If thou after the knowledge hath reached thee, Wert to follow their (vain) desires,-then wert thou Indeed (clearly) in the wrong.

On no soul doth Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord!

Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith."

当时，易卜拉欣和易司马仪树起天房的基础，他们俩祈祷说：“我们的主啊！求你接受我们的敬意，你确是全聪的，确是全知的。

我们的主啊！求你使我们变成你的两个顺民，并从我们的後裔中造成归顺你的民族，求你昭示我们朝觐的仪式，求你恕宥我们，你确是至宥的，确是至慈的。

我们的主啊！求你在他们中间派遣一个同族的使者，对他们宣读你的启示，教授他们天经和智慧，并且薰陶他们。你确是万能的，确是至睿的。”

即使你以一切迹象昭示曾受天经者，他们必不顺从你的朝向，你也绝不顺从他们的朝向；他们各守自己的朝向，互不相从。在知识降临你之後，如果你顺从他们的私欲，那末，你必定是不义者。

真主只依各人的能力而加以责成。各人要享受自己所行善功的奖赏，要遭遇自己所作罪恶的惩罚。”我们的主啊！求你不要惩罚我们，如果我们遗忘或错误。求你不要使我们荷负重担，犹如你使古人荷负它一样。我们的主啊！求你不要使我们担负我们所不能胜任的。求你恕饶我们，求你赦宥我们，求你怜悯我们。你是我们的保佑者，求你援助我们，以对抗不信道的民众。”

我只对他们说过你所命我说的话，即：你们当崇拜真主--我的主，和你们的主。我同他们相处期间，我是他们的见证。你使我死去之后，盟护他们的是你，你是万物的见证。

如果你要惩罚他们，那末，他们是你的奴仆（由你惩罚）；如果你赦宥他们，那末，你确是万能的，确是至睿的。”

我的主啊！你确已赏赐我一部分政权，并教给我一些圆梦的知识。天地的创造者啊！在今世和后世，你都是我的主宰。求你使我作为顺从者而死去，求你使我入于善人之列。”

不信道者说：“为什么没有一种迹象，从他的主降临他呢？”你只是一个警告者，每个民族都有一个引导者。

当我以一节经文掉换另一节经文的时候--真主知道自己所降示的--他们说：“你只是一个捏造者。”不然！他们大半是不知道的。

你和你的哥哥，带着我的许多迹象去吧！你俩对于记念我绝不可怠慢。
