The ''Duha'' prayer (, ') is the voluntary Islamic prayer between the obligatory Islamic prayers of '' Fajr'' and '' Dhuhr''. The time for this prayer begins when the sun has risen to the height of a spear, which is fifteen or twenty minutes after sunrise until just before the sun passes its zenith (after which the time for the ''dhuhr'' prayer begins). When prayed at the beginning of its time it is called Ishraaq prayer. It is also known in Bengali as ''Chashter Namaz'' (চাশতের নামাজ) and in Urdu as ''Namāz-e-Chāsht'' (نماز چاشت).

Every saying of 'Glory to be to Allah' is a charity. Every saying of 'Praise be to Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'There is no god except Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'Allah is the Greatest' is charity. Ordering the good is charity. Eradicating evil i ...

Sunrise
Sunrise (or sunup) is the moment when the upper rim of the Sun appears on the horizon in the morning, at the start of the Sun path. The term can also refer to the entire process of the solar disk crossing the horizon. Terminology Although the Sun appears to "rise" from the horizon, it is actually the ''Earth's'' motion that causes the Sun to appear. The illusion of a moving Sun results from Earth observers being in a rotating reference frame; this apparent motion caused many cultures to have mythologies and religions built around the geocentric model, which prevailed until astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus formulated his heliocentric model in the 16th century. Architect Buckminster Fuller proposed the terms "sunsight" and "sunclipse" to better represent the heliocentric model, though the terms have not entered into common language. Astronomically, sunrise occurs for only an instant, namely the moment at which the upper limb of the Sun appears tangent to the horizon. However, th ...

It was reduced to ''samt'' ("direction") and miswritten as ''senit''/''cenit'', the ''m'' being misread as ''ni''. Through the Old French ''cenith'', ''zenith'' first appeared in the 17th century. Relevance and use The term ''zenith'' sometimes means the culmination, highest point, way, or level reached by a celestial body on its daily apparent path around a given poi ...
