we are just humans.

"God does not burden any human being with more than he is well able to bear"

I feel that this ayah is one that indicates how strong God has created Man, in terms of his resilience and his ability to overcome adversity. It is not a statement of an end, but a statement of process and development. Through the tests and trials that He wills upon us, our faith and our principles are given the necessary fortifications, and our belief is bolstered. It is important to always view these trials that come upon us with a greater perspective than our own immediate environment, otherwise, we may be in danger of losing our hope. Remaining positive, and remembering that God is Kind and Merciful towards His creation always, helps a great deal in moving us on from our worries.

The gravity of the problems that afflict us are usually in proportion to the amount of faith that we have. And conversely, it is the amount of faith that we have that allows us to see the magnitude of the problems. I feel that this is already a mercy that is granted to us.

At the end of it, we are just what we are: humans.
And not all power is in our hands. We can only do what we can, and hope that He is happy with our efforts.

Wallahu 'alam bissawab.
