It is very difficult for me to learn some prayers, for example, the kunut prayer in the Witr prayer. And instead I read some surah. Having learned that it is obligatory to read this prayer, I began to try to learn it, but during prayer I read this prayer from a book, which I put on the table with the edge away from me, but still facing the direction of the Kaaba. Are my actions correct?
Answer.
Praise be to Allah.
1. There is nothing wrong with saying a prayer. qunut from a sheet or brochure during prayer vitr until you learn it. After that, you should already do without it and turn to Allah, reciting by heart. Those who do not know much of the Qur'an by heart, during additional prayers, it is also allowed to read the Qur'an directly from the Book.
Sheikh Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked about the opinion of the Shariah regarding the reading of the Qur'an from the Book during prayer tarauih. He was also asked to confirm this with the Quran and Sunnah.
He replied:
“There is no sin in reading the Qur'an from a book during the extra night prayer in the month of Ramadan, as this helps the Qur'an to be heard in full (by those praying behind the imam). And also because Sharia evidence from the Koran and Sunnah indicates the correctness of reading the Koran in prayer in general: both from a book and by heart. It is reliably narrated from ‘Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, that she ordered her servant Zakuan to be the imam for her in the additional night prayer in Ramadan, and he read the Quran from the scroll. The tradition about this is mentioned by al-Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him, in his work “al-Sahih” ... ".
2. Prayer qunut does not necessarily have to be pronounced in the words that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) spoke. The person praying can say another prayer or add another one to this one. And even if he reads the verses from the Holy Quran, which contain a prayer, then this will be enough. An-Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said: “Know that prayer qunut, according to the selected opinion of the madhhab, is not a specific prayer. And whatever supplication a person makes, it will be considered that he has made a supplication qunut, even if he read one verse or several verses from the Great Qur'an that contained a prayer. But it is better (to turn to Allah) with those words that came in the Sunnah ... ".
3. With regard to the words of the brother asking the question, that he, instead of reading a prayer qunut read the Quran, there is no doubt that this should not be done. Because qunut- this is a prayer, and if the verses contain a prayer, then they can be read. For example, you can read such verses as the words of the Almighty:
ربنا لا تزغ قلوبنا بعد إذا هديتنا وهب لنا من لدنك رحمة إنك أنت الوهاب
“Our Lord! Do not turn our hearts aside after You have guided us on the straight path, and grant us mercy from Yourself, for You are the Giver!” .
4. With regard to the words of the brother that the reading of the supplication qunut is mandatory, then this opinion is not true, since the prayer qunut- this is Sunnah. Therefore, if the person praying does not read it at all, then his prayer will remain true.
Shaykh Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, was asked about the position of prayer qunut in the prayer of Witr on the nights of the month of Ramadan, and is it possible to leave it?
He replied:
« Qunut- this is the Sunnah in prayer vitr, and if a person leaves it sometimes, then there is nothing wrong with that.”
He was also asked about a person who recites prayers every night of Ramadan. qunut, and are there any messages about this from the righteous predecessors.
He replied:
“There is no sin in this. This is the Sunnah because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught Hussein ibn ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with him and his father, the prayer qunut in prayer vitr He did not order to leave it sometimes, just as he did not order to read it constantly. This indicates the permissibility of both actions. Therefore, it was narrated from Ubayyah Ibn Ka'b, may Allah be pleased with him, that when he prayed with his companions, may Allah be pleased with them, in the Mosque of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he left the prayer qunut on some nights. And perhaps he did this in order to explain to people and educate them that qunut- optional request.
And Qunut al-Nawazil, which is read in case a misfortune has befallen Muslims. Qunut al-Nawazil is recited in each of the five obligatory prayers until the trouble passes. Qunut al-Nawazil, unlike qunut Vitra, does not have a specific form, and the dua in it depends on the circumstances.

Dua Qunoot - This is a type of prayer that is read during prayer by Muslims. Here the word “Dua” means prayer (petition) and the word “Qunut” comes from Arabic « القنوت » and means obedience. This dua, depending on the type of madhabah, is performed differently.
In the Hanafi madhhab, Dua Qunut is read aloud before bowing (ruku), after the 3rd rak'ah of night prayer (Witr). Kunut is considered Sunnah and was previously read by the Prophet Muhammad (SAW).
Kunut dua text with Russian letters (words).
“Allohuma inno nastainuka wa nastagufirukka wa numinubika wa nattavakkalu alaika wa nusni alaikal khair. Nashkurruka wa lo nakfuruk, wa nakhlau wa natruku may yafchuruk.

If a calamity befalls Muslims, it is prescribed that saying Dua al Qunoot in the last rakah of every obligatory prayer until Allah delivers the Muslims is necessary.
Story
According to Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, he said that “Whenever the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, wanted to pray against or for someone, he would read “al-Qunut” after performing ruku.”
In the religious practice of Muslims, prayer witr deserves special attention. His ruling (position), according to almost all theologians, is at the level of sunnah-muakkad.
The word “witr” itself is translated as odd, which indicates the number of rakats in this prayer. The time for its performance is from the moment the night prayer (isha) is read until dawn, that is, the beginning.
According to the Hanafi madhhab, the missed Witr prayer must be made up at another time, while within the framework of the other three theological and legal schools there is no such need. In the collections of the most authoritative hadith scholars one can find many sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), which speak of the need to perform this prayer if a person wants to be one of those who strives to consistently perform the sunnah. In particular, the following hadith can be cited as an example: “Witr is an obligation. The person who considers it unnecessary to perform this prayer is not one of us” (Abu Dawud, al-Hakim, Ahmad).
The procedure for performing the Witr prayer
There is slight disagreement regarding the order of performing this prayer among scholars of various madhhabs. Let us present here all the ways of performing Witr prayer.
1.According to Hanafi and Maliki theological and legal schools, it is considered the most acceptable solution to perform three rak'ahs. The procedure in this case is similar to how it is prescribed to perform evening prayer (Maghrib). The only exception is that in each of the three rak'ahs a Qur'anic sura is read, and in the third - also a dua-kunut (its text is given below - approx. "website"). The proof that it is permissible to perform witr prayer in this way is the hadith narrated by Aisha (p.a.): “The Prophet (s.g.v.) performed witr in three rak'ahs, saying greeting (salam) only at the very end of the prayer” (Muslim) .
2. According to another method that is permitted within the framework Shafi'i and Hanbali madhhabs, witr is also performed in three rak'ahs, but sitting (kuud) in the second rak'ah is not done - the worshiper immediately gets up and reads the Fatiha, an additional sura, makes takbir, pronounces dua-kunut and completes the prayer in the usual manner. There is also an argument in favor of this method in the Most Pure Sunnah. An-Nasai and Hakim cite a hadith according to which the Final Messenger of the Almighty (s.g.v.) performed a prayer without sitting between the second and third rak'ah.
3. Within Maliki madhhab A common way of reading this prayer is in which the prayer is actually divided into two parts. First, two rak'ahs are performed by saying salutation (salaam). Next, there is a short pause, after which the worshiper reads another rak'ah. A hadith is quoted from Ibn Umar, according to which the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) divided the Witr prayer into two parts: two rak'ahs with a greeting and one rak'ah (Ahmad).
4. Performing more than three rak'ahs (five, seven, eleven). This procedure is allowed in the Shafi'i and Hanbali madhhabs. In addition, within the framework of these two theological and legal schools, it is possible to perform Witr prayer in one rak'ah, for which there is corresponding evidence from the sunnah of the Final Messenger of the Almighty (s.g.v.). Al-Bukhari and Muslim cite a hadith in which the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) notes that if dawn is approaching soon, it is permissible to read the Witr prayer in one rak'ah.
Surahs and duas of Witr prayer
The description of performing the Witr prayer will be incomplete without mentioning which surahs and duas are read during it.
In the first rak'ah following “Fatiha”, according to the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), it is advisable for the person praying to use:
“Sabbihisma Rabbikal-`A`la. Al-Lazi Khalyaka Fasauwaa. Wal-Lazi Qaddara Fahadaa. Wal-Lazi Akhrajal-Mar'aa. Faja'alahu Gusa'an Ahuaa. Sanukri`uka Falya Tansaa. Ila Ma Sha'a to Allah. Innahu Ya`lamul-Jahra Ua Ma Yahfaa. Ua nusayiruka lil-yusra. Fazakkir In Nafa'atiz-Zikraa. Sayazzakkaru Man Yahshaa. Wa Yatajannabuhal-Ashkaa. Al-Lazi Yaslyan-Naral-Kubraa. Sum La Yamutu Fiha Ua La Yahyaa. Kad Aflyaha Man Tazakkaa. Wa Zakarasma Rabbihi Fasalla. Bal Tu`sirunal-Hayaatad-Dunya. Wal-Akhiratu Khairun Wa Abqaa. Inna Khaza Lyafis-Suhufil-Ulya. Suhu-fi Ibrahiima Wa Musaa" (87:1-19)
Translation of meaning (according to E. Kuliev):“Glorify the name of your Lord the Most High, Who created all things and gave proportion to everything, Who predetermined the fate of creations and showed the way, Who grew pastures, and then turned them into dark rubbish. We will let you read the Quran and you will not forget anything except what Allah wills. He knows what is obvious and what is hidden. We will make it easier for you to achieve the easiest. Instruct people if the reminder will be beneficial. The one who is afraid will accept it, and the most unfortunate one, who will enter the Greatest Fire, will turn away from it. He will not die there and will not live. Successful is the one who purifies himself, remembers the name of his Lord and performs prayer. But no! You give preference to worldly life, although the Hereafter is better and longer. Indeed, this is written in the first scrolls - the scrolls of Ibrahim and Musa."
In the second rakah It is recommended to read as additional:
“Kul I Ayukhal-Kafiruun. La Agbuduma Tagbuduun. Wala-Antum Gabiduuna Maa-Agbud. WaLa-Ana Gabidun Maa-Abadttum. UaLa-Antum Gabiduuna Maa-Agbud. Lyakum Dinnukum Ua Liyad-Diin.” (109:1-6)
Meaning translation:“Say: “O unbelievers! I do not worship what you worship, and you do not worship the One whom I worship. I do not worship as you worship (or what you worship), and you do not worship as I worship (or Whom I worship). You practice your religion, and I practice mine!"
“Kul-huAllaahu Akhade. Allahus-Samade. Lam yalide wa-lam yuulade. Wa-lam yakullahu kufu an-Ahad." (112:1-4)
Meaning translation:“Say: “He is Allah, the One, Allah the Self-sufficient. He did not give birth and was not born, and there is no one equal to Him.”
In the Witr prayer in the third rak'at it is also necessary to read dua qunoot:
“Allahumma, in-naa nastagyynukya wa nastaghfirukya wa nugminu-bikya wa nattauaqkyalu galaykya wa nuzni galaykyal-haira kullah. Nashkurukya wa la nakfurukya wa nahnagu lakya wa nakhalyagu wa natruku man yakfuruk. Allahumma! Iyakya nagbudu wa lakya nusalli wa us-judu wa ilyaykya us "and wa nakhfid. Nar-ju rahmaatakya wa nah-afu gazabakal-jidd. In-naa gazabakya bil-kafiriina mulhik!"
Translation: “Oh Allah! Truly, we ask for Your help and forgiveness, we believe in You and pronounce praise for the goodness that You bestow. We thank You completely, we are not ungrateful to You, we obey Your command and completely surrender to You. We have nothing in common with those who rejected You. Oh Allah! We worship only You, our requests and prayers are addressed to You, we kneel before You. And we make efforts on Your path. And we rely only on Your mercy and fear Your severe punishment! There is no doubt that Your punishment will strike the disbelievers!”
Praying if he follows madhhab of Abu Hanifa, must read dua-kunut before performing ruqa (bow). Upon completion of reciting the Ikhlas verses, he raises his hands to his ears, pronouncing takbir, then lowers them. Next (not out loud), you need to read the dua-kunut, after which a bow is made and the prayer ends in the usual manner.
IN these actions are performed somewhat differently. The believer makes rukug, returns to the vertical position of qiyam, raises his hands to his chest and pronounces dua-kunut out loud. It is important to note that in the Shafi'i madhhab, reading dua-kunut in this prayer is obligatory only in the 2nd half of the holy month of Ramadan.
In the Maliki madhhab Dua-kunut can be read both before and after bowing. However, within its framework there is no need to raise your hands to your chest and say a prayer out loud.
Within Hanbali madhhab The worshiper reads dua-kunut after bowing from the waist, raising his hands to his chest.
Dua Qunut
Qunut There are two types: Qunut in the Witr prayer and Qunut al-Nawazil, which is read in case trouble has befallen Muslims. Qunut al-Nawazil is recited in each of the five obligatory prayers until the trouble passes. Qunut al-Nawazil, unlike qunut Vitra, does not have a specific form, and the dua in it depends on the circumstances.
Dua Qunut text in Arabic

DUA AFTER Prayer
WHAT IS READ AFTER Prayer
It is said in the Holy Quran: “Your Lord has commanded: “Call upon Me, I will satisfy your duas.” “Come to the Lord humbly and submissively. Verily, He does not love the ignorant."
“When My servants ask you (O Muhammad) about Me, (let them know) because I am near and answer the call of those who pray when they call on Me.”
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Dua is worship (of Allah).”
If after fard prayers there is no sunnah of prayers, for example, after as-subh and al-asr prayers, read istighfar 3 times
Meaning: I ask the Almighty for forgiveness.
اَلَّلهُمَّ اَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ ومِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالاْكْرَامِ
“Allahumma antas-Salamu wa minkas-Salamu tabaraktya ya Zal-Jalali wal-Ikram.”
Meaning: “O Allah, You are the One Who has no faults, from You comes peace and security. O He Who possesses Greatness and Generosity."
اَلَّلهُمَّ أعِنِي عَلَى ذَكْرِكَ و شُكْرِكَ وَ حُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ َ
“Allahumma ‘aynni ‘ala zikrikya wa shukrikya wa husni ‘ybadatik.”
Meaning: “O Allah, help me to remember You worthily, to thank You worthily and to worship You in the best way.”
Salavat is read both after fard and after sunnah prayers:
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى ألِ مُحَمَّدٍ
“Allahumma salli ‘ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ‘ala ali Muhammad.”
Meaning: "O Allah, grant more greatness to our master Prophet Muhammad and His family."
After Salavat they read:
سُبْحَانَ اَللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ وَلاَ اِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَ اللهُ اَكْبَرُ
وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيمِ
مَا شَاءَ اللهُ كَانَ وَمَا لَم يَشَاءْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
“SubhanAllahi wal-hamdulillahi wa la illaha illa Allahu wa-Llahu Akbar. Wa la hawla wa la quwvata illya billahil ‘aliy-il-‘azim. Masha Allahu kyana wa ma lam Yasha lam yakun.”
Meaning: “Allah is free from the shortcomings attributed to Him by unbelievers, praise be to Allah, there is no deity but Allah, Allah is above all, there is no strength and protection except from Allah. What Allah wanted will happen and what Allah did not want will not happen.”
After this, read “Ayat al-Kursiy”. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever reads Ayat al-Kursi and Surah Ikhlas after fard prayer will not be prevented from entering Paradise.”
“A’uzu billahi minash-shaitanir-rajim Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim”
“Allahu la ilaha illya hual hayyul kayum, la ta huzuhu sinatu-wala naum, lahu ma fis samauati wa ma fil ard, man zallyazi yashfa'u 'yndahu illa bi of them, ya'lamu ma bayna aidihim wa ma halfahum wa la yukhituna bi Shayim-min 'ylmihi illya bima sha, wasi'a kursiyuhu ssama-uati wal ard, wa la yauduhu hifzukhuma wa hual 'aliyul 'azi-ym.'
The meaning of A'uzu: “I seek the protection of Allah from the shaitan, who is far from His Mercy. In the Name of Allah, the Merciful for everyone in this world and the Merciful only for the believers in the End of the World.”
The meaning of Ayat al-Kursi: “Allah - there is no deity except Him, the eternally Living, Existing One. Neither drowsiness nor sleep has power over Him. To Him belongs what is in heaven and what is on earth. Who will intercede before Him without His permission? He knows what happened before people and what will happen after them. People comprehend from His knowledge only what He wills. Heaven and earth are subject to Him. It is not a burden for Him to protect them; He is the Most High.”
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Who after each prayer will say “Subhana-Allah” 33 times, “Alhamdulil-Llah” 33 times, “Allahu Akbar” 33 times, and for the hundredth time say “La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika Lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa hua 'ala kulli shayin qadir, "Allah will forgive his sins, even if there are as many of them as foam in the sea."
Then the following dhikrs are read sequentially246:
33 times “SubhanAllah”;
33 times “Alhamdulillah”;
“Allahu Akbar” 33 times.
After this they read:
لاَ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ.لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ
وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
“La ilaha illa Llahu wahdahu la sharika Lah, lyakhul mulku wa lyahul hamdu wa hua ‘ala kulli shayin kadir.”
Then they raise their hands to chest level with palms up, read the dua that the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) read or any other dua that does not contradict Shariah.
Du'a is service to ALLAH
Du'a is one of the forms of worship of Allah Almighty. When a person makes a request to the Creator, by this action he confirms his belief that only Allah Almighty can give a person everything he needs; that He is the only one to rely on and to whom one should turn with prayers. Allah loves those who, as often as possible, turn to Him with various (permitted according to Sharia) requests.
Du'a is a Muslim's weapon given to him by Allah. Once the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked: “Do you want me to teach you such a tool that will help you overcome the misfortunes and troubles that have befallen you?” “We want to,” answered the companions. The Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) replied: “If you read the du’a “La illaha illa anta subhanakya inni kuntu minaz-zalimin247”, and if you read the du’a for a brother in faith who is absent at that moment, then du’a will be accepted by the Almighty." Angels stand next to the person reading the du’a and say: “Amen. May the same happen to you."
Du'a is an ibadat rewarded by Allah and there is a certain order for its fulfillment:
Du'a should begin with the words of praise of Allah: "Alhamdulillahi Rabbil 'alyamin", then you need to read salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam): "Allahumma sally 'ala ali Muhammadin wa sallam", then you need to repent of sins: "Astaghfirullah" .
It is reported that Fadala bin Ubayd (pleasant Allah anhu) said: “(Once) the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) heard how one person during his prayer began to address prayers to Allah without glorifying (before that) Allah and not turning to Him with supplications for the Prophet, (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and the Messenger of Allah, (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), said: “This (man) hastened!”, After which he called him to himself and said to him / or: …to someone else/:
“When one of you (wants) turns to Allah with a prayer, let him begin by giving praise to his Most Glorious Lord and glorify Him, then let him invoke blessings on the Prophet” - (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), - “and only then asks for what he wants.”
Caliph Umar (may the mercy of Allah overshadow him) said: “Our prayers reach the heavenly spheres called “Sama” and “Arsha” and remain there until we say salawat to Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and only after that they reach the Divine throne.”
2. If the du’a contains important requests, then before it begins, you must perform ablution, and if it is very important, you must perform ablution of the whole body.
3. When reading the du'a, it is advisable to turn your face towards the Qibla.
4. Hands should be held in front of the face, palms up. After completing the du'a, you need to run your hands over your face so that the barakah with which the outstretched hands are filled also touches your face. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: “Truly, your Lord, the Living, the Generous, cannot refuse His servant if he raises his hands in supplication"
Anas (radiyallahu anhu) reports that during the dua, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) raised his hands so much that the whiteness of his armpits was visible."
5. The request must be made in a respectful tone, quietly, so that others do not hear, and one must not turn one’s gaze to the heavens.
6. At the end of the du’a, you must, as at the beginning, pronounce words of praise to Allah and salawat to the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) then say:
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ .
وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ .وَالْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
"Subhana Rabbikya Rabbil 'izatti 'amma yasifuna wa salamun 'alal mursalina wal-hamdulillahi Rabbil 'alamin."
When does Allah accept du'a first?
At certain times: the month of Ramadan, the Night of Laylat-ul-Qadr, the night of the 15th of Sha'ban, both nights of the holiday (Eid al-Adha and Kurban Bayram), the last third of the night, the night and day of Friday, the time from the beginning of dawn to the appearance of the sun, from the beginning of sunset to its completion, the period between the adhan and the iqamat, the time when the imam began the Juma prayer and until its end.
With certain actions: after reading the Qur'an, while drinking Zamzam water, during rain, during Sajd, during Zikr.
In certain places: in places where the Hajj is performed (Mount Arafat, Mina and Muzdalif valleys, near the Kaaba, etc.), near the source of Zamzam, near the grave of the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
Du'a after prayer
“Sayidul-istigfar” (Lord of prayers of repentance)
اَللَّهُمَّ أنْتَ رَبِّي لاَاِلَهَ اِلاَّ اَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَاَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَاَنَا عَلىَ عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَااسْتَطَعْتُ أعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَاَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْليِ فَاِنَّهُ لاَيَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ اِلاَّ اَنْتَ
“Allahumma anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa anta, halyaktani wa ana abduk, wa ana a’la a’hdike wa va’dike mastata’tu. A’uzu bikya min sharri ma sanat’u, abuu lakya bi-ni’metikya ‘aleyya wa abu bizanbi fagfir lii fa-innahu la yagfiruz-zunuba illya ante.”
Meaning: “My Allah! You are my Lord. There is no god other than You worthy of worship. You created me. I am your slave. And I try to the best of my ability to keep my oath of obedience and fidelity to You. I resort to You from the evil of the mistakes and sins I have committed. I thank You for all the blessings You have given, and I ask you to forgive my sins. Grant me forgiveness, for there is no one but You who forgives sins.”

Meaning: “O Allah, accept from us our prayer, and our fasting, our standing before You, and reading the Koran, and bowing from the waist, and bowing to the ground, and sitting before You, and praising You, and recognizing You as the only One, and humility ours, and our respect! O Allah, fill our gaps in prayer, accept our correct actions, answer our prayers, forgive the sins of the living and have mercy on the deceased, O our Lord! Oh Allah, oh Most Generous, protect us from all troubles and illnesses.
O Allah, accept our prayers farz and sunnah, with all our omissions, according to Your mercy and generosity, but do not throw our prayers in our faces, O Lord of the worlds, O best of Helpers! May we rest as Muslims and join us among the righteous. May Allah Almighty bless the best of his creations to Muhammad, his relatives and all his companions.”

Meaning O Allah, verily, I seek refuge in Your favor from Your indignation and Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You! I cannot count all the praises that You are worthy of, for only You Yourself have given them to Yourself in sufficient measure.
رَبَّنَا لاَ تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا وَهَبْلَنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنتَ الْوَهَّابُ

Meaning: “Our Lord! Don't punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Do not place on us the burdens that you placed on previous generations. Our Lord! Don't put on us what we can't do. Have pity, forgive us and have mercy, You are our ruler. So help us against the unbelieving people.”

Surah al-‘Asr
«
Wal-'asr. Innal-inseene lafii khusr. Illal-lyaziine eemenuu wa ‘amilyu ssoolikhaati wa tavaasav bil-hakky wa tavaasav bis-sabr” (Holy Koran, 103).
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ
إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ
« In the name of God, whose mercy is eternal and limitless. I swear by the era [century]. Verily, man is at a loss, except for those who believed, did good deeds, commanded each other the truth [helped to preserve and strengthen the faith] and commanded each other patience [in submission to God, removing themselves from sin]».

« In the name of God, whose mercy is eternal and limitless. The punishment [of Hell awaits] every slanderer who seeks out the shortcomings of others, who [among other things] accumulates wealth and [constantly] counts it [thinking that it will help him in trouble]. He thinks that wealth will immortalize him [make him immortal]?! No! He will be thrown into al-khutoma. Do you know what “al-khutoma” is? This is the kindled fire of the Lord [hell fire], which reaches the hearts [gradually burning them and bringing them incomparable pain]. The gates of Hell are closed, and there are bolts on them [that will never allow them to open].

« In the name of God, whose mercy is eternal and limitless. Don’t you see how your Lord dealt with the owners of the elephants [aren’t you surprised by what happened then]?! Didn’t He turn their cunning into a delusion [didn’t their intention end in complete failure]?! And [the Lord] sent down on them [on the army of Abraha] the Ababil birds. They [the birds] threw stones of burnt clay at them. And [the Lord] turned them [the warriors] into chewed grass».

« In the name of God, whose mercy is eternal and limitless. Allah... There is no god but Him, the eternally Living, Existing One. Neither sleep nor slumber will befall him. To Him belongs everything that is in heaven and everything that is on Earth. Who will intercede before Him, except according to His will? He knows what has been and what will be. No one is able to comprehend even a particle of His knowledge, except by His will. Heaven and Earth are embraced by His Throne, and His care for them does not bother Him. He is the Most High, the Great!»

« In the name of God, whose mercy is eternal and limitless. Say: “I seek from the Lord the dawn of salvation from the evil that comes from what He created, and the evil of the darkness that has fallen, from the evil of those who cast spells and the evil of the envious, when envy ripens in him».

« In the name of God, whose mercy is eternal and limitless. Say: “I seek salvation from the Lord of men, the Ruler of men, the God of men. [I seek salvation from Him] from the evil of the whispering Satan, who retreats [at the mention of the Lord], [the Devil] who introduces confusion into the hearts of people, and from the [evil representatives of Satan from among] jinn and people».
Several semantic translations are possible: “I swear by the time interval that begins after the sun moves from its zenith and continues until sunset”; "I swear by the afternoon prayer."
That is, the slanderers thrown into “al-hutoma” will lose all hope of liberation, the gates of Hell will be tightly closed in front of them.
The Quranic sura tells about a historical event that occurred in the year of birth of the last messenger of the Lord Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and became a sign for people who understand.
By this time, the ancient temple of Monotheism, the Kaaba, restored by the prophet Abraham (see: Holy Koran, 22:26, 29), was again turned by the Arabs into the main temple of their pagan pantheon. Mecca became the center of paganism, attracting pilgrims from all over the Arab East. This caused discontent among the rulers of neighboring states. Then the ruler of Yemen, Abraha, in order to attract pilgrims, built a new temple, striking in its luxury and beauty. But the religious building was never able to become a center of pilgrimage for nomads, who still recognized only Mecca as such.
One day, a certain pagan Bedouin, demonstrating his disrespect for a Yemeni temple, desecrated it. Upon learning of this, Abraha vowed to wipe the Kaaba from the face of the earth.
In the army he equipped there were eight (according to other sources - twelve) elephants, which were supposed to destroy the Kaaba.
Approaching Mecca, Abraha's army set up a rest camp. The camels grazing in the vicinity immediately became prey for the Yemenis. Among them were two hundred camels that belonged to one of the most respected people of Mecca, ‘Abdul-Muttalib (grandfather of the future Prophet).
Meanwhile, Abraha ordered the most respected Meccan to be brought to him. Residents pointed to ‘Abdul-Muttalib, who went to negotiate with Abraha. The dignity and nobility of ‘Abdul-Muttalib immediately inspired the ruler of Yemen to respect him, and he invited the Meccan to sit next to him. “Do you have any request for me?” – asked Abraha. “Yes,” replied ‘Abdul-Muttalib. “I want to ask you to return my camels, which your soldiers took away.” Abraha was surprised: “Seeing your noble face and courage, I sat down next to you. But after hearing you, I realized that you are a cowardly and selfish person. While I came with the intention of razing your shrine from the face of the earth, are you asking for some camels?!” “But I am only the owner of my camels, and the Lord Himself is the owner of the temple, He will save it ...” was the answer. Taking his herd, ‘Abdul-Muttalib returned to the city, abandoned by the inhabitants, who were unable to resist the huge army. Together with the people accompanying him, ‘Abdul-Muttalib prayed for a long time at the threshold of the Kaaba, offering a prayer for the salvation and preservation of the Lord’s temple, after which they left Mecca.
When Abraha's troops tried to storm the city, a miraculous sign happened: a flock of birds appeared and threw stones from burnt clay at the army. Abraha's army was destroyed. Defenseless Mecca and Kaaba were saved, for according to the plan of the Lord, a different fate was destined for them.
This story is a clear sign for those with understanding.
See, for example: Ibn Kasir I. Tafsir al-qur'an al-'azim. T. 4. pp. 584, 585.
The Lord is Almighty: He manifests His punishment through seemingly weak and defenseless creatures. So, for the refusal of the pharaoh to release Moses and his people for worship, one of the "executions of Egypt" was the invasion of toads, midges, "dog flies", locusts that flooded all of Egypt. The "plagues of Egypt," according to the Bible, forced the pharaoh to release the people of Israel from captivity (Ex. 8:10).
