== Etymology == "Qunūt" () Qunut comes from the root "qunu", which literally means to obtain something and a cluster of dates, and in Quranic terms, it means obedience and worship along with humility and humility. The word duʿā' () is Arabic for supplication, so the longer phrase duʿā' qunūt is sometimes used.
