Prayers are seen to be the backbone of Muslims ion the Islamic religion. The prayers that are scheduled every day in the Islamic religion are attended by Muslims all over the world. These prayers are attended in the morning hours, day time and the evening consecutively, and they have an impact in the life of every Muslim. One type of prayer that every Muslim in the world is expected to attend is the Dhuha prayer, which at times it may be referred to as the Duha prayer. Normally, the prayer takes place in the morning as it is regarded as the first prayer in a Muslim’s day. However, despite the fact that this is a very essential prayer to Muslims, there are still those who are not well informed about it. For this reason, some of the facts that you need to understand about Duha prayer are as follows.
The first fact about Duha is that it is attended on a voluntary basis. Different from other prayers that may be seen to be a must in the religion, Dhuha is always free and voluntary. Due to the fact that no individual is forced to attend the prayer, it then makes it a voluntary thing. However, due to the fact that the prayer has a lot of impacts in the lives of Muslims, they are always encouraged to take part in it. For this reason, it is essential to understand that the Dhuha prayer is done on a voluntary basis in case you may be wondering how it is normally done.
Another basic of the Dhuha prayer that you are supposed to understand is the fact that its name and purpose is subject to change, depending in the time it takes place. Normally, Duha prayer is expected to take place in the early mornings before sunrise, or a few minutes after sunrise. However, there are situations that may make this to change and the prayer takes place in daytime. At such a time, the prayer changes its name from Dhuha to Ishraaq. On the other hand, when the prayer is used for forgiveness, it is known as the Salat Dhuha.
Finally, it is important that know that the Dhuha prayer, or rather the Duha prayer is considered to have great rewards. When a Muslim prays, or rather takes part in the Dhuha prayer, he/she expects some rewards from the prayer eventually. It is believed that the rewards of attending or participating in Dhuha prayer are sustenance and wealth. For this reason, many are motivated to take part in the prayer. The believe behind this is that wealth and sustenance will accompany them at all times.
