Is it correct to call the legislative commands and prohibitions taklif?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The questioner : Shaykh, is it correct to call the legislative commands and prohibitions taklif?

The Shaykh : Taklif? Yes, there is no objection to that, for Allah says:

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity

لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها

[Al-Baqarah 2:286]

Thus, Allah has imposed upon every soul what it is able to do. So it is a taklif from Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He). Yes.
