Qunoot

Qunoot is a special supplication normally delivered during the witr prayer. Some also consider it a must for the Fajr prayer, albeit without much authenticity.

Qunoot is also optionally delivered during congregational prayer. This is usually done during some calamity facing the community and so on.

Qunoot is delivered during Qawmah, after the normal recitation there, in the last unit of the prayer. Here the Imam and the followers raise their arms as shown below. Imam recites the supplication loudly, and the followers says "amiin" loudly after each sentence.

ALLahumma-hdinii fiiman hadayta wa:aafinii fiiman :aafayta watawallanii fiiman tawallayta wabaariklii fiiman a:Tayta waqinii sharramaa qaDayta fa-innaka taqDii walaa yuqDaa :alayka innahu laa yadillu man-wwaalayta walaa ya:izzu man :aadayta tabaarakta rabbanaa wata:aalayta nasta:firuka wanatuubu ilayka wasalla-LLahu :ala-nnabiyii
O Allah, make me among those whom you have guided, and make me among those whom you have saved, and make me among those whom you have chosen, and bless whatever you have given me, and protect me from the evil which you have decreed; verily, you decide the things and nobody can decide against you; surely the person you befriend cant be disgraced, and the person you oppose cant be honoured. You are blessed, our Lord, and exalted, we ask for you forgiveness and turn to you. Peace and mercy of Allah be upon the Prophet. (Abu Dawud, Nisai, Ibn Majah, Tirmizi)

After completing the Qunoot then we go to Sajdah.
