Al-Qunut Supplication in Fajr Prayer in the UAE Today: The Full Written Text, Available Offline

From the early morning of Wednesday, 18th March 2026, mosques across the nation, from Abu Dhabi to Fujairah and from Sharjah to Ajman, have been filled with a renewed spiritual warmth. The Qunut supplication has returned to the Fajr prayer, and this time, it's official, following a circular from the relevant authorities. Anyone who prayed Fajr today would have certainly felt the difference – that moment of collective, heartfelt supplication just before the Imam gives the final salutation. It's a practice that harks back to cherished traditions and truly touches the heart, especially during these last ten days of Ramadan.

What's the Story Behind the Qunut Prayer Today?

Qunut is neither an innovation nor something new; it's a confirmed prophetic tradition (Sunnah) that many have longed for during every Fajr prayer. The decision, implemented from today, aims to revive this Sunnah and enhance the spiritual focus and humility (khushu) in the dawn prayer. The blessed atmosphere of Ramadan, combined with this decision, has created an exceptional spiritual ambience in the mosques. People today have been reciting the supplication after prayer, and everyone is looking for a way to memorise it and recite it along with the Imam. For this reason, we are publishing the written text of the Qunut supplication exactly as recited by the Imams.

The Qunut Supplication in Writing: Memorise and Recite It

To share in the reward and follow the Imam word for word, here is the text of the supplication used in most UAE mosques:

• "O Allah, guide us among those You have guided, grant us well-being among those You have granted well-being, take us into Your care among those You have taken into Your care, bless us in what You have given us, and protect us from the evil of what You have decreed. Indeed, You decree and none can decree over You. Indeed, he is not humiliated whom You befriend, nor is he honoured whom You oppose. Blessed and Exalted are You, our Lord."
• It is then recommended to send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and to supplicate for Muslims everywhere.

Many brothers and sisters are asking how they can read the supplication at home or in the car without using mobile data. Therefore, the best solution is to copy the text or save an image of the prayer in your phone's gallery. This way, you'll have the Qunut supplication available offline to refer back to at any time, whether you're in the prayer hall or at home before Fajr.

How to Make Qunut a Part of Your Daily Life?

It's not just about being in the mosque. The Qunut supplication takes on a deeper meaning when we understand its significance. Try, during these days, to teach your children this supplication. Explain to them that we are asking Allah for guidance and well-being. Let them feel the sweetness of standing before the Creator in the depths of the night. For anyone with questions about the wording or the method of supplication, the Imams are available in the mosques after prayers to answer any queries. Today's Fajr, and that of the coming days, has taken on a special flavour in our beloved country. O Allah, accept the righteous deeds from us and from you all.
