Meaning of Âmerar Rasul
The Messenger believed in what was revealed to him by his Lord, and the believers [believed]. All have believed in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. They said, “We make no distinction between any of His messengers, and we hear and obey.” Our Lord, forgive us and have mercy upon us! It is to You that we shall return.
Allah does not charge a soul except [according to] what He has given it. Every person has what he earned [for good or bad], and will be requited for it. Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or err. Our Lord, do not impose upon us a burden like that which You imposed on those who came before us. Our Lord, do not load us with more than we have strength to bear. Forgive us, and pardon us, and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so help us against the disbelieving people.
