In saheh Muslim, Abu Huyrara reported that the Holy Prophet SAW said,” When Muadhin calls the Muslims to prayer, Satan runs away from the mosque.” It was necessary for all the prophets and the people as now. The importance of prayer is definite by different Ahadith and the holy book of the Quran. The usual focus is on the welfare of Muslims. Instead, the Imam supplicates to Allah from the heart, praying for the Muslims according to the current situation. Often, these aren’t even any specific duas. When we attend prayer at mosques and especially Taraweeh prayer during Ramadan, we will notice that the Imam often reads other duas. With that said, we should know that reciting it in Witr is not obligatory.

However, all Muslims agree that it is sunnah to recite it during Witr. According to some schools of thought, we should also recite this dua during Maghrib and/or Fajr.

The word Qunoot has a few meanings in Arabic, ranging from ‘being obedient,’ to ‘standing.’ It is a special dua with a unique meaning for certain times.Īccording to Hadith, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) also used to recite Dua Qunoot whenever the Muslims faced a disaster or calamity of some sort.

We should try to recite Dua Qunoot in Arabic during every witr prayer, which is the prayer that we say after Isha. One of the ways to recite it is during the witr prayer. We should recite this dua while we are standing. Dua Qunoot is a specific type of Dua that the Prophet (PBUH) instructed us to recite as certain times.
