Morning and evening adhkar
Adhkar are short remembrances of Allah, drawn from the Qur'an and the practice of the Prophet ﷺ, that a Muslim repeats at set moments through the day. The morning and evening adhkar are the two best-known collections — a calm, protective routine that takes only a few minutes. Here is what they are and when to say them.
When are the morning and evening adhkar?
The morning remembrance is generally said after Fajr, in the early part of the day; the evening remembrance in the later afternoon, around Asr and before Maghrib. The windows are broad rather than exact — the point is to anchor them to the start and close of your day so they become a habit, not a source of anxiety about the perfect minute.
The core remembrances to begin with
The collections are rich, but a few remembrances sit at their heart and are a good place to start:
- Ayat al-Kursi — the “Verse of the Throne” (Qur'an 2:255), recited morning and evening.
- The three Quls — Surah al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq, and an-Nas, commonly recited three times each, morning and evening.
- Sayyid al-Istighfar — the “chief” supplication for seeking forgiveness.
- The tasbih after every prayer — glorifying, praising, and magnifying Allah (commonly 33, 33, and 34 times) after each of the five prayers.
Remembrance through the whole day
Beyond the morning and evening sets, there are remembrances tied to other moments — after each prayer, before sleeping, and short phrases to repeat any time. Building them in gradually, a few at a time, is far more sustainable than trying to memorise everything at once.
Know exactly what to say, and when
My Amaal's Daily tab organises remembrance around your day — morning adhkar at Fajr, evening adhkar at Asr, the tasbih after each prayer, and remembrances before sleep — and highlights what to say right now. Each one comes with the Arabic, transliteration, translation, and its source, plus a built-in counter for the ones you repeat. You can also add your own favourite duas and Qur'an verses to the routine.
My Amaal is a personal worship companion, not a source of religious rulings. It surfaces referenced remembrances and points you back to scholars for anything beyond them.
