Importance Of Dua Qunoot

Supplication is very important in the lives of Muslims because supplication is like a conversation with God Almighty in which we put our needs before Him and ask Him to help us solve our problems. We ask God Almighty for everything we want in our lives, no matter how big or small.

Supplication is a way to communicate with God, and thanks to supplication, we get closer to our Lord. Therefore, supplication is the source of bringing the supplication closer to God Almighty. Dua is not only a submission to our needs before God Almighty, but it is also a form of worship.

Dua is a weapon with which we can change our situation by asking God Almighty for help. Dua can change fate, so try to make dua in every situation because with dua you will always get closer to God Almighty.

The use of supplication is highly emphasized in the Qur’an and Sunnah and is a means of bringing people closer to God.

Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran:

“When  my  servants  ask  you  concerning  me, (tell them)  I  am  indeed  close  (to them). I  listen  to  the  prayer  of  every  suppliant  when  he  calls  on  me.” (Quran, 2:186).

So with this verse, we can say that Allah Almighty listens to us when we make Dua. We should always seek help from Allah.

The importance of dua can be evaluated from this Hadith:

“Nothing  is  more  honorable  to  Allah  the  Most  High than  Dua.”

1- Raise your hands in humility and submission to Allah wherever you are.
2- Closeness to Allah sincerity, sincerity of intention, contentment, and reverence.
3- Comfort, peace, happiness, joy, and elation.
4- Good of this world and the hereafter (blessing, wellness, assistance, relief and safety).
5- Solution for our problems and improve our conditions and to prevent all evil and bring every benefit.

Types of Dua Qunut!

1. Dua Qunut (Regular) recited in Fajr prayer as well as the Witr prayer in Ramadan.

2. Dua Qunut (Irregular) recited in times of calamity during the obligatory prayers.

The ruling for both of these two types of Dua Qunut is Sunnah.

Dua Qunut is recited on the last rakah of salah before proceeding to the Sujud position. It is recommended to raise hands while reciting the Dua Qunut.

Dua Qunoot In English

اللَّهُمَّ  اهْدِنِي  فِيمَن  هَدَيْت  وَعَافِنِي  فِيمَن  عَافَيْت
وَتَوَلَّنِي  فِيمَن  تَوَلَّيْتَ  وَبَارِك  لِي  فِيما  أَعْطَيْت
وَقِنِي  شَرَّ  مَا  قَضَيْت  إِنَّكَ  تَقْضِي  وَلاَ يُقْضَى عَلَيك
وَإِنَّه لاَ يَذِل مَن وَالَيْت وَلاَ يَعِز مَنْ عَادَيْت تَبَارَكْت رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيت

“Allahumma  ihdini  feeman  hadayt,
waa’fini fiman afait watawallani fiman tawallait
wabarik Li fima atait, waqini sharra maqadait
faInnaka  taqdi  wala  yuqda Alaikwa
innahu layadhillu man walait tabarakta Rabbana wata’alait”

“O Allah guide us among those You have guided, pardon us among  those You have pardoned, befriend  us among those You have befriended, bless us in what You have granted, and  save us from  the  evil that  You  decreed. Indeed  You decree,  and none can  pass decree, and  none can  pass decree upon You, indeed he is not humiliated whom You have befriended, blessed are  You our Lord and Exalted.”

Second version of Dua-E-Qunot:

اَللَّهُم  إنا  نَسْتَعِينُك  وَنَسْتَغْفِرُك  وَنُؤْمِن  بِكَ
وَنَتَوَكَّل  عَلَيْك وَنُثْنِئ  عَلَيْكَ  الخَيْر كله
وَنَشْكُرُك  وَلَا  نَكْفُرُك  وَنَخْلَع  وَنَتْرُك  مَن يفْجُرُك
اَللهُم  إِيَّاك  نَعْبُد  وَلَكَ نُصَلِّئ  وَنَسْجُد  وَإِلَيْكَ  نَسْعى  وَنَحْفِد
نَرْجُو  رَحْمَتَك  وَنَخْشى  عَذَابَك  إِن عَذَابَك  بِالكُفَّار  مُلْحَق

“Allahumma  inna  nasta-eenoka  wanastaghfiruka
wanu’minu bika wa natawakkalu alaikأawanusni alaikal khair,
wanashkuruka wala nakfuruka wa nakhla-oowa natruku mai yafjuruka,
Allahhumma iyyaka na’budu walaka nusalli wanasjud
wailaika nasa’a wanahfizu wa narju rahmataka wanakhshaa azaabaka
inna  azaabaka bilkuffari  mulhik”.

Dua Qunoot Before & After Ruku’

Most scholars say the Qunoot should come after bowing or after the Ruku i.e. after saying (sami Allahu liman hamidah Rabbana lakal hamd). You would then raise your hands for supplication and recite the Qunot. After finishing the imam would say takbeer, “Allahu akbar” and go into sujud. It’s also acceptable the Qunoot Dua to be done before going into the Ruku.
