Dua e Qunoot is a special supplication recited during the Witr prayer, which is part of the Isha Salah (night prayer). The Witr prayer is offered as an odd-numbered prayer (1, 3, 5, etc.), usually performed after the Tahajjud or following Isha Salah.

Dua e Qunoot is recited in the final rak’ah of Witr, after completing the Ruku (bowing) or before it, depending on the practice of the school of thought. This supplication is a heartfelt prayer asking for Allah's guidance, forgiveness, protection from calamities, and help against oppressors. It was taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to his companions as a way to seek Allah's mercy and support in times of difficulty.

This prayer holds great importance in establishing humility, submission, and reliance on Allah. Muslims around the world recite it regularly, particularly during the month of Ramadan, when Witr prayer is performed with congregation during Taraweeh.
