There is no unified prayer in Islamic law for the removal of calamities. And whoever introduces into this religion of ours something that does not belong to it, it is rejected, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which does not belong to it, it is rejected." What the religion has prescribed is Qunut (supplication) during adversities and epidemics, and it is prescribed for Muslims to perform Qunut in the five daily prayers.
