Conclusion: Suratud-Duha teaches trust in Allah, patience and hope in adversity, gratitude for His favours, and kindness to the orphan and the needy, values every Muslim should apply in daily life.

Outline the contributions of women to Hadith Literature.
Women played a major role in the preservation, transmission and development of Hadith literature from the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.) through later generations. They narrated the sayings, actions, approvals and personal practices of the Prophet, taught these reports to others and served as reliable links in the chains of transmission (isnad).
The most prominent female contributor was ‘A’ishah bint Abi Bakr, the wife of the Prophet (S.A.W.). She narrated over two thousand Hadith and was regarded as one of the leading authorities on the Sunnah. Her Hadith dealt with matters of worship, marriage, family life, medicine, inheritance, morals and the private conduct of the Prophet. Many Companions and later scholars consulted her whenever they were uncertain about a narration, and she corrected reports that she considered inaccurate.
Other wives of the Prophet, known as the Mothers of the Believers, also made important contributions. Umm Salamah, Hafsah bint ‘Umar, Maymunah, Zaynab bint Jahsh and others narrated Hadith concerning the Prophet’s domestic life, worship, fasting, pilgrimage and legal rulings. Since they lived closely with the Prophet, they preserved knowledge that was not easily available to other Companions.
Other female Companions, such as Asma’ bint Abi Bakr, Umm ‘Atiyyah, Umm Hani’, Fatimah bint Qays, Rubayyi‘ bint Mu‘awwidh and Fāṭimah, the daughter of the Prophet, also transmitted Hadith. Their narrations enriched Hadith literature in areas such as purification, menstruation, funeral rites, marriage, fasting, warfare, charity and women’s religious duties.
Women also contributed by teaching Hadith to men and women. ‘A’ishah taught many Companions and Successors, while women scholars in later centuries held Hadith classes, granted licences (ijazah) to students and transmitted famous Hadith collections. Their reliability and careful preservation of reports made them respected transmitters in the isnad of many authentic Hadith.
Thus, through narration, memorisation, teaching, verification and transmission, Muslim women made an indispensable contribution to Hadith literature and to the preservation of the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.).

Describe the conditions that must be satisfied before embarking on Hajj.
Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam and is obligatory once in a lifetime upon every Muslim who is able. Before a person embarks on it, certain conditions (shurut) must be satisfied. These fall into conditions of obligation and conditions of validity.
1. Islam. The pilgrim must be a Muslim. Hajj is an act of worship, and no act of worship is accepted from a non-believer.
2. Sanity (‘Aql). The person must be of sound mind. The insane is not held responsible in Shari‘ah until reason returns.
3. Maturity (Bulugh). The pilgrim should have attained the age of puberty. A child may perform Hajj, but it does not discharge the obligatory Hajj of adulthood.
4. Freedom (Hurriyyah). The person should be free, not a slave, since a slave is occupied with the service of his master.
5. Physical ability (health). The pilgrim must be physically strong enough to bear the rigours of the journey and the rites at Makkah, Mina, ‘Arafah and Muzdalifah.
6. Financial capability (Istita‘ah). He must possess lawful wealth sufficient for his transport, feeding and lodging to and from Makkah, over and above the maintenance of his dependants left behind, and free from debt.
7. Security of the route. The road to Makkah must be safe from war, banditry and disease, so that life and property are not endangered.
8. Provision and mount (Zad wa Rahilah). He must have provisions for the journey and a means of conveyance.
9. Mahram or safe company for a woman. A woman must travel with her husband or a mahram (a relative she cannot marry), or in trustworthy, safe company, so that her honour is protected.
10. The prescribed time. Hajj is performed only in the months of Shawwal, Dhul-Qa‘dah and the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah. It cannot be validly performed outside these months.
Allah says: "And Hajj to the House is a duty owed to Allah by mankind, for whoever is able to find a way to it" (Q3:97). When all these conditions are met, the Muslim is obliged to embark on Hajj without delay.
