Islamic Ministry has informed to temporarily halt the recitation of Qunoot-e-Nazilah that was recited in Maldivian mosques during prayer times to pray for the protection of Palestinians in Israel's war against them.
Qunoot-e-Nazilah is a dua (prayer) to be recited in the Fajr Salat (dawn prayers) when faced with peril and adversity to beseech to Allah for mercy and benevolence.
