Daily Adhkar from the Quran and Sunnah
Which adhkar does a Muslim say every day?
The morning adhkar after Fajr, the evening adhkar after Asr, the adhkar after every obligatory prayer, the adhkar when lying down to sleep, and the adhkar on waking up. Alongside them are the unrestricted adhkar, such as tasbih, istighfar and sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, at any time.
What is the difference between unrestricted and restricted adhkar?
Restricted adhkar are tied to a time or situation, such as the morning and evening adhkar and those after prayer and at bedtime, so they are said at their time with the number reported. Unrestricted adhkar, such as tasbih, tahlil and istighfar, are said at any time with no set number.
What is the difference between tasbih, tahlil, tahmid and takbir?
Tasbih is saying “SubhanAllah” (Glory be to Allah), tahmid is “Alhamdulillah” (Praise be to Allah), tahlil is “La ilaha illallah” (There is no god but Allah), and takbir is “Allahu Akbar” (Allah is the Greatest). These four are al-baqiyat al-salihat (the enduring good deeds), and the Prophet ﷺ said: “The most beloved words to Allah are four” (Narrated by Muslim).
Are the morning and evening adhkar from the Quran or the Sunnah?
Some are verses of the Quran, such as Ayat al-Kursi, Surah Al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (Al-Falaq and An-Nas), and some are supplications and adhkar authentically reported from the Prophet ﷺ in the Sunnah. Every dhikr in Tasabeeh is listed with its source.
Morning Adhkar (Dhikr) Written in Full
What are the authentic morning adhkar from the Sunnah?
They include: Ayat al-Kursi once; Al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat three times; “Asbahna wa asbahal-mulku lillah” (We have entered the morning and the dominion belongs to Allah) (Narrated by Muslim); Sayyid al-Istighfar, the master supplication for forgiveness (Narrated by al-Bukhari); “Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'asmihi shay'” (In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing can cause harm) three times (Narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi); and “SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi” (Glory be to Allah and praise Him) one hundred times (Narrated by Muslim).
When is the time for the morning adhkar?
The best time is from dawn (Fajr) until sunrise, that is, after the Fajr prayer. Whoever misses them in this time says them afterwards in the mid-morning (Duha), and this is the view of many scholars.
When does the time for the morning and evening adhkar begin?
The time for the morning adhkar begins at dawn (Fajr), and the time for the evening adhkar begins after the Asr prayer. It is best to say the morning adhkar before sunrise and the evening adhkar before sunset.
How many times is Ayat al-Kursi recited in the morning?
Once in the morning and once in the evening. In the hadith: “Whoever says it in the evening is protected from us until morning, and whoever says it in the morning is protected from us until evening” (Narrated by al-Hakim and graded authentic by al-Albani).
Can I read the morning adhkar after sunrise?
Yes, whoever forgets them or is kept busy says them after sunrise and has the reward of the dhikr, in sha Allah, though it is more complete to say them at their time between Fajr and sunrise.
What is the virtue of the morning adhkar?
They bring protection and great reward established in authentic hadiths, including: whoever says “SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi” one hundred times in the morning and in the evening, no one will come on the Day of Resurrection with anything better than what he brings, except one who said the same or more (Narrated by Muslim); and the Mu'awwidhat recited three times suffice you against everything (Narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi).
Evening Adhkar (Dhikr) Written in Full
What are the full evening adhkar with their evidence?
Ayat al-Kursi once; Al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat three times; “Amsayna wa amsal-mulku lillah” (We have entered the evening and the dominion belongs to Allah) (Narrated by Muslim); Sayyid al-Istighfar (Narrated by al-Bukhari); “A'udhu bi kalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq” (I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created) three times (Narrated by Muslim); “Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'asmihi shay'” (In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing can cause harm) three times; and “SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi” (Glory be to Allah and praise Him) one hundred times (Narrated by Muslim).
When is the time for the evening adhkar?
The best time is after the Asr prayer until sunset. Whoever cannot manage that says them after Maghrib at the start of the night, and this is the view of many scholars.
Are the evening adhkar said after Asr or after Maghrib?
It is best after Asr and before sunset, and it is permissible to say them after Maghrib for whoever missed them, as there is latitude in this matter.
What is the difference between the morning and evening adhkar?
Most of them are the same; the difference is in the wording specific to the time: in the morning you say “Asbahna” (We have entered the morning) and in the evening “Amsayna” (We have entered the evening), and the evening is distinguished by saying “A'udhu bi kalimatillahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq” three times.
Online Tasbeeh (Tasbih) Counter
How many times should I say SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi?
One hundred times in the morning and one hundred in the evening (Narrated by Muslim). In another hadith: “Whoever says SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi one hundred times a day, his sins are wiped away even if they are like the foam of the sea” (Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim).
What is the tasbih of Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her, and what is its count?
SubhanAllah 33, Alhamdulillah 33 and Allahu Akbar 34 times at bedtime. The Prophet ﷺ taught it to Fatimah, may Allah be pleased with her (Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim).
What is the virtue of saying istighfar one hundred times?
The Prophet ﷺ said: “O people, repent to Allah, for I repent to Him one hundred times a day” (Narrated by Muslim). Istighfar is a means of having sins forgiven and worries relieved.
Is it permissible to make tasbih with a digital tasbih counter?
Counting is a means of keeping track of dhikr. It is best to count on the fingertips, as the Prophet ﷺ said: “Count on your fingertips, for they will be questioned and made to speak” (Narrated by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi). Using prayer beads or a digital counter to keep count is permissible according to many scholars.
Does the digital tasbih work offline?
Yes, after you open Tasabeeh once, the tasbih counter works offline and your count is saved on your device.

How do I set a daily Quran portion (wird)?
Choose a fixed amount you can keep up, even if small, such as two pages or one juz', and tie it to a set time such as after Fajr, for the deeds most beloved to Allah are the most consistent, even if few (Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim).
Which narration of the Mushaf does Tasabeeh use?
The Madinah Mushaf published by the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran, in the narration of Hafs from Asim.
