“The Believers, Men and Women, are Supporters and Protectors of one another. They command Al-Ma’ruf and forbid Al-Munkar, they perform Salat and give the Zakat, and Obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have his Mercy on them. Surely Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.” (At-Taubah: 71)

The Qunoot is recited at times of hardship, difficulties and when the Ummah has been affected by calamities. Usually the Imaam will recite it after the ruku and it is Sunnah for the followers to follow by stretching out their hands in front of their chest (as in du'a) praying that Allah Azzawajal alleviate the calamities from the Muslims as Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam did after 70 Sahaba were murdered.

The current Crusade against the Muslims is evidently clear from the atrocities committed against them in Iraq, Palestine, Kashmir, Chechnya, Somalia and elsewhere.
