The Prophet (SAW) said: “In a human (body) there are 360 joints and man must perform an act of charity for each one.” The people said: “Who can do that, O Messenger of Allah?” He responded: “One may cover the mucus that one finds in the mosque or remove something harmful from the road. If one cannot do that, he can pray two rak’ahs of Dhuha and that will be sufficient for him.”
The above hadith points to the greatness, excellence and importance of the Dhuha prayer, tressing its legality as two rak’ahs of it are, in a way, equivalent to three hundred and sixty acts of charity. Something like this should be performed regularly and persistently.
Formula to calculate the duration of dhuha prayer
a = (subuh ends - subuh prayer time) / 3
Starting time for dhuha prayer = subuh ends + a
e.g subuh prayer = 6.00a.m, ends at = 7.00 a.m
a = (7.00 - 6.00) / 3
= 20 mins
Starting time for dhuha =7.00+20mins
= 7.20 a.m
Whereas End time = Zohor-a
e.g End time = 1.00p.m-20mins
= 12.40p.m
Or, you can still perform your dhuha prayer until before zohor… it’s a matter of khilaf ulama…
After the completion of the prayer, one is recommended to recite the following du’a:
“Allahumma inna dhuha-a-dhuhauka, wal baha-a-bahauka, waljamala jamaluka, walquwwata quwwatuka, walqudrata qudratuka, wal ismata ismatuka. Allahumma inkana rizqi fissamai fa anzilhu, wainkana fil ardhi fa akhrijhu, wainkana mu’assaron fayassirhu, wainkana haraman fatahhirhu, wainkana ba’idan faqarribhu, bihaqqi dhuhaika wabahaika wajamalika waquwwatika waqudratika atini ma ataita ‘ibadakassalihin.”
Wallahualam
