The excellence of the Dhuha prayer
Many hadith describe the excellence of the Dhuha prayer.
Abu Zharr reports that the Prophet sallallahu aleihi wasallam said:"Charity is required from every part of your body daily. Every saying of 'Glory be to Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'Praise be to Allah' is Charity. Every saying of 'There is no God but Allah' is Charity. Every saying of 'Allah is the Greatest' is Charity. Ordering the good is Charity.Eradicating the evil is Charity. And what suffices for that (as a Charity) are the two rak'at of Dhuha." This is related by Ahmad, Muslim, and Abu Dawud.
Ahmad and Abu Dawud record from Buraidah that the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wasallam said: "In a human (body) there are 360 joints and man must make a 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 could not do that,he could pray two rak'at of Dhuha and that will be sufficient for him."
Talking of the legal import of these hadith, ash-Shaukani says: "These two hadith point to the greatness, excellence, and importance of the Dhuha prayer, stressing its legality as its two rak'at suffice for 360 charities.Something like this should be performed regularly and persistently. The hadith also establish the importance of saying 'Glory be to Allah', 'Praise be to Allah', and 'There is no God but Allah.' And [the importance of] ordering the good, eradicating the evil, removing the spittle, removing what is harmful from the path, and such other acts that will fulfill what is required of a person of daily charities."
An-Nawas ibn Sam'an relates that the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wasallam said:"Allah said: 'Son of Adam, do not fail in performing four rak'at in the early day as it will be sufficient for the latter part of the day."' This is related by al-Hakim and at-Tabarani and its narrators are trustworthy.Ahmad, at-Tirmizhi, Abu Dawud, and an-Nasa'i relate it on the authority of Na'im al-Ghatfani with a good chain. At-Tirmizhi's wording is: "Son of Adam, pray four rak'at for Me in the early day and it will be sufficient for you for the latter part of the day."
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr says: "The Messenger of Allah sent an expedition and they obtained lots of booty and returned quickly. The people talked about their quick victory, abundant booty, and quick return. At this the Messenger of Allah said: 'Shall I not guide you to a closer battle, a greater booty and a quickerreturn? Whoever makes wudu' and then goes to the mosque to pray Dhuha, that isthe closer battle, better booty, and quicker return."' This is related by Ahmad and at-Tabarani. Abu Ya'la has something similar to it.
Abu Hurairah says: "My friend [the Messenger of Allah] advised me to do three things: fasting three days of every month, praying the Dhuha prayer, and praying the Witr prayer before I sleep." This is related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
Anas says: "During a journey, I saw the Messenger of Allah pray eight rak'at in the early day. When he finished, he said: 'I prayed my prayer wishing and fearing. I asked my Lord for three things and He gave me two and withheld one. I asked Him not to put my Ummah to trial by famine and He granted that request. And I asked that they would not be overtaken by their enemies and He granted that request. And I asked that they not be split into groups and parties and He refused that request."' This is related by Ahmad,an-Nasa'i, al-Hakim, and ibn Khuzaimah who classifies it as Sahih.

Beautiful advice:
In Madarij as-Salikin, he said, “Shaykh al-Islam ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said to me one time, ‘ When one understands that trials and misfortunes are inevitable, he will not get angry when they occur, nor will he grieve or feel sadness due to them’.
So when one is patient with those trials and does not let them break him, it is hoped that he will rise to the level of attainment ( of true servitude to Allah). His soul will become disciplined and will be content with Allah, and it will be weaned off its bad habits, until love of Allah will drench his heart and his soul and his limbs will all become obedient to the commands ( of Allah ). At that point, his heart will see sense that Allah is with him and is supporting him. His every motion and every pause will be through Allah, not by himself. His heart will receive many divine insights, such that he will appreciate Allah’s Divinity, His control of all things, and his Uniqueness. It is upon understanding of theses three qualities that all knowledge and fundamentals are based”

Salatul Dhuha is a Prized Prayer
Salatul Dhuha is a prized prayer and whoever wishes to earn reward should pray it, while there is no blame upon the one who does not pray it.
Abu Sa'id reports: "The Prophet salla allahu alaihi wasallam would pray Dhuha until we thought he would never abandon it. And he would abandon it to the point that we thought he would no longer perform it." This is related by at-Tirmizhi who says it is hasan.
Anas relates that the Messenger of Allah said: "Prayer in my mosque is equal to ten thousand prayers [elsewhere]. And prayer in the inviolable mosque is equivalent to one hundred thousand prayers [elsewhere]. And prayer in the battlefield is equivalent to one million prayers [elsewhere]. And what is more than all of that is two rak'at by a slave [of Allah] during the middle of the night." This is reported by Abu ash-Shaikh, Ibn Hibban in his workath-Thawab, and al-Munzhiri, in his book at-Targhib watTarhib, is silent about it.
Volume2, Page 31a:
Recommended time for the Dhuha Prayer
The time for Dhuha begins when the sun is about a spear's length above the horizon and it continues until the sun reaches its meridian. It is preferred to delay it until the sun has risen high and the day has become hot.
Zaid ibn Arqam relates: "The Messenger of Allah salla Allahu alaihi wasallam went to the people of Quba', and they were performing Dhuha, and he said: 'The prayer of devotion should be observed when the young weaned camels feel the heat of the sun.'" This is related by Ahmad, Muslim, and at-Tirmizhi.
Volume2, Page 31b:
Number of rak'at for the Dhuha Prayer
The minimum number of rak'ah to be prayed is two, as was mentioned in the hadith of Abu Zharr. The most that the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wasallam performed was eight rak'at, where as, the most he mentioned was twelve rak'at. Some people, such as Abu Ja'far at-Tabari, al-Mulaimi, and ar-Ruwyani, who subscribes to the Shafi' school, say there is no maximum limit to the number of rak'at that one may perform for Dhuha.
Al-'lraqi says, in the commentary on Sunan at-Tirmizhi: "None of the companions or followers are known to have restricted it to twelve rak'at."As-Syuti agrees with it.
Sa'id ibn Mansur records that al-Hassan was asked: "Did the companions perform it?" He answered: "Yes . . . some of them would pray two rak'at and some of them would pray four rak'at. And some of them would continue until half the [early] day [had passed]."
Ibrahim an-Nakha'i reports that al-Aswad ibn Yazid was asked: "How many rak'at are to be prayed for Dhuha?" He answered:
"As many as you wish."
Umm Hani narrates that the Prophet salla allahu alAIhi wasallam prayed eight rak'at of Dhuha and made the taslim after every two rak'at. This is related by Abu Dawud with a sahih chain.
'Aishah reports: "The Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wasallam would pray four rak'at for Dhuha and would add to it whatever Allah willed." This is related by Ahmad, Muslim, and ibn Majah.
If performed after remembering Allah from the time of Fajr prayer, it's equivalent to the complete reward of Hajj & Umrah.
"Whoever prays the Fajr prayer then sits in his place of prayer remembering Allah until sunrise, then prays two rak`ats of Dhuha, shall be rewarded as if he had performed Hajj and Umrah, with a reward that is complete, complete, complete." [Tirmidhi, hasan]
(Note: This doesn't nullify the requirement to perform Hajj).

Paradise is beneath her feet
It was narrated from Mu'awiyah bin Jahimah As-Sulami, that Jahimah came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said:
"O Messenger of Allah! I want to go out and fight (in Jihad) and I have come to ask your advice." He said: "Do you have a mother?" He said: "Yes." He said: "Then stay with her, for Paradise is beneath her feet."
Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 3104, Al-Tabaraani (1/225/2).
Grade: Sahih (Darussalam) al Albani, and by others such as Al-Haakim classed it as saheeh (4/151) and al-Dhahabi agreed with him, as did al-Mundhiri, 3/214.

Ruling for the women looking at men
The best women are those who do not see the men and who are not seen by the men. - Fatima Zahra (س) Ahkam-un-Nisa, p.219.
Zina (adultery, fornication) does not refer only to penetration, rather there is the zina of the hand, which is touching that which is forbidden, and the zina of the eyes, which is looking at that which is forbidden, even though zina that is committed with the private parts, is the zina which is punishable with the hadd punishment.
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Allaah has decreed for every son of Adam his share of zina, which he will inevitably commit. The zina of the eyes is looking, the zina of the tongue is speaking, one may wish and desire, and the private parts confirm that or deny it.”
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5889; Muslim, 2657.
And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts)”
[al-Noor 24:30-31]
The sinner should not be deceived into thinking that he will not commit zina and that he will stop at these haraam actions and not go that far, for the Shaytaan will never leave him alone. There is no hadd punishment for these haraam actions, such as kissing etc., because the hadd punishment is only for intercourse (zina), but the judge may punish him with a ta’zeer punishment to deter him and others like him from committing these sins.
Ibn al-Qayyim said:
Ta’zeer punishments may be prescribed for every sin for which there is no hadd punishment or specific expiation (kafaarah), for sins are of three kinds: those for which there is a hadd punishment but no kafaarah is required; those for which kafaarah is required but there is no hadd punishment; and those for which there is neither a hadd punishment nor kafaarah. The first type includes such crimes as stealing, drinking alcohol, zina and slander. The second includes having intercourse during the day in Ramadaan, or when in ihraam. The third type includes having intercourse with a slave woman who is owned jointly with someone else, kissing a non-mahram woman and being alone with her, entering the public baths without a waist wrapper, eating dead meat, blood and pork, and so on.
I’laam al-Muwaqqa’een, 2/77
The person who has committed any of these actions has to repent to Allaah, for whoever repents Allaah will accept his repentance, and the one who repents is like one who did not sin.
One of the greatest means of expiation for such sins is offering the five daily prayers regularly and on time. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The five daily prayers, and from one Jumu’ah to the next, and from one Ramadaan to the next, expiates for the sins that come in between, so long as you avoid major sins.” Narrated by Muslim, 1/209
The Muslim has to protect his senses and faculties from everything that is of no benefit to him, let alone whatever is haraam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allaah).” [al-Israa’ 17:36]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Looking is one of the arrows of Shaytaan.” Television is full of men and women who are promiscuous and immoral, and usually is not free from music and all other kinds of haraam things, so in general it is not good to look at it. May Allaah help us.
The Difference Between Seeing and Looking
Looking at the opposite gender in an impermissible way/area is a sin when done intentionally. The Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace) advised us to divert our gaze if we see something impermissible and stated that we are not accountable for that first (unintentional) glance. Still, we are accountable if we look again.
The best women are those who do not see the men and who are not seen by the men. - Fatima Zahra (س) Ahkam-un-Nisa, p.219.
Zina (adultery, fornication) does not refer only to penetration, rather there is the zina of the hand, which is touching that which is forbidden, and the zina of the eyes, which is looking at that which is forbidden, even though zina that is committed with the private parts, is the zina which is punishable with the hadd punishment.

I’laam al-Muwaqqa’een, 2/77
The person who has committed any of these actions has to repent to Allaah, for whoever repents Allaah will accept his repentance, and the one who repents is like one who did not sin.
One of the greatest means of expiation for such sins is offering the five daily prayers regularly and on time. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The five daily prayers, and from one Jumu’ah to the next, and from one Ramadaan to the next, expiates for the sins that come in between, so long as you avoid major sins.” Narrated by Muslim, 1/209
The Muslim has to protect his senses and faculties from everything that is of no benefit to him, let alone whatever is haraam. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart, of each of those you will be questioned (by Allaah).” [al-Israa’ 17:36]
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Looking is one of the arrows of Shaytaan.” Television is full of men and women who are promiscuous and immoral, and usually is not free from music and all other kinds of haraam things, so in general it is not good to look at it. May Allaah help us.
The Difference Between Seeing and Looking
Looking at the opposite gender in an impermissible way/area is a sin when done intentionally. The Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace) advised us to divert our gaze if we see something impermissible and stated that we are not accountable for that first (unintentional) glance. Still, we are accountable if we look again.
Thus, unintentional glances and seeing something in our peripheral vision are excused, and everything goes back to one’s intention. For this reason, one should not be overwhelmed with their surroundings, as they are only accountable for looking, not merely seeing.
🚫 A Great Danger 🚫
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ al-Fawzān Hafiẓahullāh mentioned the story of a man who read Bukhārī on his own and he came across the Ḥadeeth:
الحبة السوداء شفاء من كل داء
'Blackseed has cure for every illness.'
However he read الحبة السوداء (blackseed) as الحية السوداء (black snake), thus he went, bought a black snake, slaughtered it, ate it and afterwards died from its poisoning, so had he asked the scholars he would've saved himself,
Hence merely studying without returning to Ahlul-'Ilm (for its understanding) is a great danger so look to how many pretenders of knowledge have killed themselves (due to self-amazement).

A camel COMPLAINT of MISTREATMENT by its owner.
Imam Ahmad relates that Abdullah Ibn
Ja’afar (R.A.) said: One day the Prophet (ﷺ) asked me to follow him. Whenever he wanted to relieve himself, he preferred either a
hilly area or a garden of date palms. One day, he entered a shelter among the shelters of the Helpers, then all of a sudden, a camel came
towards him, made a rumbling voice and shed
tears. When the Prophet (ﷺ) saw this, he caressed the back of its head and comforted it. In turn, it stopped crying.
He then said, “Who is its owner?”
A young man from the Helpers said: It is mine O Messenger of Allah.
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do you not
fear Allah as pertains to this animal that He has placed under your ownership?” It complained that you neglect feeding it and mistreat it.55
A camel TELLS the Prophet (ﷺ) that the
OWNER wants to SLAUGHTER it

nature; he ordered two small date palm to cover him, thereafter, he ordered them to go back to their original positions. Then a camel came towards the Prophet (ﷺ), and put its neck to the earth then made a rumbling sound.
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do you know what the camel says? It claims that the owner wants to slaughter it”. Then he sent for its owner. He (ﷺ) said to him, “Will you grant it to me as a present?”
He said: There is nothing in my ownership more preferable to me than it. He (ﷺ) then said to him, “I advice you to be kind and
cautious”....56

Atā’a ibn Yasār reported the Messenger of Allāh صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:
“When the servant [of Allāh] becomes sick, Allāh, Allāh appoints two angels to him. They look at what he says to those who visit him. If he praises Allāh and extols Him; when they come to visit him, the Angels raise it up to Allāh and Allāh knows best. Allāh says: ‘If I take my servants life, I will admit him into Paradise. If I cure him, I will replace his flesh with better flesh and his blood with better blood and I will expiate his evil deeds.’”

Do Not Grieve Over The Past
Shaykh AbduRahmaan As-Sa'adi [رحمه الله] said:
❝Do not grieve over past matters which have not been destined, from ill health, or loss of wealth or a worldly matter, etc.
Your concern should be with rectification of actions on the day.
Since a person is living in the moment. He should not be saddened for what has passed. Also he should not research into the future where that research would not be of any benefit.
It is upon you to be truthful, fulfill your contracts, keep to one's promises and justice in all dealings.
Fulfilling rights completely and perfectly with a tranquil soul and with truthful pure Eemaan.
Busy yourself with your own mistakes and your matters, rather than the mistakes of the people and their matters.
Deal with everyone according to their situation and condition, whether he is a senior, or youngster, male or female, a leader or a follower.
Be gentle and merciful to everyone even animals and livestock, since indeed Allaah is merciful to his merciful worshippers.
Be balanced in all your matters, and open up your mind to every religious and worldly benefit.❞

If you have time after the sunrise up until before Dhuhr, pray this
Abu Dharr narrated that the Messenger of Allāh said:
“In the morning charity is due from every joint of your body. Every tasbeeh (saying glory be to Allāh) is charity. Every tahmeed (saying all praise is due to Allāh) is charity. Every tahleelah (saying none has the right to be worshipped except Allāh) is charity. Every takbeerah (saying Allāh is the Greatest) is charity. Enjoining the good is charity. Forbidding the evil is charity; and performing
two rak’āt of Duha suffices all of this."
Muslim 720
Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymin defined it as being from a quarter of an hour after the sun has risen until ten minutes before Zhur prayer. (Al-Sharh al-Mumti’, 4/122)
وقدّره الشيخ ابن عثيمين بأنه بعد شروق الشمس بربع ساعة إلى قبيل صلاة الظهر بعشر دقائق. (الشرح الممتع 4 / 122

The Salaf on speaking negatively about a Muslim
Sufyan bin Hussain said: I mentioned a (muslim) man negatively in the presence of Iyas bin Muawiyah (Taabi'i, Judge of Basra), so he looked me in the face & said: "Did you join the fight against the Romans?" I said: No, then he said: "the Sindhis, Indians & Turks (mongols)?" I said no.
He replied: "the Sindhis, Indians & Turks are safe from you but your Muslim brother is not safe from you?!" After that moment, I never did that again.
