Recitation of Ad-Dhuha in murattal

The chapter begins with oaths. It is often coupled with sura al-Inshirah, sometimes without the basmala between them.

It should be taken into consideration that according to many narrations, it is said that surah Ad -Dhuha and surah Al-Inshirah are one surah and should be recited in prayers (salah) together. One can also see the close relation between the subject matter of both the surahs.[1]

Summary edit
