Bismillah
Peace ronniv
another example usually used of the abrogation of the rule is:
"To Allah belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, and whether you disclose what is in your ownselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. Then He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah is Able to do all things." (Quran 2:284)
"Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned." (Quran 2:285)
Look at the difference and stages of legislations. At first Allah Stated that whatever we either disclose or conceal Allah Knows it and Shall held us accountable for it whic is of course a serious matter, imagine being accoutable even for whatever takes place deep in your heart.
That was the first stage in which Muslims then were trained to strive hard in order to purify even their inner thouhgts, intentions and the like. However, the Ayah is still there and valid, because we are aware that Allah Is Watching and All Knowing, thus, Allah Knows what is in our heart at any given time. A fact that must never be ignored or overlooked or taken lightly.
Then Allah again Showed them His Mercy and His full Awarness of what could be of hardship to us. He then introduced a less level of responsibility with this language of understanding saying that He Does not shoulder a soul what it can not take.
This is not abrogation in the sense of abrogation. It is a clear explanation of what Allah Is Capable of which is whether or not we reveal what is in our heart Allah Knows it and we will be accountable for it. Yet Allah, Shall not burden a soul more than what it can take. No contradiction what so ever. The problem with understanding abrogation the way it is introduced as annuling a rule which is false.
It then introduces Quran as contradicting itself which is unikely because of what is coming Insh a Allah on the coming posts.
Stay tune ronniv Insh a Allah bit by bit we are going to go thru this issue
