[SkeniaInhilla]

Bismihi Ta’ala

The beauty and perfection of the Sunnah is that it covers the entire spectrum of our lives, so we will most certainly find guidance and direction in regards to every situation and circumstance.

Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi waSallam) taught us, that when we are under the yoke of oppression and suppression, we should recite Qunoot-e-Naazila.

Qunoot-e-Naazila is the dua which Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi waSallam) and his Sahabah (RA) would make to break the power of the enemy and to remain protected from their persecution.

It has been mentioned that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ‘alayhi waSallam) made this dua continuously for a month for the deliverance of the Muslim prisoners, until they returned home.

So we will be bringing alive and following the Sunnah if we do the same – when surrounded by the enemy, when subjected to oppression and persecution.
It is a powerful weapon which we have been given but are not utilizing fully. In fact, majority do not even look towards the Sunnah when it comes to such important matters and such trying times.

SubhanAllah, just the words of Qunoot-e-Naazila offers hope and strength. The impact of it will be seen when we practise - Insha-Allah.



* The person who is praying individually as well as females can also recite the Qunoot-e-Naazila.

* Perhaps one of the members could post the Arabic dua for the benefit of those who do not know it.


Hereunder is a translation of the Qunoot-e-Naazila


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 who 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 we 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 Rasulullah (Sallallaahu 'alayhi WaSallam).

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 Messengers 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.
