The Duha prayer (Arabic: صَلَاة الضحى, Ṣalāt aḍ-Ḍuḥā) is the voluntary Islamic prayer between the obligatory Islamic prayers of Fajr and Dhuhr. The time for this prayer begins when the sun has risen to the height of a spear, which is fifteen or twenty minutes after sunrise until just before the sun passes its zenith (after which the time for the dhuhr prayer begins). When prayed at the beginning of its time it is called Ishraaq prayer. Salat al Duha is done to forgive sins and as a form of charity. Abu Dharr reports that Muhammad said: "Charity is required from every part of your body daily. Every saying of 'Glory to be to Allah' is a charity. Every saying of 'Praise be to Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'There is no God but Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'Allah is the Greatest' is charity. Ordering the good is charity. Eradicating evil is charity. And what suffices for that (as a charity) are the two raka'at of Duha." This is related by Ahmad, Muslim, and Abu Dawud as well.[1] It is also known in Bengali as Chashter Namaz (চাশতের নামাজ) and in Urdu as Namāz-e-Chāsht (نماز چاشت). It can be prayed either for four raka'at or until 6 raka'at. If one should pray four raka'at, it should be split into two.
