What are adhkar?
Adhkar (أذكار, singular dhikr) are words of remembrance of Allah: verses of the Qur'an, praises and supplications, many of them taught by the Prophet ﷺ for particular times of day. The morning and evening adhkar are among the most emphasised. Allah says: “And glorify Him morning and evening” (Qur'an 33:42).
When to recite the evening adhkar
Most scholars hold that the time for the evening adhkar begins after the ʿAsr prayer and lasts until sunset. Others extend it into the first part of the night, after Maghrib. If you miss the preferred time, reciting them later in the evening is still good.
The morning adhkar are said after Fajr, ideally before sunrise. Together the two frame the day.

Sources and authenticity
Each entry names the verse of the Qur'an or the hadith collection and number it comes from — for example Muslim 2723 or Abu Dawud 5082 — and carries a grading:
- Qur'an A passage of the Qur'an. Hadith grading does not apply; the cited hadith describes the practice of reciting it.
- Sahih Authentic: narrated through a reliable, connected chain.
- Hasan Good: acceptable and acted upon, with a slightly lesser degree of precision in its chain.
The site currently holds 53 adhkar across 5 collections, 16 of them for the evening. The English translations aim to be faithful and readable rather than literal.
Frequently asked questions
When should the evening adhkar be recited?
Most scholars hold that the time for the evening adhkar begins after the ʿAsr prayer and lasts until sunset. Others extend it into the first part of the night, after Maghrib. If you miss the preferred time, reciting them later in the evening is still good.
What is the difference between the morning and evening adhkar?
They are largely the same remembrances, said at the two ends of the day. A few wordings change — “we have entered the evening” (amsayna) instead of “we have entered the morning” (asbahna) — and a few supplications are specific to one time, such as seeking refuge in Allah's perfect words in the evening.
Do I have to recite them in Arabic?
The adhkar are best said in the Arabic the Prophet ﷺ used, which is why the Arabic is shown first. The transliteration helps with pronunciation while you learn, and the translation lets you understand what you are saying. Your own personal supplications can be made in any language.
How long do the evening adhkar take?
Around fifteen minutes at a calm pace. About half of that is the two dhikr repeated one hundred times; the rest takes only a few minutes.
How do I know these supplications are authentic?
Every entry lists its source — a verse of the Qur'an or the hadith collection and number it is narrated in — along with its grading. Any narration graded weak would be labelled as such.
