Surah ad-Dhuha (TheBrightness)

This Surah was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) at a time when he had not received any revelation for six months, not even in the form of a dream! The Prophet (saw) was in a very disturbed state of mind, feeling negative and depressed and believing that Allah was displeased with him, had forgotten him, and did not want him as a Nabi anymore.

Surah Ad-Dhuha was revealed to the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) to relieve him of these negative feelings and to give him hope, positivity, and the assurance that Allah is with him no matter what. From it we too can find peace, hope, and a renewed faith in Allah when we go through similar states of depression, sadness, and hopelessness.

This Surah was revealed in Makkah and has 11 verses. It is narrated from the holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) that ALLAH is pleased with person who recites this Surah.

If recited together with name of a person who has gone missing, he will return home safe and sound. If something is forgotten somewhere by mistake, the recitation of this Surah keeps its safe until you get it back.
