Qunut

"Qunut"is asupplicationtype of prayer made while standing inIslam.

Etymology

"Qunūt"(Arabic:القنوت) literally means "being obedient" or "the act of standing" inClassical Arabic.The wordduʿā'(Arabic:دعاء) is Arabic for supplication, so the longer phrase duʿā' qunūt is sometimes used.

Qunut has manylinguistic meanings,such as humility, obedience and devotion. However, it is more understood to be a special du'a which is recited during the prayer.

Customs

It is permissible to make thequnutbefore going intoruku(bowing), or it may be recited when one stands up straight after theruku.Humaid says: "I asked Anas: 'Is the qunut before or after theruku?' he said: 'We would do it before or after. "Thishadithwas related byIbn Majahand Muhammad ibn Nasr. InFath al-Bari,Ibn Hajar al-Asqalanicomments that its chain is faultless.^{[citation needed]}During dua qunut, the hands should be put together like a beggar.

The minorityIbadischool of Islam rejects the practice ofqunūtaltogether.^[1]However, it is normative in all daily prayers among theTwelver Shia.^[2]
