What is rather proven is that he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said Du’aa ‘al-Qunoot during calamities with words appropriate to the situation. With regard to the fact that Du’aa ‘al-Qunoot is constantly in the Fajr’s prayer, in all circumstances, there is no Sahraw report that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) chose Fajr for Qunoot, or that he always recited in the Fajr prayer. (See Tashee al-Du’aa ‘by Sheikh Bakr Abu Zayd, 460). If a calamity (naazilah) strikes the Muslims, it is prescribed to say Du’aa ‘al-Qunoot after rising from rukoo’ during the last rak’ah of each of the five daily obligatory prayers, until Allah relieves the Muslims of this fact. Qunoot, according to the definition of fuqaha ‘, “is the name of a dua’ (supplication) offered during prayer at a specific moment while standing.” It is prescribed in Witr’s prayer after the rukoo ‘(prostrate), according to the most correct of the two learned opinions. Undoubtedly, Your torment is going to overtake infidels O Allah!Īt-Tirmidhi: 464, Abu Dawud: 1425 Dua E Qunoot in English O, Allah! You alone do we worship and for You do we pray and prostrate and we betake to please You and present ourselves for the service in Your cause and we hope for Your mercy and fear Your chastisement. O, Allah! We implore You for help and beg forgiveness of You and believe in You and rely on You and extol You and we are thankful to You and are not ungrateful to You and we alienate and forsake those who disobey You. However, it is more understood to be a special dua which is recited during the prayer.

The word Dua is Arabic for supplication, so the longer phrase Dua Qunut is sometimes used.Īl-Qunoot has many linguistic meanings, such as humility, obedience, and devotion. “ Duaa Q unoot” (in Arabic: القنوت‎ also transliterated Qunoot) literally means “being obedient” or “the act of standing” in Classical Arabic.
