00:00:00.180 --> 00:00:08.609
Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah:

00:00:08.609 --> 00:00:12.609
Divine obligations are well within the capacity and capability of the human soul.

00:00:12.609 --> 00:00:16.469
Similarly, Allah Almighty says:

00:00:16.469 --> 00:00:20.469
“Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” (2:286)

00:00:20.469 --> 00:00:26.469
Does not mean exempting a person from an obligation simply because they claim it is beyond their capacity.

00:00:26.469 --> 00:00:30.469
Rather, it means that man is held accountable only to the extent of his capacity,

00:00:30.469 --> 00:00:34.469
and that all religious obligations are entirely within the soul's ability and power.

00:00:34.469 --> 00:00:39.750
