Dua of Qunoot al-Witr — guide me among those You have guided
اللَّهُـمَّ اهْـدِنِـي فِـيمَنْ هَـدَيْتَ، وَعَـافِنِـي فِـيمَنْ عَافَـيْتَ، وَتَوَلَّـنِي فِـيمَنْ تَوَلَّـيْتَ، وَبَارِكْ لِـي فِـيمَا أَعْطَـيْتَ، وَقِـنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَـيْتَ، فَإِنَّـكَ تَقْـضِي وَلَا يُقْـضَى عَلَـيْكَ، إِنَّـهُ لَا يَـذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَـيْتَ، [وَلَا يَعِـزُّ مَنْ عَـادَيْتَ]، تَبَـارَكْتَ رَبَّـنَا وَتَعَـالَـيْتَ
Allāhumma hdinī fīman hadayt, wa ‘āfinī fīman ‘āfayt, wa tawallanī fīman tawallayt, wa bārik lī fīmā a‘ṭayt, wa qinī šarra mā qaḍayt, fa’innaka taqḍī wa lā yuqḍā ‘alayk, innahu lā yadhillu man wālayt, [wa lā ya‘izzu man ‘ādayt], tabārakta rabbanā wa ta‘ālayt
Translation
O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, grant me well-being among those You have granted well-being, take me into Your care and friendship among those You have taken into Your care, bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed. For You decree and none decrees against You. Truly, no one You befriend is humiliated, [and no one You oppose is honoured]. Blessed are You, our Lord, and Exalted far above any imperfection.
When to recite
