Morning and evening athkar: a daily habit
The morning and evening adhkar take about ten minutes each. They are a shield for the day and the night and one of the most powerful daily habits a Muslim can have.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ ٱذۡكُرُواْ ٱللَّهَ ذِكۡرٗا كَثِيرٗا ﴿٤١﴾ وَسَبِّحُوهُ بُكۡرَةٗ وَأَصِيلًا ﴿٤٢﴾
Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo othkuroo Allaha thikran katheeran Wasabbihoohu bukratan waaseelan
O you who have believed, remember Allah with much remembrance And exalt Him morning and afternoon
Quran 33:41-42 · Surah Al-Ahzab
When to say them
- Morning: after Fajr until sunrise, or until Dhuhr at the latest according to many scholars.
- Evening: after Asr until Maghrib, or into the night according to many scholars.
Some of the virtues
Whoever says in the morning and evening: Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru maa ismihi shayun fil-ardi wa la fis-sama, wa huwas-samiul-alim, three times, nothing will harm him.
Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhi
Whoever says SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi a hundred times in the morning and evening, no one will come on the Day of Resurrection with anything better, except someone who said the same or more.
Sahih Muslim
