QUNUT-i-NAZILA

Whenever, God forbid, the Muslims are faced with critical situation and the menace and terror of the enemy has overcome them, they should recite Qunut-i-Nazila during prayers, especially in the coures of the dawn prayer. After the second Rakah of the morning prayers, recite the following prayers in the standing posture before performing the prostration. Traditions reveal that this prayer was recited during worship by the Holy Prophet ( peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) and his illustrious companions (God be pleased with them) at critical times, they offered this prayer especially during morning worship:

Allahummahdina fiman hadita wa afina fiman 'afaita wa tawallana fiman tawallaita wa barik lana fima a'ataita wa qina sharra ma qadaita fa-innaka taqdi wa la yuqda alaika innahu la yadhillu man walaita wa la ya-izzu man adaita tabarakta rabbana wa ta'alaita nastaghfiruka wa natubu ilaika, Allahumma 'adhdhib-ilkafaratal-ladhina yasudduna 'ansabilika wa yukadhdhibuna rusulaka wa yuqatiluna aulia'aka, Allahummaghfir lil-mo'mininna wal-mo'minat, wal-muslimina wal-muslimat, wa aslih dhata bainihim wal-hikmata wa thabbithum 'ala millati rasulika sallal-lahu 'alahi wa sallam wa auzi,hum an yufu bi'ahdika-al-ladhi 'ahadtahum 'alaihi wansurhum 'ala 'adywwaika wa 'aduwwihim ilah-al-hiqqi waj'alana minhum.
" O Allah ! guide us amongst those whom Thou hast guided aright, and preserve us among those whom thou hast preserved. Include us amongst those whom Thou has taken under Thy protection. Bless us in that which Thou hast bestowed upon us and protect us from the evil of that which Thou hast ordained, for it is Thou Who ordainest and none can ordain against Thee indeed ! Never is he abased whom Thou takest as friend and none is respected Whom Thou takest as a foe. Blessed art Thou Our Lord and exalted. We ask repentance from Thee and turn to Thee; O Allah ! send torment upon the unbelievers, who prevent us from following Thy way and refute Thy messengers, and fight against Thy friends. Allah ! grant forgiveness to us and to the faithful males and females & Muslim men and women and bring reconciliation among them and foster affection ( for one another) in their hearts and bless them with conviction and insight and make them firm and unwavering followers of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him ) and enable them to fulfil the pledge You have taken from; help them against Thy enemies and against their enemies O Real Deity ! hear our prayers and deal us with these people !"
