In daily five-time prayers, various recitations, including Surah, Tashahud, Darood, and the supplication of Masura, are required. One important supplication is known as Dua Qunoot, which is considered one of the valuable prayers. Through this supplication, significant requests are presented to Allah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would sometimes recite Dua Qunoot.

The Witr prayer can be offered any time from after the Isha prayer until just before dawn. During the third or final Rak'ah of the Witr prayer, Dua Qunoot is recited before going into Ruku. This prayer represents a deep conversation between the servant and Allah in the quiet of the night. As a result of this supplication, Allah is pleased with His servant, fulfilling their needs and granting them relief from worldly troubles.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) performed the Witr prayer and would sometimes wake his wife to join him. He would recite Surah Al-Ala in the first Rak'ah, Surah Al-Kafiroon in the second, and Surah Al-Ikhlas in the third. Occasionally, he would also recite Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Nas. (Bukhari, Hadith: 512, 997; Muslim, Hadith: 744; Musnad Ahmad, Hadith: 2720; Tirmidhi, Hadith: 462)

The term Qunoot refers to silence, prayer, standing in worship, etc. The purpose of Qunoot is to make supplications to Allah while standing in prayer. In the daily five prayers, various recitations, including Surah, Tashahud, Darood, and Dua Masura, are essential components. Another significant supplication is Dua Qunoot.
