Dua Qunoot – Assalamu’alaikum QOI readers, I hope each and everyone of you is blessed and in the safe guards of Allah SWT.
Today, I’m going to compile Dua Qunoot, in its original Arabic form, as well as its transliteration in different languages such in its Latin and English form. And good news insya’Allah – I will also be coming up with transliteration in Malay as well, which you can select the ‘Translation’ Icon at the menu bar at the top right hand corner. I will also aim to cover its meaning so we can truly understand the significance and the benefits of reciting the Dua.

What is Dua Qunoot?
Dua Qunoot (Arabic: القنوت or also known as Dua e Qunoot) is generally being recited during i’tidal or standing during the last rakaat during the Fajr (Dhuha) and Witir (Witr) prayers. The word ‘Qunoot’ derived from the the word “Qanata” which means ‘to stand in prayer with excellence and silence, and to be submissive and humble before Allah SWT‘.
It is sunnah (recommended) to supplicate with qunut in the Fajr and witr prayer, however, different mazhab has different opinions with regards to it which I’m not going to delve into that for now.
Dua Qunoot (In Arabic)
اَللّهُمَّ اهْدِنِىْ فِيْمَنْ هَدَيْتَ
وَعَافِنِى فِيْمَنْ عَافَيْتَ
وَتَوَلَّنِىْ فِيْمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ
وَبَارِكْ لِىْ فِيْمَا اَعْطَيْتَ
وَقِنِيْ شَرَّمَا قََضَيْتَ،
فَاِ نَّكَ تَقْضِىْ وَلاَ يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ
وَاِ نَّهُ لاَ يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ
وَلاَ يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ
تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا قَضَيْتَ
وَاَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَاَتُوْبُ اِلَيْكَ
وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى سَيِّدَنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ اْلاُمِّيِّ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Wasallallahu ‘ala Sayyidina Muhammadin nabiyyil ummiyyi. Wa’alaa aalihi washahbihi Wasallam.
Applying In Daily Practice
In practice, the recitation of dua qunoot above-mentioned is for ma’mum or if you’re doing prayers individually (read: Allah hummah DINII fiiman hadait). However, if you’re an imam, or the person leading the prayers, you will have to replace it with “Allah hummah DINAA fiiman hadait” and apply it throughout the dua. Reason being the word “NII” (DINII) refers to yourself (me) and the word “NAA” (DINAA) refers to a group of people (us).
Islam breaks down qunut into two. The first is Qunut Nazilah which means qunut which is carried out when you’re facing a calamity. The second one, Qunut Shalat, which refers to the qunut that is being recited during i’tidal (standing after ruku’) after every rakaat during fardhu subuh, as above-mentioned.
Impressed with ur dedication.
Asalaam alaikum wararhmatillah wabarkaaatuh
…..I would be very pleased to see the English meaning of the qunoot.
Thank you.
Yes, true, many Muslims do not understand Arabic thoroughly, English
translation will be most helpful!
Salam. I hope this helps 🙂

Jazzaka’Allah khairan khairul ruzain
Thank you very much for this post. It helps a lot. BTW, The English translation of the Du’a would help a lot. Please try to find it and edit the post which then would be complete.
Jazak Allah khair… I am memorizing dua qunoot from here…
Same
O ‘Allah! We implore You for help and beg forgiveness of You and believe in You and rely on You and extol You and we are thankful to You and are not illegate to You and we alienate and O ‘Allah!forsake those who disobey You.
O ‘Allah! You alone do we worship and for You do we pray and prostrate and we betake to please You and present ourselves for the service in Your cause and we hope for Your mercy and fear Your chastisement. Undoubtedly, Your torment is going to overtake infidels
The qunoot I inherited from my grand parents in Nigeria goes thus:
ALLAHUMMA INNA NASTAENUKA,WA NAS TAGFIRUKA,WA NUMINU BIKA,WANATAWAKAL ALYKA…….etc.
I will like to to have complete lyric of this Dua and English Translation.
Bi-salaam
I reach here to understand the meaning of word Qunut-the Dua we read in witer.But the dua you have written is quite different available in our Islamic books on the subject of Nimaz.we read اللهمه انی نستعینک ونستغفرک و نومن بک ونتوکل علییک ونثی علیک الخیر ونشکرک ولا نکفرک ونخلع ونترک من یفجرک اللهمه ایام نعبد وللک نصلی ونسجد و الیک نسع(ا) و نحفد ونرجو رحمتک ونخش(ا) عذابک ان عذابک بلکفار ملحق.l am writing this just for information as we (i.e ) in Pakistan read this dua. The dua you have advised is equally fine and mubarak.Thankful to you doing a great job for Islamic world
Thanks so much I really enjoy the dawaa
The above translation is wrong. The above comment is a translation of a common version of the du’a, but it does translate the Arabic given on this page. The last lines are completely different.
This is a good resource to learn from. A lot of people will benefit from a correct English translation so they know what they are saying. Can anyone provide an accurate translation?
As salam Alaikum.
Please I want to know if the reciting the Qunoot dua in fajr prayer while standing is sunnah?
Maybe
This was so helpful, jazakallah khairan!!!
