Reciting dua in prayers is highly recommended including the dua that we will discuss this time, namely the qunoot prayer.
What Are Dua Qunoot
Qunoot is a prayer that is intended to be recited in a certain prayer and in a certain way that is performed at the last rakaat in that prayer. And for you followers of the madzhab of Imam asy-Shafi’i, then perhaps we are familiar with qunoot and with the recitation of his prayers, which in this madzhab, qunoot is performed in the dawn prayer at the second rakaat. But how exactly is the law of performing qunut and whether this prayer we have mentioned be read in qunut?
Qunoot prayers are usually recited in the subuh prayer (fajr pryer), linguistically the word Qunoot comes from the Arabic قنوت which means standing. Meanwhile, in fiqh, qunoot prayer is a prayer request that is read on one of the pillars of prayer, namely i’tidal .
There are two types of Qunoot, namely:
1. Qunut Rotibah
that is, those that are recited at subuh prayers or are also commonly read at witir prayers in the month of Ramadan
2. Qunoot Nazilah

Hadith Qunoot
- Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when he said, “Allah listened to those who praise Him,” in the last cycle of evening prayer, he stood to supplicate, “O Allah, save ‘Ayyash ibn Abi Rabiah. O Allah, save Al-Walid ibn al-Walid. O Allah, save Salamah ibn Hisham. O Allah, save the oppressed among the believers. O Allah, be hard on the tribe of Mudar. O Allah, place drought in their years like the years of Joseph.”(Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6393, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 675)
- Hasan ibn Ali reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, taught me some words to say in the Witr prayer, “O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, secure me among those You have secured, protect me among those You have protected, bless me in what You have given me, and save me from the evil You have decreed. Verily, You alone decree and none can issue decree over You. Verily, he cannot be humiliated whoever is protected by You. Blessed are You, our Lord, the Almighty.”(Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 464)
- Ubaid ibn Umair reported: Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, supplicated after bowing in prayer and he said, “O Allah, forgive the believing men and believing women and the Muslim men and Muslim women, bring their hearts together and reconcile between them, support them against Your enemies and their enemies. O Allah, the curse is upon those who disbelieved among the people of the Scripture, who obstruct people from Your path and have denied Your Messenger and have fought Your allies. O Allah, oppose their words and shake their footing and send upon them Your strength which the criminals cannot repel. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful, we seek Your help and we seek Your forgiveness. We praise You, we do not deny You, and we disavow and abandon whoever is wicked to You. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful, You alone we worship, we pray to You, we prostrate for You, we strive for You, we fear Your punishment and we hope in Your mercy. Verily, Your punishment of the unbelievers will be carried out.”(Source: al-Sunan al-Kubrá lil-Bayhaqī 3143)
