Qunoot - E - Naazilah


At these trying times it is highly recommended to read the
Qunoot-e-Naazilah. Whenever the Muslim Community is afflicted with some
hardship then Qunoot-E-Naazilah should be recited in the Fajr Salaat.

Method: After the Ruku' of the second rakaat, while standing in the
position
known as Qaumah, the Qunoot should be read in a voice lower in tone
than
that when reciting the Qiraat. The Muqtadees should place their hands
at the
side and say Ameen at the proper juncture.

Note: Women may also recite this dua softly.

One may recite it as often as possible as a dua, in salaah and out of
salaah.


Hadith 1
Hadhrat Nu'maan ibn Basheer (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that
Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'You will see the believers in
their
mutual mercy for one another, mutual love for one another, and mutual
companion for one another like a body. When one limb (of the body)
complains, that effects the entire body by being awake and having
fever.'
(Mishkaat pg.422; Qadeemi)

Hadith 2
Hadhrat Abu Musa (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'A believer to a believer is like a building
that
strengthens one another (with each brick).' (Ibid)

Hadith 3
Hadhrat Ibn Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wasallam) said, 'A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so do
not
oppress him and do not hand him over (to the mercy of the enemies when
he is
in trouble).' (Ibid)

Hadith 4
Hadhrat Aamir ibn Maalik, the leader of the tribe of Bani Sulaym
requested
the help of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) against the
enemies of
his tribe. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) accepted his
request and
sent seventy Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum) who were Qurraa (experts in
the
recitation of the noble Qur'aan). The tribe of Banu Sulaym surrounded
these
Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum) by a place called Bir Ma'oona and murdered
them.

Jibraaeel (Alayhis salaam) informed Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam)
of the incident and conveyed to him the heartfelt message of the
Qurraa:
'Inform our people that we met our Rabb. He was pleased with us and (in
turn) pleased us.'

This incident caused great grief to Rasulullah. Abdullah ibn Mas'ood
(Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi
Wasallam)
recited Qunoot Naazila for one month continuously cursing the tribe of
Bani
Sulaym. (Bukhari vol.2 pg.586; )

In view of the above, the Fuqahaa have ruled that when the Ummat is in
a
crisis, they should follow the Sunnah practise of Qunoot-e-Naazila and
make
Du'aa for the Ummah.Once again we are at crossroads and we should
resort to
the Sunnat practise of Qunoot-e-Naazila.

METHOD OF QUNOOT-E-NAAZILA

*      

     · In Fajr Salaat, after the Ruku of the second Rakaat, the Imaam
will make audible Du'aa. The Muqtadee (followers) will listen to the
Du'aa
and say, 'Aameen' softly during the pauses of the Imaam's Du'aa.
(Fataawa
Mahmoodiyyah vol.2 pg.138)
*      

     · The Muqtadis will not recite the Du'aa with the Imaam.
(I'elaa-us-Sunan vol.6 pg.120; Idaratul Qur'aan)
*      

     · The Imaam and the Muqtadis should not raise their hands during the
Du'aa. The hands should be left by their sides. (Shaami vol.2 pg.9; HM
Saeed)
*      

     · Upon completion of the Du'aa, they will go into Sajdah and
complete the Salaat as normal.

1. Qunoot-e-Naazila may be recited by the Imaam during Fajr Salaat. A
Munfarid (person performing Fardh Salaat individually) may not recite
Qunoot-e-Naazila. (Shaami vol.2 pg.11; HM Saeed)

2. One may also recite Qunoot-e-Naazila in Nafl Salaat, performed
individually during the night. (Fataawa Mahmoodiya vol.2 pg.138)

3. Females may also recite Qunoot-e-Naazila in Nafl Salaat.

THE QUNOOT (DU'AA): Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates:
Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) would teach us the following
Du'aa
to be recited in the Salaat of Fajr:
to read it in arabic:

 <http://www.jamiat.org.za/images/qunoot1.gif>


Translation : O Allah, guide us aright along with those who have been
rightly guided and grant us safety along with those that have been
granted
safety and support us along with those that have been supported and add
Your
Blessings to what You have given us and save us from the harmful
effects of
what You have ordained ( i.e. lest I should be wanting in cheerfully
submitting to your Decrees) as You alone disposes and no one can
dispose
against You. Anyone who is under Your Protection cannot be lowered and
anyone who is opposed by You cannot gain dignity; our Lord; You are
full of
blessings and Most High, we beg forgiveness from You and repent before
You
and may the blessings of Allah be showered on the Holy Prophet
(Sallallaahu
Alayhi Wa Sallam). O Allah, forgive us and the believing men and women
and
Muslim men and women, unite their hearts with mutual love, set right
their
mutual affairs and help them against theirs and Your enemy. O Allah,
let
Your curse be on those unbelievers who prevent people from treading
Your
path, who reject Your prophets and fight Your chosen ones. O Allah,
make
difficult their plans, shake their feet and give them such punishment
which
is not turned away from a sinning people.


The Ulama have advised that the Du'aa should be according to the
prevailing
situation. (Subul-salaam vol.1 pg.186; Darun Nashril Kitaab)
