Assalamualaikum w.b.t
Our brothers and sisters in Islam in Myanmar are currently facing a great calamity:
10th June 2012:
The racist Rakhines with the co-operation of riot police (Hluntin) set on fire to nearly 1000 houses in the Rohingya villages in Sittwe( Akyab), the capital of Arakan State and over 100 killed and more than 300 wounded by Rakhine racists and security personnel. After setting fire in different villages, the security forces are in cordon the areas. When the Rohingya villagers try to distinguish and intentionally fired to them.

Due to that, it is our responsibility as a fellow Muslims to do whatever we can to help them. One of the possible action and it's the easiest is to recite dua' qunut nazilah for them.
Here, I would like to share
with all my fellow brothers and sisters in Islam, how should we perform Qunut
al-Nazilah. I compress this from fatawas of our great ulama’.
What Is Qunut prayer?
Qunoot, according to the definition of the fuqaha’ is the name
of a dua’ (supplication) offered during prayer at a specific point while
standing.
If a calamity (naazilah) befalls the Muslims, it is prescribed
to say Dua’ al- Qunoot after standing up from rukoo’ in the last rak’ah of each
of the five daily obligatory prayers, until Allaah relieves the Muslims of that
calamity.
(See Tasheeh al-Dua; by Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd, p. 460).
What is Qunoot at times of calamity (Qunoot al-Naazilah)
When praying Qunoot at the time of calamity, one should make
supplication as is appropriate to the situation, as it was narrated that the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) cursed some Arab tribes who
had betrayed his companions and killed them, and he prayed for the weak and
oppressed believers in Makkah, that Allaah would save them. It was narrated
that ‘Umar prayed Qunoot with the following words:
اللَّهُمَّ
إِنَّا نَسْتَعِينُكَ وَنُؤْمِنُ بِكَ , وَنَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ وَنُثْنِي
عَلَيْكَ الْخَيْرَ وَلَا نَكْفُرُكَ , اللَّهُمَّ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ ، وَلَكَ
نُصَلِّي وَنَسْجُدُ ، وَإِلَيْكَ نَسْعَى وَنَحْفِدُ , نَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ
وَنَخْشَى عَذَابَكَ , إِنَّ عَذَابَكَ بِالْكَافِرِينَ مُلْحَقٌ , اللَّهُمَّ
عَذِّبْ كَفَرَةَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِكَ
(O Allaah, verily we seek Your
help, we believe in You, we put our trust in You and we praise You and we are
not ungrateful to You. O Allaah, You alone we worship and to You we pray and
prostrate, for Your sake we strive. We hope for Your mercy and fear Your
punishment, for Your punishment will certainly reach the disbelievers. O
Allaah, punish the infidels of the People of the Book who are preventing others
from following Your way).
(Narrated by al-Bayhaqi, 2/210; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani
in al-Irwab, 2/170)
Can we make dua’ using words other than those mentioned here?
The answer is:
Yes, that is permissible. Al-Nawawi said in al-Majmoo’ (3/497): b The correct view which was stated definitively by the majority of scholars is that there are no specific words, rather any dua’ may be said.

The version narrated from ‘Umar is not something that we have to
follow, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not
pray using these words, so there is nothing wrong with adding more to them.
Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: There is nothing
wrong with adding more to this, cursing the infidels and sending blessings upon
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and praying for the
Muslims.
(Qiyaam Ramadaan by al-Albaani, 31).
(Qiyaam Ramadaan by al-Albaani, 31).
Due to that we can edit the recited by Umar r.a above. We just need to change the last verse of the dua'.
The original version is: اللَّهُمَّ عَذِّبْ كَفَرَةَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِكَ
meaning: O Allaah, punish the infidels of the People of the Book who are preventing others from following Your way
We change it to be: اللَّهُمَّ عَذِّبْ
الْكَفَرَةَ الْبُوذِيِّينَ مِن رَاخِن الَّذِينَ يَصُدُّونَ إِخْوَاننا عَنْ سَبِيلِك
O Allaah, punish the infidels of the Buddhist of Rakhin people who are preventing our brothers from following Your way
Should Dua’ al-Qunoot be said before rukoo’ (bowing) or after?
The answer is: Most of the ahaadeeth and the opinion of most of
the scholars state that Qunoot comes after rukoo’, but if you say Qunoot before
rukoob that is acceptable. So you have the choice of doing rukoo’ when you have
finished reciting Qur’aan, then standing up and saying Rabbana wa laka al-hamd’
then saying Qunoot or saying Qunoot when you have finished reciting Quraan,
then saying Allaahu akbarb and bowing. Both of these were narrated in the
Sunnah.
(Shaykh Muhammad ibn Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him),
al-Sharh al-Mumti, 4/64)
Saying Ameen out loud in Qunoot al-nawaazil (Qunoot of calamities)
?
Shaykh Ibn bUthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: If we
say that Qunoot may be offered in the five daily prayers, if the prayer is one
in which Qurbaan is recited out loud, then it is well known that the Qunoot
should be recited out loud, and if the prayer is one in which Qur’aan is
recited silently then Qunoot should also be recited out loud, as it is proven
in the Sunnah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used
to say Qunoot and the people would say Ameen behind him, and they could not
have said Ameen unless he was saying Qunoot out lout. Based on this, it is
Sunnah to recite Qunoot out loud even in a prayer in which Quraan is recited
silently. End quote from al-Sharh al-Mumti’ (4/47).
