The '''Duha prayer (, ') is the voluntary Islamic prayer between the obligatory Islamic prayers of Fajr and Dhuhr.
The time for this prayer begins when the sun has risen to the height of a spear, which is fifteen or twenty minutes after sunrise until just before the sun passes its zenith (after which the time for the dhuhr prayer begins). When prayed at the beginning of its time it is called Ishraaq prayer. It is also known in Bengali as Chashter Namaz (চাশতের নামাজ) and in Urdu as Namāz-e-Chāsht (نماز چاشت).
