Sholat syuruq or sholat isyraq for some Muslims is still not as popular as sholat dhuha, even though they are performed at almost the same time. This raises the question of whether sholat syuruq is the same as sholat dhuha?

Regarding this matter, several scholars have their own opinions regarding the similarity of sholat syuruq and sholat dhuha. According to Al-Ghazali, as cited by NU Online, sholat syuruq or isyraq is different from sholat dhuha, including its sunnah.

Meanwhile, Imam Hakim in the book Al-Mustadrak argues that sholat syuruq is the same as sholat dhuha based on another name for sholat syuruq, which is also another name for sholat dhuha. However, the difference between the two can be seen in the time of performance, where sholat syuruq can be performed at sunrise while sholat dhuha can be performed after sunrise until near the time of Dhuhr prayer.
