Morning and evening adhkar are a set of supplications taught by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) to be recited at the start and end of each day. They include words of remembrance, praise of Allah, and prayers for protection from harm. These adhkar act as a spiritual shield, safeguarding your heart, mind, and body from both seen and unseen dangers while keeping your connection to Allah strong.
These supplications take only a few minutes but can transform your day. You can recite them after Fajr and Asr (or Maghrib) prayers, or any time in the morning and evening before the sun sets. Whether you’re commuting, preparing breakfast, or winding down for the night, you can keep a small booklet, an app, or even memorize the key adhkar to make sure you don’t miss them.
Reciting these adhkar fills your heart with peace and your mind with clarity. Spiritually, you’re placing yourself under Allah’s protection. Mentally, you start and end the day with a positive focus, which lowers stress and anxiety. Just as physical exercise strengthens the body, consistent remembrance strengthens the soul against negativity and despair.
These supplications are like checking in with your Creator twice a day, acknowledging His greatness, seeking His help, and expressing your dependence on Him. This daily habit keeps your relationship with Allah alive and constant, making you more mindful of Him throughout the day and night.
Among the powerful supplications are those seeking refuge in Allah’s perfect words from all harm, asking for forgiveness, and remembering His oneness. Reciting them regularly brings a sense of safety and divine care, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) assured that whoever recites these with sincerity will be protected until the next period of remembrance.
