Dua e Qunoot in Arabic
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُكَ، وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ، وَنُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ الْخَيْرَ وَنَشْكُرُكَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ، وَنَخْلَعُ وَنَتْرُكُ مَنْ يَفْجُرُكَ. اللَّهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَلَكَ نُصَلِّي وَنَسْجُدُ، وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى وَنَحْفِدُ، وَنَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ وَنَخْشَى عَذَابَكَ، إِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالْكُفَّارِ مُلْحِقٌ.
Dua e Qunoot Urdu Translation
اے اللہ! ہم تجھ سے مدد اور بخشش مانگتے ہیں، تجھ پر ایمان رکھتے ہیں اور تجھ پر بھروسا کرتے ہیں۔ ہم تیری اچھی تعریف کرتے ہیں، تیرا شکر ادا کرتے ہیں اور تیری ناشکری نہیں کرتے، اور جو تیری نافرمانی کرے اس سے الگ ہوتے ہیں اور اسے چھوڑتے ہیں۔ اے اللہ! ہم صرف تیری عبادت کرتے ہیں، تیرے لیے نماز پڑھتے اور سجدہ کرتے ہیں، تیری طرف کوشش کرتے اور تیری اطاعت کے لیے جلدی کرتے ہیں۔ ہم تیری رحمت کی امید رکھتے ہیں اور تیرے عذاب سے ڈرتے ہیں۔ بے شک تیرا عذاب کافروں کو پہنچنے والا ہے۔
English Meaning
O Allah, we ask You for help and forgiveness. We believe in You and rely on You. We praise You, thank You and do not deny You. We separate ourselves from those who disobey You. O Allah, we worship You alone; we pray and prostrate to You. We strive towards You and hasten to obey You. We hope for Your mercy and fear Your punishment. Your punishment will reach the disbelievers.

Dua e Qunoot Transliteration
Allahumma inna nastaeenuka wa nastaghfiruka, wa nu’minu bika wa natawakkalu alayka, wa nuthni alaykal-khayra wa nashkuruka wa la nakfuruka, wa nakhla’u wa natruku man yafjuruka. Allahumma iyyaka na’budu wa laka nusalli wa nasjudu, wa ilayka nas’a wa nahfidu, wa narju rahmataka wa nakhsha adhabaka, inna adhabaka bil-kuffari mulhiq.
Transliteration is an aid for beginners. Arabic sounds are not represented perfectly by English letters; use the Arabic text and learn pronunciation with a competent teacher.
Sources and Differences in Wording
Ustadh Salman Younas at SeekersGuidance discusses this Hanafi wording and a longer variation. He explains that differences in wording are found in Hanafi works. This page follows the familiar shorter version rather than mixing different versions together.
HadithAnswers’ reference explanation cites a report of Abdullah ibn Masud teaching Qunut in Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6965 and notes other variations. That report should not be described as a verbatim statement of the Prophet ﷺ. The linked answer lets you check its attribution and the wording it records.
How to Learn Dua e Qunoot
- Start with the first short phrase and read its meaning before moving on.
- Compare the Arabic, Urdu and English lines to understand the request rather than memorising sounds alone.
- Read back what you have learned to a teacher who can correct pronunciation.
- Save the poster as a reading reminder. Keep the full Arabic visible when sharing it.
This is a practical study routine, not a required number of repetitions. Take your time with unfamiliar words and return to the same version when practising.
