    Duha Prayer: Timing: Duha prayer is prayed after sunrise and continues until just before the sun reaches its zenith (the time when the sun is directly overhead).

    Duha Prayer:

    1. Timing: Duha prayer is prayed after sunrise and continues until just before the sun reaches its zenith (the time when the sun is directly overhead). It is preferable to delay it closer to the zenith, but it can be prayed any time between sunrise and just before the zenith.
    2. Surah Duha: While there is no specific requirement to recite Surah Duha during the Duha prayer, it is recommended to recite it as it carries great blessings. Surah Duha (Chapter 93) is a short chapter consisting of 11 verses and can be recited during this prayer.
    3. Sunrise: Duha prayer is not specifically intended for praying for the sun. It is a voluntary prayer offered during the forenoon, primarily to seek Allah’s blessings and express gratitude.
    4. Number of Rakat: Duha prayer typically consists of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 rakats, prayed in sets of two rakats each. The most common practice is to pray 8 rakats, but it can vary according to one’s choice.
    5. Makrooh Time: It is considered disliked (makrooh) to pray during the sun’s rising (when it’s still low on the horizon) and when the sun is at its zenith (directly overhead).

    Duha prayer is a voluntary and highly recommended prayer in Islam, and its timing and the number of rakats can be flexible based on personal convenience and devotion. It is an excellent way to seek Allah’s blessings and show gratitude during the forenoon.

    In Islamic tradition, it is recommended to say “Yarhamuk Allah” (يَرْحَمُكَ اللهُ) to someone who sneezes, as a way of offering a supplication or blessing for them. The phrase “Yarhamuk Allah” means “May Allah have mercy on you.”

    If someone sneezes multiple times in succession, it is generally considered courteous to say “Yarhamuk Allah” each time they sneeze. This practice reflects the Islamic etiquette of responding to a sneeze with a prayer for God’s mercy and blessings.

    Here’s a typical exchange:

    1. When someone sneezes, they say “Alhamdulillah” (الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ), which means “Praise be to Allah.”
    2. In response, you can say “Yarhamuk Allah,” which means “May Allah have mercy on you.”
    3. If the person sneezes again, you can repeat the process by saying “Yarhamuk Allah” again.

    This is a simple act of courtesy and good manners in Islam and is often practiced by Muslims as a way to show care and concern for one another.
