Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: در حدِ
Hi

Please see:
http://www.sedaghatnews.ir/pages/News-937.html

The sentence:
در حد کتاب خدا به قط و یقین نه ! ولی در حد توانمان رسیده.

This is an interview with Farajollah Salahshur on his film ‘The Prophet Joseph’. Here's more:

سوال: فکر می کنید چقدر به هدف هایتان از ساخت این سریال رسیدید؟

در حد کتاب خدا به قط و یقین نه ! ولی در حد توانمان رسیده. یعنی من توانم اینقدر نبود که در تمام کره زمین تاثیر بگذارم. کشوری در دنیا نیست که یوسف را ندیده باشد و یا در حال دیدن نباشد. این توان در حد ما نیست و مطمئناً دستی وجود دارد که به ما کمک کرد، چون ما میزان توان خودمان را می دانیم. البته ضعف هایی هم وجود دارد، اما در مجموع این را می گویم که آن چیزی که اتفاق افتاد 300 درصد آن چیزی بود که انتظار داشتیم.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

Simon

Explanation:
در حد literally means within the boundary of something. But here we're not talking about any limit or boundaries. The director means he made the film not to the extent of the Holy Quran or not to the extent that the film would cover all the points in the Holy Quran, but he was successful within his capabilities.
