Morning and evening adhkar

الأذكار · remembrance said at the start and close of the day, drawn from authentic hadith.

The adhkar are short phrases of remembrance the Prophet ﷺ taught his companions to say each morning and each evening. They are not a substitute for prayer — they sit around it, framing the day with gratitude, protection and seeking forgiveness. Every word below is given in Arabic, in transliteration for those still learning the script, and in English, with the hadith collection it comes from.

The morning set is said after Fajr until sunrise; the evening set after Asr until Maghrib. If you miss the window, say them when you can — the habit matters more than the clock.
