The current economic crises in our county and the increased prices on essential commodities have adversely effected the routine lives of the people.
In order to get rid of these difficult situations, we should turn towards Almighty Allah by performing good deeds like prayer, fasting, sadaqah (charity), dhikr (remembering Almighty Allah), tawba, isthigfar (Seeking forgiveness), dua (supplication).
Dua (supplication) is a form of worship, and it is also an armament to submit our appeals about our distresses and helplessness to Almighty Allah.
Allah Ta’aala states the following in the Holy Quran:
“Call upon Me, I will respond to you” (Surah Gha’fir Verse 60)
“I am near. I respond to the call of one when he prays to me” (Surah Baqarah: 186)
The Prophet (ﷺ) has recited Qunoot-an-Naazila in prayers and engaged in Dua (supplication) during calamities. Based on this, religious scholars say that it is Sunnah to recite Qunoot-an-Naazila in prayers during these calamities.
Hence, the ACJU urges all Muslims to recite the Qunoot-an-Naazila during the five obligatory prayers, for a period of one month concisely with faith, for the eradication of this difficult situation prevailing in our country and to be blessed with prosperity.
The ACJU requests to recite the following Duas when reciting Qunoot-an-Naazila.
اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ، فإِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ، وَإِنَّهُ لا يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ، وَلا يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ، تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ (سنن أبي داود – 1425)
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ (صحيح مسلم – 2739)
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِن المَأثَمِ وَالمَغرَمِ. (صحيح البخاري – 832)
اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ، وَالْفَقْرِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ (ابن أبي شيبة – 10/ 190)
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ) البقرة – 201)
اللَّهُمَّ أغِثْنَا ، اللَّهُمَّ أغِثْنا ، اللهٌمَّ أغِثْنا (رواه مسلم – 897)
اللَّهُمَّ اسْقِنا غَيثًا مُغِيثًا مَرِيئًا مَرِيعًا نَافِعاً غَيْرَ ضارٍ، عَاجِلاً غَيْرَ آجِلٍ ( رواه أبو داود – 116)
