Tafsir
And We do not task any soul beyond its capacity what it can bear — thus he who is not able to pray standing let him pray sitting down and he who is not able to fast let him eat; and with Us is a Record that speaks the truth regarding what it a soul has done — and this Record is the Preserved Tablet al-lawh al-mahfūz wherein deeds are written down; and they namely the souls in their acts will not be wronged in a single thing thereof and so nothing is diminished of the reward for good deeds nor is anything extra added to the evil deeds.
