Sunrise and Dhuha — when are they?
Syuruk is sunrise (Fajr ends); Dhuha is the recommended forenoon prayer after the sun has risen. JAKIM lists both. Skip this if you only need the five obligatory times.
What is the difference between sunrise and Dhuha?
Syuruk is sunrise (Fajr ends); Dhuha is the recommended forenoon prayer after the sun has risen. JAKIM lists both. Skip this if you only need the five obligatory times.
What is syuruk on a JAKIM timetable?
Syuruk marks sunrise. Fajr ends at syuruk — do not pray Fajr after it. Disliked hours after sunrise until the sun has risen a little are a fiqh topic; for the clock, read your zone's column.
What is Dhuha?
Dhuha is a voluntary forenoon prayer. JAKIM lists Dhuha after syuruk — usually when the sun has risen about 20 minutes, per the zone timetable. It is not obligatory.
Should I pray Fajr or Dhuha if I missed Fajr?
If Fajr is missed until after sunrise, that is a qada question for an imam — not “pray Dhuha as a substitute for Fajr”. This site does not rule on qada.
