Al-Ḍuḥā (Arabic: الضحى, "The Morning Hours", "Morning Bright", "The Early Hours") is the ninety-third chapter (surah) of the Qur'an, with 11 āyat or verses. Qur'an 93 takes its name from Arabic its opening word, al-ḍuḥā, "the morning".

The chapter begins with oaths. It is often coupled with sura al-Inshirah, sometimes without the basmala between them.

It is said^[where?] that Prophet Muhammad said, "He who recites this Surah will be among those Allah is pleased with, and it is possible that Muhammad (SAW) intercedes for him, and he will be rewarded ten 'good deeds' for each orphan or needy (or petitioner)”.

It should be taken into consideration that according to many narrations, it is said that surah Ad -Dhuha and surah Al-Inshirah are one surah and should be recited in prayers (salah) together. One can also see the close relation between the subject matter of both the surahs.^[1]
