Revelation of Surah Ad-Duha

Surah Ad-Duha was revealed during a challenging period in the life of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), following a pause in revelations that caused him confusion and doubt about his mission. The surrounding society mocked him, questioning Allah’s favor upon him. This Surah reassures the Prophet of Allah’s constant care and support, affirming that the future will be better than the past.

Hadith

It is recommended to pray Duha, the least of which is two rak’ahs, the best of which is eight, and the average of four or six, and encouragement to do so regularly.

Abu Dharr reported Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: In the morning charity is due from every bone in the body of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah’s glorification is an act of charity. Every utterance of praise of Him is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Oneness is an act of charity, every utterance of profession of His Greatness is an act of charity, enjoining good is an act of charity, forbidding what is disreputable is an act of charity, and two rak’ahs which one prays in the forenoon will suffice.
