The spiritual digest for Ramadan day 27 is a supplication from Surah Al-A’raf (7:89).
This dua was made by Prophet Shu‘ayb (AS) when he was rejected by his people after calling them to the truth. They mocked his message, threatened him, and tried to force him and his followers back into disbelief. Instead of responding with anger, Shu‘ayb (AS) turned to Allah, seeking divine judgment and justice.
رَبَّنَا ٱفْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ ٱلْفَٰتِحِينَ
Rabbanaa iftaḥ baynanaa wa bayna qawminaa bil-ḥaqqi wa anta khayrul-fātiḥīn
“O our Lord! Decide between us and our people with truth, and You are the Best to decide.” (Surah Al-A’raf 7:89)
By saying “iftah bainanaa” (decide between us), he asked Allah to make the truth clear and establish justice between him and his disbelieving people. He concluded by acknowledging that Allah is the Best of Judges.
