Why is Allah permitting these Hindus to commit such evil? Is there a special dua that we can offer to ease the comforts for our fellow Muslims in Gujarat?

Difficulties do not always come about because of sin. If this was indeed the case, the prophets would never have suffered any misfortune.

Sometimes, Allah Ta'ala inflicts minor calamities that prevent major calamities. Sometimes, people are tested by Allah Ta'ala to ascertain their degree of forbearance before Allah. Difficulties are also a cause for reward and elevation of one's status in the hereafter. Continue making Du'aa and beg Allah's Aafiyat (security and safety from all form of misfortune). Kindly refer attached 'Qunoot-e-Naazila'

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

QUNOOT-E-NAAZILA

Hadith 1
Hadhrat 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)

Hadith 2
Hadhrat 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)

Hadith 3
Hadhrat 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)

Hadith 4
Hadhrat 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.

Jibraaeel (Alayhis salaam) informed Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) of the incident and conveyed to him the heartfelt message of the Qurraa:

?Inform our people that we met our Rabb. He was pleased with us and (in turn) pleased us.?

This 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)

In 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.

Once 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.

METHOD OF QUNOOT-E-NAAZILA

· 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)

· The Muqtadis will not recite the Du?aa with the Imaam. (I?elaa-us-Sunan vol.6 pg.120; Idaratul Qur?aan)

· 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)

· Upon completion of the Du?aa, they will go into Sajdah and complete the Salaat as normal.

1. 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)

2. One may also recite Qunoot-e-Naazila in Nafl Salaat, performed individually during the night. (Fataawa Mahmoodiya vol.2 pg.138)

3. Females may also recite Qunoot-e-Naazila in Nafl Salaat.

THE QUNOOT (DU'AA)

Hadhrat Ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) narrates: Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) would teach us the following Du'aa to be recited in the Salaat of Fajr:

Allahumma ihdinaa feeman hadayta, Wa?aafinaa feeman aafayta
Wa tawallanaa feeman tawallayta, Wa baarik lanaa feemaa a-atwayta Wa qinaa sharr maa qadhayta, Innakaa taqdhiy walaa yuqdhaa alayka Wa inaahoo laa yadhillu man waalayta, Walaa ya-izzu man ?aadayta Tabaarakta rabbanaa wa ta?aalayta, Nastaghfiruka wa natoobu ilayka Wa salla llaahu alan nabiyyil kareem
Allaahumma ighfir lanaa wa lilmu?mineena wal mu?minaat wal muslimeena wal muslimaat Wa allif bayna quloobihim, wa as-lih dhaata baynihim
Wa-nsurhuma alaa aduwwika wa aduwwihim
Allaahummal anil kafarata lladheema yasuddoona an sabeelika, wa yukadh-dhiboona rusulika wa yuqaatiloona awliyaa-aka Allaahumma khaalif bayna kalimatihim wa zalzil aqdaamahum wa anzil bihim ba-asaka lladhiy laa tarudduhoo anil qawmil mujrimeen

The Ulama have advised that the Du?aa should be according to the prevailing situation. (Subul-salaam vol.1 pg.186; Darun Nashril Kitaab)

Therefore, 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)
