Fasting is a Spiritual endeavour to reduce emphasis on bodily pleasures and needs, whilst enhancing the Spiritual Power within us, to seek a more powerful connection to heavenly beings, culminating in attaining a nearness to Allah.
The reason is an imam should first consider his makmum before lengthening the recitation of supplication as to not burden the people who are following him.
However, it is prioritized to recite the supplication in and taught in the sunnah of the Prophet PBUH. To conclude, we close this discussion with the words of Imam al-Nawawi RA if a person supplicates with any du’a whether with a verse or several verses from the Quran which encompasses the meaning of supplication, then he is considered as has recited qunut. O Allah our Lord, only towards You we prostrate ourselves to and only for You we pray and prostrate…” “O Allah our Lord, we ask of thee Your help, we seek Your forgiveness and we did not disbelieve, we believe in You and we hate those who disobeyed You. Moreover, it is sunnah for a person praying alone or the imam if they wish to lengthen the qunut supplication by reciting the lengthy qunut supplication of Umar al-Khattab RA and we will include parts of it and it is also recorded in the book al-Azkar by Imam al-Nawawi RA: Indeed, You decree, and none can pass decree upon You, indeed he is not humiliated whom You have befriended, blessed are You our Lord and Exalted.”įurthermore, it is also sunnah to recite the praise and salutations for the Prophet PBUH after reciting the above supplication as stated by Imam al-Nawawi RA in al-Azkar. “O Allah guide me among those You have guided, pardon me among those You have pardoned, befriend me among those You have befriended, bless me in what You have granted, and save me from the evil that You decreed. The following is Qunut supplication as stated in Sunan Abi Daud: In madhhab al-Syafie, it is sunnah for an imam or a person praying alone to recite qunut in the last rakaat of Witir prayer and it is recited on the 15 th last nights of Ramadhan. "Allah's Messenger taught me some phrases to say during Al-Witr 'O Allah guide me among those You have guided.'"
Blessings and salutations to the Prophet Muhammad PBUH, his wives, his family, companions and all those that follow his teachings to the day of judgement.Īccording to the above question, there is a hadith narrated by Hasan bin Ali RA in Jami’ al-Tirmizi and also in Sunan Abi Daud:
What is the evidence which states that it is sunnah to recite qunut in witir after the 15 th last nights of Ramadhan?Īlhamdulillah, praise and thanks to Allah for the countless blessings He has blessed us all with.
