Duha prayer, also referred to as Salāt al-Awwābeen, is prayed like most other voluntary prayers in that you pray two units and you end the prayer with the tasleem to the right and left.
“The voluntary prayers of the day and night are to be offered two by two.” [tirmidhi 597]
It is offered 15 minutes after sunrise (6:45am) and 15 minutes before Dhuhr (12:45pm)
“In the morning, every single joint of yours must pay a sadaqah (charity).
Every SubhanAllah is a sadaqah,
every Alhamdulillāh is a sadaqah,
every La Ilaha Illa Allah is a sadaqah, every Allahu Akbar is a sadaqah,
every commanding good is a sadaqah...
...and every forbidding evil is a sadaqah,
and all this is accomplished through two rakʿahs one can pray in Duha [prayer].
[Muslim 720]
“None is diligent in establishing Duha prayer except one who is oft-repentant (awwāb), and it is the prayer of the oft-repentant.”
[Sahih at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb (1/164)
Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه reported:
My beloved (the Prophet ﷺ) advised me to do three things, which I will never abandon so long as I live:
• to fast three days of each month,
• to pray two rakʿahs of Duha prayer
• and not to sleep until I pray Witr
[bukhari 1981]
“Whoever prays the Fajr prayer then sits in his place of prayer remembering Allah until sunrise, then prays two rakʿahs, shall be rewarded as if he had performed Hajj and ʿUmrah, with a reward that is complete, complete, complete”
[tirmidhi 586]
“Whoever regularly prays the two rakʿahs of Duha, his sins are forgiven even if they are like [the vastness of] the foam of the sea.”
[tirmidhi 476]
And he who goes out for the Duha prayer, and takes the trouble solely for this purpose, will have the reward like that of a person who performs ʿUmrah.
[abu Dawud 558]
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Allah the Exalted says: ‘O Son of Adam, do not be heedless of praying 4 rakʿahs for Me in the beginning of your day and (as a result) I shall be your sufficiency at its end.’”
[abu Dawud 1289]
It is offered from between these timings*

Say: ‘O ‘Ibaadi (My slaves) who have transgressed against themselves (by committing evil deeds and sins)!
Despair not of the Mercy of Allaah, verily, Allaah forgives all sins. Truly, He is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful’”
[Zumar 39:53]
Seek forgiveness:
If a person commits a sin, then says, ‘O Lord, I have committed a sin so forgive me,’ He says, ‘My slave knows that he has a Lord Who may forgive sins or punish for it; I have forgiven My slave…
