Hadith 1%0D%0AHadhrat Nu?maan ibn Basheer (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ?You will see the believers in their mutual mercy for one another, mutual love for one another, and mutual companion for one another like a body. When one limb (of the body) complains, that effects the entire body by being awake and having fever.? (Mishkaat pg.422; Qadeemi)%0D%0A%0D%0AHadith 2%0D%0AHadhrat Abu Musa (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ?A believer to a believer is like a building that strengthens one another (with each brick).? (Ibid)%0D%0A%0D%0AHadith 3%0D%0AHadhrat Ibn Umar (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ?A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so do not oppress him and do not hand him over (to the mercy of the enemies when he is in trouble).? (Ibid)%0D%0A%0D%0AHadith 4%0D%0AHadhrat Aamir ibn Maalik, the leader of the tribe of Bani Sulaym requested the help of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) against the enemies of his tribe. Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) accepted his request and sent seventy Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum) who were Qurraa (experts in the recitation of the noble Qur?aan). The tribe of Banu Sulaym surrounded these Sahaaba (Radhiallaahu Anhum) by a place called Bir Ma?oona and murdered them.%0D%0A%0D%0AJibraaeel (Alayhis salaam) informed Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) of the incident and conveyed to him the heartfelt message of the Qurraa:%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A?Inform our people that we met our Rabb. He was pleased with us and (in turn) pleased us.?%0D%0A%0D%0AThis incident caused great grief to Rasulullah. Abdullah ibn Mas?ood (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) recited Qunoot Naazila for one month continuously cursing the tribe of Bani Sulaym. (Bukhari vol.2 pg.586; Thanwi)%0D%0A%0D%0AIn view of the above, the Fuqahaa have ruled that when the Ummat is in a crisis, they should follow the Sunnah practise of Qunoot-e-Naazila and make Du?aa for the Ummah.%0D%0A%0D%0AOnce again Daarul Islaam (Afghanistan) and Daarul Kufr (America and its allies) are at crossroads and we should resort to the Sunnat practise of Qunoot-e-Naazila.%0D%0A%0D%0AMETHOD OF QUNOOT-E-NAAZILA%0D%0A%0D%0A%B7 In Fajr Salaat, after the Ruku of the second Rakaat, the Imaam will make audible Du?aa. The Muqtadee (followers) will listen to the Du?aa and say, ?Aameen? softly during the pauses of the Imaam?s Du?aa. (Fataawa Mahmoodiyyah vol.2 pg.138)%0D%0A%0D%0A%B7 The Muqtadis will not recite the Du?aa with the Imaam. (I?elaa-us-Sunan vol.6 pg.120; Idaratul Qur?aan)%0D%0A%0D%0A%B7 The Imaam and the Muqtadis should not raise their hands during the Du?aa. The hands should be left by their sides. (Shaami vol.2 pg.9; HM Saeed)%0D%0A%0D%0A%B7 Upon completion of the Du?aa, they will go into Sajdah and complete the Salaat as normal.%0D%0A%0D%0A1. Qunoot-e-Naazila may be recited by the Imaam during Fajr Salaat. A Munfarid (person performing Fardh Salaat individually) may not recite Qunoot-e-Naazila. (Shaami vol.2 pg.11; HM Saeed)%0D%0A%0D%0A2. One may also recite Qunoot-e-Naazila in Nafl Salaat, performed individually during the night. (Fataawa Mahmoodiya vol.2 pg.138)%0D%0A%0D%0A3. Females may also recite Qunoot-e-Naazila in Nafl Salaat.%0D%0A%0D%0ATHE QUNOOT (DU'AA)%0D%0A%0D%0AHadhrat Ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates: Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) would teach us the following Du'aa to be recited in the Salaat of Fajr:%0D%0A%0D%0Arefer www.alinaam.org.za%0D%0Afor arabic script of the du'aa%0D%0A%0D%0AThe Ulama have advised that the Du?aa should be according to the prevailing situation. (Subul-salaam vol.1 pg.186; Darun Nashril Kitaab)%0D%0A%0D%0ATherefore, other Du?aas narrated in the Qur?aan or Hadith or such Du?aas not resembling Kalaamun-Naas (such speech that can be sought from people as well) may be recited in Arabic. To recite Du?aas during Salaat in any other language is Makrooh-e-Tahrimi. (Shami vol.1 pg.524;HM Saeed)%0D%0A%0D%0ADARUL IFTA - MADRASAH IN'AAMIYYAH, CAMPERDOWN%0D%0A
