The spiritual digest for Ramadan day 24 is a supplication from Surah Ibrahim (14:41).
This verse is part of the supplication made by Prophet Ibrahim (AS). Surah Ibrahim is named after him because it contains some of his profound prayers and reflections on faith.
رَبَّنَا ٱغْفِرْ لِى وَلِوَٰلِدَىَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلْحِسَابُ
Rabbanaa ighfir lii waliwaalidayya walilmu’miniina yawma yaquumul hisaab
Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers the Day the account is established. Surah Ibrahim (14:41)
In this verse, Ibrahim (AS) asks Allah for three things:
-
Forgiveness for himself – A sign of humility, even though he was a prophet.
-
Forgiveness for his parents – A reminder of the duty to honor and pray for one’s parents.
-
Forgiveness for all believers – Showing his concern for the entire Ummah, beyond his own family.
The verse ends by mentioning “Yawma yaquumul hisaab” (the Day the account is established) – referring to the Day of Judgment when everyone will stand before Allah for accountability.
