صَلَاةُ الضُّحَى
Duha (Forenoon) Prayer & Ishraq Prayer
🌟 Virtue: The Prophet ﷺ said: "In the morning, charity is due on every joint of the body of every one of you. Every utterance of Allah's glorification (SubhanAllah) is charity, every utterance of praise of Allah (Alhamdulillah) is charity, every utterance of declaration of His Oneness (La ilaha illa Allah) is charity, every utterance of His Greatness (Allahu Akbar) is charity, enjoining good is charity, forbidding evil is charity. And two Rak'ats of Duha prayer is equal to all of this (in reward)." (Muslim)
