2:220

Salaam all,

This is 2:220
فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْيَتَامَى قُلْ إِصْلاَحٌ لَّهُمْ خَيْرٌ وَإِنْ تُخَالِطُوهُمْ فَإِخْوَانُكُمْ وَاللّهُ يَعْلَمُ الْمُفْسِدَ مِنَ الْمُصْلِحِ وَلَوْ شَاء اللّهُ لأعْنَتَكُمْ إِنَّ اللّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
Fee alddunya waalakhirati wayasaloonaka AAani alyatama qul islahun lahum khayrun wain tukhalitoohum faikhwanukum waAllahu yaAAlamu almufsida mina almuslihi walaw shaa Allahu laaAAnatakum inna Allaha AAazeezun hakeemun

The Aya says:
In this life and the next. And they ask you (Muhammad PBUH) about the orphans. Say: doing right to them is best, and if you mix with them, then your brothers. And Allah knows the one that does wrong from the one that does right. And if GOD permitted, HE would have pressured you to the breaking point. Verily, Allah is strong, wise.

My personal note:
The Aya continues the theme from the previous one about questions and answers. It finishes the previous Aya by asking people to start thinking about this life and the next. GOD says that if he willed or permitted then HE would have pressured us very hard to the breaking point. This points that GOD did not will for people to be pressured. GOD is merciful and wise in addition to HIS strength and resistance to pressure.
