Dua of Qunoot al-Witr — guide me among those You have guided Open ↗

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

During the qunut of the Witr prayer.

Narration Qunoot Al-Witr — context Open ↗

Evil you have decreed: Allah does not create pure evil which does not have any good or contain any benefit, wisdom or mercy at all, nor does He punish anyone without having commited a sin. Something can be good in terms of its creation when viewed in a particular perspective and at the same time be evil when viewed in another way.Allah created the devil and by him, He tests His servants, so there are those who hate the devil, fight him and his way and they stand at enmity towards him and his followers and there are others who are at allegiance with the devil and follow his steps. So evil exists in His creatures by His will and wisdom, not in His actions or act of creating.

اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَعـوذُ بِرِضـاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِـك، وَبِمُعـافاتِـكَ مِنْ عُقوبَـتِك، وَأَعـوذُ بِكَ مِنْـك، لا أُحْصـي ثَنـاءً عَلَـيْك، أَنْـتَ كَمـا أَثْنَـيْتَ عَلـى نَفْسـِك.

Allahumma innee aAAoothu biridaka min sakhatik, wabimuAAafatika min AAuqoobatik, wa-aAAoothu bika mink, la ohsee thana-an AAalayk, anta kama athnayta AAala nafsik.
