In chapter 2 verse 286 we read that Allah (Swt) does not burden the soul of a person more than he or she is able to bear. Later in the ayah, there is a dua saying, oh Lord, do not place on us a burden more than we can bear.

Is this dua redundant? Allah (Swt) has already stated that He will not place a burden more than we can bear, so why make the dua for it?

Please post your comments so that InshaAllah, I will have this heavy feeling off my chest.

Jazak Allah in advance.
