Both of these were narrated in the Sunnah.

So you have the choice of doing ruku’ when you have finished reciting Quran, then standing up and saying “ Rabbana wa laka al-hamd” then saying Qunut… or saying Qunut when you have finished reciting Quran, then saying “ Allahu akbar” and bowing. Most of the ahadith and the opinion of most of the scholars state that Qunut comes after ruku’, but if you say Qunut before ruku’ that is acceptable. If a calamity (nazilah) befalls the Muslims, it is prescribed to say Dua Qunoot after standing up from ruku’ in the last rak’ah of each of the five daily obligatory prayers, until Allah relieves the Muslims of that calamity. We hope for Your mercy and fear Your punishment, for Your punishment will certainly reach the disbelievers.Īccording to more correct of two scholarly opinions, the Dua is prescribed in the Witr prayer after the ruku’ (bowing). O Allah, You alone we worship and to You we pray and prostrate, for Your sake we strive. O Allah, verily we seek Your help, we believe in You, we put our trust in You and we praise You and we are not ungrateful to You. Narju rahmataka wa nakhsha ‘adhabaka, inna ‘adhabaka al-jadd bil kuffari mulhaq. Allahumma iyyaaka na’budu wa laka nusalli wa nasjudu, wa ilayka nas’a wa nahfid.


It was narrated that ‘Umar prayed Qunut with the following words: When praying Qunut at the time of calamity, one should make supplication as is appropriate to the situation, as it was narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) cursed some Arab tribes who had betrayed his Companions and killed them, and he prayed for the weak and oppressed believers in Makkah, that Allah would save them. Qunut at times of calamity (Qunut al-Nazilah) Blessed are You, our Lord, and You are exalted far above (any deficiencies). Whomever You show loyalty towards will never be humiliated, and whoever You show enmity towards will never be honored. Indeed, You decree while no one decrees against You.

The translation of Dua for qunoot is O Allaah, guide me with those You have guided, heal me with those You have healed, care for me as a companion with those You have cared for, bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed. The transliteration of dua for qunoot is Allahumma ihdini feeman hadayt, wa a’fini fiman afait, wa tawallani fiman tawallait, wa barik Li fima atait, wa qini sharra ma qadait, fa Innaka taqdi wa la yuqda Alaik, wa innahu la yadhillu man walait, tabarakta Rabbana wa ta’alait.
