Ta’meer Al-Wuqoot Bisma’a Ma Qeel Fi Dua Al-Qunoot (Utilizing Time in Listening to What is Said in the Qunut Supplication): An Inspective Study

Abstract

This study aims to examine and verify the manuscript Risālah fī Duʿāʾ al-Qunūt (Treatise on the Qunut Supplication), authored by Sheikh Moḥammed ibn Aḥmad al-Sharīf al-Jazāʾirī (d. 1155 AH / 1742 CE), which focuses on the Qunut supplication in terms of its rulings (aḥkām), proper placement (mawḍiʿ), and wording (alfāẓ). The study seeks to publish, verify, and contextualize the manuscript, alongside providing a biographical account of its author, as part of efforts to preserve jurisprudential heritage and highlight scholarly contributions. The manuscript was transcribed, its text standardized, scriptural references cited, hadiths documented, and annotations added where necessary. The study concludes that the manuscript is authentically attributed to its author, affirming both his scholarly stature and his meticulous approach to textual accuracy. It further demonstrates that the treatise engages deeply with the Qunoot supplication—its rulings, contexts, and linguistic formulations—while revealing the author’s intellectual alignment with the jurisprudential methodologies of Imams Abu Ḥanifah and Malik (may God have mercy on them).
