
رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا
Rabbanaa walaa tahmil ‘alainaa isran kamaa hamaltahuu ‘alal ladheena min qablinaa.
Our Lord! Lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us.
This is part of the final verse of Surah Al-Baqarah (2:286), a powerful supplication made by believers asking Allah for mercy and ease. It reflects:
- A plea for relief from overwhelming hardships.
- A recognition of Allah’s justice and mercy, as burdens placed on past nations were sometimes severe due to their actions.
- A reminder of human weakness and the need for Allah’s support in facing life’s trials.
This verse is among the most frequently recited duas in Islam. The full verse includes multiple supplications, asking Allah for:
- Forgiveness for mistakes, whether intentional or unintentional.
- Ease in religious obligations and worldly challenges.
- Divine mercy and support in overcoming hardships.
Virtue of Surah Al-Baqarah 2:286:
The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) said: ”
Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, they will suffice him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)
It is a dua of surrender and trust in Allah’s wisdom and mercy.
This supplication teaches us humility, reliance on Allah, and gratitude for the ease He grants in worship and daily life.
