    About Surah Ad-Duhaa

    Ad-Duha, the Morning Brightness, was revealed to comfort the Prophet (peace be upon him) during a pause in revelation, reassuring him that his Lord had not abandoned him. It reminds him of the favors he received as an orphan and a seeker, and calls him to be kind to the orphan and the one who asks, and to speak of his Lord's blessings.
