Qunut Nazilah:

What it is not!

Qunut Nazilah is different to Dua (Qunut) which is recited in Wit'r Salah daily.

Why?

In his noble lifetime Sayyidina Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) offered supplication (du’aa’) at times of calamity on a number of occasions in the time of extreme distress and need thus beseeching Allah (SWT) for His Mercy and benevolence.  Sayyidina Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) made the following Qunut Nazilah for the salvation of the weak and oppressed in Makkah:

 حدثنا قتيبة حدثنا مغيرة بن عبد الرحمن عن أبي الزناد عن الأعرج عن أبي هريرة أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم كان إذا رفع رأسه من الركعة الآخرة يقول اللهم أنج عياش بن أبي ربيعة اللهم أنج سلمة بن هشام اللهم أنج الوليد بن الوليد اللهم أنج المستضعفين من المؤمنين اللهم اشدد وطأتك على مضر اللهم اجعلها سنين كسني يوسف وأن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: غفار غفر الله لها وأسلم سالمها الله قال ابن أبي الزناد عن أبيه هذا كله في الصبح

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (RA) narrated that Whenever the Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) lifted his head from the bowing in the last Raka he used to say: "O Allah! Save 'Aiyash bin Abi Rabi'a. O Allah! Save Salama bin Hisham. O Allah! Save Walid bin Walid. O Allah! Save the weak faithful believers. O Allah! Be hard on the tribes of Mudar and send (famine) years on them like the famine years of (Prophet) Joseph ." The Prophet further said, "Allah forgive the tribes of Ghifar and save the tribes of Aslam." Abu Az-Zinad (a sub-narrator) said, "The Qunut used to be recited by the Prophet in the Fajr prayer." [Bukhari]

Sayyidina Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) also made curses in Qunoot:

حدثنا أحمد بن محمد أخبرنا عبد الله أخبرنا معمر عن الزهري عن سالم عن ابن عمر أنه سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول في صلاة الفجر ورفع رأسه من الركوع قال اللهم ربنا ولك الحمد في الأخيرة ثم قال اللهم العن فلانا وفلانا فأنزل الله عز وجل ليس لك من الأمر شيء أو يتوب عليهم أو يعذبهم فإنهم ظالمون

Sayyiduna Ibn 'Umar (RA) narrated that he heard the Prophet (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam), after raising his head from the bowing in morning prayer, saying, "O Allah, our Lord! All the praises are for you." And in the last (Rak'a) he said, "O Allah! Curse so-and-so and so--and-so." And then Allah revealed: [3:128] You have no authority in the matter, unless Allah forgives them or punishes them, as they are unjust. [Bukhari]

When?

In the Hanafi Madhab, Qunoot is only recited after Fajar Salah after the second Ruku as indicated in the Ahadeeth, above.

What to recite?

Any duas which are applicable to the needs of the Muslims can be recited although the duas mentioned in the Sunnah are obviously considered superior such as:

Transliteration: Allahummahdini fi man hadayta, wa Afini fi man Afayta, wa tawallani fi man tawallayta, wa barik li fi man A'a tait, wa qini sharra ma qadayta, fa innaka taqdi wala yuqda alayka, wa innahu la yadhillu man wa layta, tabarakta rabbana wata alayt.

Translation: O Allah! Guide me along with those who have been guided aright and grant me safety along with those who have been granted safety and patronise me along with those who have been patronised and add your blessing to what You have given me and save me from the injurious effects to what you have ordained. You alone dispose and no other can dispose against you. One who is under Your Protection cannot be lowered. You are full of blessing and Most High.

Transliteration: Allâhummaghfir lilmu’minina wal mu’minât, wal muslimina wal muslimât, wa allif bayna qulübihim, wa aslih dhâta baynihim, wansurhum alâ aduwwika wa ala aduwwihim Allâhummal an kafarata ahlil kitâbil-ladhina yukadh-dhibüna rusulak, wa yuqâtiluna awliyâ-’ak. Allâhumma khâlif bayna kalimati-him, wazaizil aqdãmahum wa anzil bihim ba’sakal ladhi lâ tarudduhu anil qawmil mujrimin.

Translation: O Allah forgive all the Mu ‘min men and women and all Muslim men and women. Unite their hearts with mutual love and set aright their mutual affairs and help them against Your and their enemies. 0 Allah let Your curse be on those disbelievers from among the people of the book who belie the Prophets and who fight Your chosen ones. 0 Allah disunite them and shake their feet and send upon them your punishment, which you do not turn away from sinning people.

How to recite?

1 Since there is no explicit evidence of raising his hands in the Sunnah during Qunut so in the Hanafi Madhab the Imam and the Muqatadi is supposed to keep their hands on their side during Qunut.

2 Since there is no explicit evidence of the followers uttering Ameen loudly behind Sayyiduna Rasul-ullah (Sallaho Alaihe Wassallam) in the Hanafi Madhab Ameen is uttered silently.

Detailed Account of Qunut Nazilah:

Shaykh (Mufti) Ebrahim Desai (HA)

Q.) We in Long Island, NY, USA are a multiethnic Muslim community who runs a mosque. It is one of the largest mosque in Long Island (Alhamdolillah). Our Imam has started adding Qanoot-e-Naazilah in every salat including Zuhr and Asr prayers where recitation is not done loudly but he makes du'a in the last rak'at loudly, and he does the same thing in other three prayers too. He is also reciting many other du'as in addition to Qanoot-e Naazilah. Majority of the people behind him are Hanafi although Shafii and Maliki are also there. My question is what is the fiqh position of this act according to all school of thoughts? Is it allowed in the Sunnah of Muhammed, peace be upon him? How much and what is allowed to make dua during this act?

A.) According to the Hanafi Madhab, Qunoot-e-Naazila will only be recited at times of hardship, difficulties and when the Ummah has been affected by calamities. This Qunoot Naazila can only be recited by the Imaam in the Fajr Salat after Ruku before going down for Sajdah in the second Rakaat. It cannot be recited in any other Salat besides Fajr Salat.

1 According to the Shaafi'ee Madhab, the general Qunoot has to be recited in the daily Fajr Salat. When in times of difficulty and need, then the Qunoot-e-Naazila may be recited in all prayers. The Imaam and also one who is performing Salat individually both may recite it audibly even though it is Dhuhr or Asr Salat

2 According to the Maaliki Madhab, the general Qunoot can be recited in Fajr Salat only. However, there is no obligation to recite it (as in the Shaafi'ee Madhab). It may be recited softly in the Fajr Salat only and not in any of the other prayers, even though the need arises because of difficult and severe conditions

3 According to the Hanbali Madhab, Qunoot Naazila can be recited during difficult situations with the exception of plague. If people are affected by plague, then Qunoot-e-Naazila cannot be recited for them. The Qunoot-e-Naazila may be recited in all prayers besides Jummu'ah. The Imaam will recite it after the Ruku and it is Sunnat for the followers to follow by stretching out their hands in front of their chest (as in du'a). When the Qunoot is over, they should wipe their hands over their faces.

As for the actual du'a, then according to all the schools of thought, it is preferable to recite the du'as that have been narrated in the Ahaadith. However, other du'as are permitted. The du'as must be in Arabic and must not resemble Kalaamun-Naas (talk of people).

We are not fully aware of the situation, however, outwardly it seems as though the Imaam in your Masjid is a follower of the Shaafii Madhab.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Qunoot-e-Nazila

The Socialist Regime has to be (to society), so there is real democracy.

....................................................................................................................................................


Based in this, need to know the reality:

* The media takes communities, weak beings, to the death of the intellect, that the media uses in the same way, having as source the characteristics of each Spanish.
They are experts at hiding "what" to gain supporters.
See Spain has more dead by the roadside than in cemeteries ...
Spanish all have characteristics of "Franco" and enact internemente so hidden, in a life motto> "below intelligence, living death", ie is characteristic cream, that people, "catolizado" even with other types of "faith", to use the knowledge to lead the masses, as well as a "wash crebral", using knowledge, transferring, so that the new "disciples", are conducted to the death of the "knowledge and eigenvalues​​, family, cultural, real.

And, an individual, when it becomes "led" in this way, without respecting its properties, welcome the creation, this really dies when you accept the "truth" of a single, true as true.

A human cannot loss the youth , with the age advancing, because of the
youth is in the soul. the body is only one conductor of the soul that needs care.
Courage for be good and truste are the fundamental element that distinguishes a human from an insect.
Therefore, there can not allow the death of genetic knowledge, taking knowledge exchanged by people who do not know "their real intentions."

The media, used for "build", not possesses elements "destructive of knowledges". It respects values​​ for to grown the truste values of the live "Protection of the Life" "Human Right", and are not "Children of Franco"

 Essential characteristics in a community, are deeply rooted, and in fact, can not be modified in ancient communities, to be recorded in the genetics of each element ..
Our country is the only one in the world that does not have a unique feature, unique. Even in South America, countries were colonized by specific nations. However, Brazil is Mixed. Each element has diversity within itself.

Families from all over the world colonized Brazil, no only europeus: thisis the salvation of the brasilians peoples.

Because of the Militarism, Coloniasm which we live today, more and aware the community is also ignorant (schools, univerdades educate, according to the models Portuguese, Spanish, European, anyway, and educate cattle, slavery to lust be eternal, meeting the needs of large companies on the world. we know that Europe is the failure of failure. Possess debts not payable, and that the community does not have enough natural resources to survive, also the knowledge is blinded for the proud they have of nothing they are, also. They spent time making other slaves, as Jews / Usa. In the fact, USA is mostly inhabited by Europeans) for to get "power" , doing separations, promoting disorder, destabilization, doing everything to get the satisfaction of your desires, even to destroy other lives, caring be expert in to hide
who they are, the feelings, strategy, targets, intents, or be , they game with lives for get their pleasure.
But, when they fell afraid, then they are stupid in back answer non sense, without respect, with strategy for kill others, kill knowledge, kill others characteristics, as they did and do with all peoples from Africa from West, Midle West, Asia, Brazilian natives, also.

 Brazil, as a teenager, is still fascinated by elements of the media, slaves of drugs (some permissive drugs and rare non permissive in this country ). So , many creative (but do not know to manage, to use for to grown without destroy other ....also this is from Europe, Israil, USA Culture , the knowledge showed as lesson in the brazilian tv) , too many information take from corrupt media (tv, news, magazine, etc) . However, due to mixing of peoples within each element Brazil, there is still hope, as the Brazilian, though tainted by corruption, and the most is .... this seeks verade, if only to know, because it was not polite to "cope, manage", so do not know what to do and when he discovers ... the reaction is booming or well cauculada. There is no middle ground for Brazilians!
Therefore, the decline of the media is that there are better, so that the Brazilian will be discovered for a real society with justice real, with equality, When each one  will know their origins, will know where it came from, "to what came," and where will go!
