What is Duha Prayer?
--------------------

The Duha Prayer, also known as the Forenoon Prayer, is a supererogatory prayer that a Muslim can perform from when the sun rises until just before Dhuhr prayer. It's preferred to be performed approximately fifteen minutes after sunrise. The Hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) states: "Every morning, every joint in your body has a charity due... and it is enough to perform two rak'ahs at Duha" (Sahih Muslim).
