Salaat ad-Duha (Forenoon Prayer)

Salaat Ad-Duha (Forenoon Prayer)

1- Abu Hurayra (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "My companion (the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) advised me three things: to fast three days of every month, to perform the two rak'ats of Duha, and that I perform Witr prayer before I go to sleep.”¹

2- Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

"In the morning, charity is due on every joint bone of the body of everyone of you. Every utterance of Allah's glorification (i.e., saying Subhan Allah) is an act of charity, and every utterance of his praise (i.e., saying Al-hamdu-lillah) is an act of charity and every utterance of declaration of his greatness (i.e., saying Allah-u Akbar) is an act of charity; and enjoining al-M'aruf (good) is an act of charity, and forbidding Munkar (evil) is an act of charity, and two rak'ah of al-Duha prayers which one performs in the forenoon is equal to all this (in reward).''²
