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).

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:
refer www.alinaam.org.za
for arabic script of the du’aa
The Ulama have advised that the Du’aa should be according to the prevailing situation. (Subul-salaam vol.1 pg.186; Darun Nashril Kitaab)
Therefore, other Du’aas narrated in the Qur’aan or Hadith or such Du’aas not resembling Kalaamun-Naas (such speech that can be sought from people as well) may be recited in Arabic. To recite Du’aas during Salaat in any other language is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi. (Shami vol.1 pg.524;HM Saeed)
DARUL IFTA – MADRASAH IN’AAMIYYAH, CAMPERDOWN
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.
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.

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.
