The Qunut Duas are important supplications commonly recited during the Witr prayer in Islam. Muslims recite these duas to seek help, forgiveness, guidance, and spiritual support from Allah.
Modern life often creates emotional pressure, stress, and uncertainty. The Qunut Duas help strengthen spiritual calmness, inner peace, and emotional resilience.
These duas are not only memorized words. They also encourage trust, humility, and spiritual awareness.
First Qunut Dua (Transliteration)
“Allahumma innā نستعينك ونستغفرك ونستهديك ونؤمن بك ونتوب إليك ونتوكل عليك ونثني عليك الخير كله نشكرك ولا نكفرك ونخلع ونترك من يفجرك.”
Meaning
“O Allah, we seek Your help, forgiveness, and guidance. We believe in You, repent to You, trust in You, and praise You with all goodness. We thank You and do not deny You. We abandon those who disobey You.”
Second Qunut Dua (Transliteration)
“Allahumma iyyāka na‘budu wa laka nuṣallī wa nasjud. Wa ilayka nas‘ā wa naḥfid. Narjū raḥmataka wa nakhshā ‘adhābak. Inna ‘adhābaka bil-kuffāri mulḥiq.”
