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 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]

Summary

• 1-3 Muhammad comforted by the assurance that God is with him
• 4-5 The life to come to be preferred to the present life
• 6-11 Muhammad exhorted to care for the orphan and beggar ^[2]
