al-Ḍuḥā (Arabic: الضحى‎, “The Morning Hours”, “Morning Bright”) is the ninety-third chapter (surah) of the Qur'an with 11 verses (āyat) . Qur'an 93 takes its name from Arabic al-ḍuḥā "the morning", the very first word. The image of the morning (al-ḍuḥā) is the first word of the sura, and can be understood as symbolizing Muhammad's "new day" as the Messenger of God, as well as the "dawn" of the new way of life that would become Islam. After this sura, the visitations of Gabriel with the words of the Qur'an would come to Muhammad regularly until his death.
