Guide to performing Qunut Nazilah

QUNUT NAZILAH
Qunut is a recitation of doa in facing difficult times and situation and to ask Allah’s protection from any peril.

WAYS TO PERFORM QUNUT NAZILAH
Qunut Nazilah can be done in every obligatory solat: Zohor, Asar, Maghrib, Isyak and Subuh. It is recited after ruku’ while in the position of I’tidal after reciting:
سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ.



There are 3 ways that an Imam can recite this doa:

1. Recite the Qunut for Subuh prayers only.

2. Recite the Qunut Nazilah only.

3. Recite the qunut for Subuh first and continue with the qunut nazilah.

Important Reminder:
· Imam who does not memorize the nazilah prayers, they can recite the qunut as in Subuh prayers and the nazilah prayers can be read after solat.

· Imam should remind his jemaah that qunut nazilah will be recited during the prayers and the ways of performing it.
