Meaning: Heal us from the sicknesses of the heart as well as the physical sicknesses of the body. In other words, we ask You (Allaah) for guidance, for that is only by virtue of Your mercy and wisdom and your past favors as You have guided others. So we therefore also ask Him to bestow the same favor upon us and guide us. This is a way of at-Tawassul (seeking nearness to Allaah) by mentioning His favors on others in that He guided them. So when one says this Dua, he should, with his heart present, call to mind that he is asking for both types of guidance, the guidance of the correct knowledge and the guidance of acting in accordance with it.Īs for the wording, … with those You have guided,” In this way, the following verse includes both of these types of guidance, So when we say in the Dua of Qunoot, “Guide us with those You have guided,” we are asking Allaah for both types of guidance, the guidance of knowledge and the guidance of action. In this case, the Messenger is never able to grant someone the success of their good actions as this type of guidance is specific to Allaah alone. This is the guidance of granting one success in their deeds. Indeed, you do not guide whoever you like. Meaning: You direct the people to the straight path and teach them about it.Īs for the other type of guidance which is the granting of success, an example of this type is the verse, However, they preferred blindness over guidance, and from this we seek refuge with Allah.Īlso from this type of guidance, which is knowledge and clarifying the truth, is the statement of Allaah to the ProphetĪnd indeed, you guide to the straight path. Meaning: We clarified the path to them and We conveyed the knowledge to them. “As for Thamood, We guided them, but they preferred blindness over guidance.” Soorah Fussilat, 41:17 Guidance without action is of no real benefit rather it is even harmful because if a person does not act in accordance with what he knows, his knowledge then becomes evidence against him.Īn example of guidance in the form of knowledge yet with no action is the verse of Allaah, Meaning: Guide me to the truth and assist me in acting in accordance with it.Ĭomplete, beneficial guidance is that in which Allaah combines for a servant in both knowledge and action. O Allaah, guide me with those You have guided…” This explanation was given by Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy on him, during his lectures which he used to present in the central mosque in Mecca (al-Masjid al-Haraam) during the blessed month of Ramadhaan. This is a concise explanation of the dua, or supplication that is said during the Witr prayer. 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. 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.
