Consequences of good and bad

Assalamoalaekum

I am sharing one of the greatest ayah in Quran. It inspires me all the time and reminds me to do good and stay way from evil. I seek forgiveness, guidance and help from Allah سبحان و تعالى

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم

 Al-Baqara (البقرة) / 2:286

لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا ٱكْتَسَبَتْ

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned.

لَا (Does) not  -  يُكَلِّفُ burden  -  اللَّهُ Allah  -  نَفْسًا any soul  -  إِلَّا except  -  وُسْعَهَا its capacity,  -  لَهَا for it  -  مَا what  -  كَسَبَتْ it earned,  -  وَعَلَيْهَا and against it  -  مَا what  -  اكْتَسَبَتْ it earned.  -

This ayah has lots of lessons in it but I will just take the part لها ما كسبت و عليها ما اكتسبت
For it what it earned and against it what it earned.
Or every soul will have the consequence of what good it gained and it will bear the consequence of what evil it had earned.
I need to remind myself this all the time. By experience I have learned that whatever evil I have done comes back to me in some form or the other. Allah is Just and He سبحان و تعالى shows the consequences all the times. Now it is my job to learn from those consequences. Whether the evil is big or small, a soul knows it inside. And it gives a soul two options, either ignore or it repent on it. But the problem is that sometimes i don't realize my evils and that's where the burdens feel big. SubhanAllah this ayah begins with a reminder that Allah doesn't charge a soul beyond its capacity. So when the burdens feel big, I need to remind myself to repent on the evils I earned without realizing the consequence.

Oh Allah make us just. Ameen. Oh Allah remove our evils from us and give us the ability to do good. Ameen. Oh Allah pardon us, forgive us and have mercy upon us. Ameen.

Many times I also feel bad when somebody else shows unjustices me. In those times as well I have to remind myself, every soul will bear the consequence of evil it earned. Why do I need to take things in my hands while Allah سبحان و تعالى is there.

Also it is a time when I need to pinpoint myself where I am showing unjustices without realizing because Allah said لها ما كسبت و عليها ما اكتسبت

Most of the time, I do realize whatever I felt bad about, I did the same to someone at some point in my life and Allah is giving me the chance to realize and repent. Alhamdolillah.
