Dua e Qunoot is also referred to as dua qunoot or qunoot dua. It is a special supplication that is mentioned in the hadith. Dua e Qanoot is often recited and known for it’s connection with the Witr Salah. It is frequently repeated with Witr salah. The Dua e Qunoot is one of the important components for completing your salah. Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us in many virtues including humility and loyalty to Allah Swt, when the Dua e Qunoot has been recited.
According to the Dua e Qunoot "Qunoot" is a term that means “obedience” or “standing” In Islam. The Arabic word Dua is for “Supplication”. We recite Dua e Qunoot while standing in the last rakat of Witr prayer before bowing. You have to read it in Witr which is Sunnah. Dua e Qunoot is a Witr Dua and it is a special supplication taught by our Prophet (ﷺ) in his Hadith.. This Dua is the Sunnah or mustahab (recommended) to recite during Witr according to the hadith.
A Rakat at the end of Nawafil after Esha prayer is called Witr Salah. (Bukhari 1137, Muslim 1766) Witr is Sunnah and not obligatory. (Tirmazi 453)
On the authority of Sayyid Na Abu Saeed RA, that Nabi SAWW said: "Read Witr before Dawn" (Muslim 1764). Sayyidna Jabir RA says that the Prophet SAWW said " Whoever fears at night that he will not be able to get up at night should recite Witr in the first Esha. And whoever hopes that if he wakes up at the end of the night then he should recite witr at the end of the night because the night prayer is such that Angels are present in it and it is Afzal" (Muslim 1766)
Narrated by Al-Hasan ibn Ali is the grandson of Prophet Muhammad SAWW. He said he was learned by the Prophet SAWW to say the dua e Qunoot in Arabic as follows:
اللّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيْمَنْ عَافَيْتَ
وَتَوَلَّى فِيمَن تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِك لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ
وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ
وَإِلا نَّهُ يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ وَلا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ
تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ
Allahumma ahdini feeman hadayt, wa aafini fiman afait, wa tawallani fiman tawallait, wa barikli fima atait, wa qini sharra ma qadait, fa Innaka taqdi wa la yuqda Alaik, wa innahu la yazillu man o walait, walla ya izzu man aadait, tabarakta Rabbana wa taalait.
O Allah guide me among those You have guided, grant me security among those You have granted security, befriend me among those You have befriended, bless me in what You have granted, and save me from the evil that You command. Indeed You decree and none can pass a decree, and no one can pass a decree upon You. Indeed he is not crushed whom You have befriended. Blessed are You our Lord and honored.
اللّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَيَمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَأعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لَا أَحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ انْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ
Abu Dawud: 1427, Tirmidhi : 3566, An-Nasa’i: 1748, Ibn Majah: 1179
Allahuma inni aao'odhu biridhuaka min sakhatika wa bimua'a fatika min ooqubatika wa aao'dhu bika minka la ohsi sanaa ann alaika anta kama asnaita ala nafsika.
O Allah! I seek refuge in Your satisfaction from Your anger and Your forgiveness from Your punishment and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot count on your praise. You are as you praise yourself. Abu Dawud: 1427, Trendy: 3566, An-Nasa’i: 1748, Ibn Majah: 1179
According to Ibn Uqayl al-Hanbali (may Allah have mercy on him) What is mustahab in his view is that which was narrated by al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali from the Prophet Muhammad SAWW “Allahumma ihdini feeman hadayt....”. But if one adds to that the words narrated from Abu dawud and Tirmidhi “allahumma inni a'udhu bi ridhaka…”. There is nothing wrong with that. Both are according to the Hadith. Is Dua e Qanoot from the Quran? No. Dua e Qanoot is not from the Quran. It is the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAWW.
