Dhikr & Du'a · The daily wird

The remembrances that open your day

The time is from dawn (after Fajr) until sunrise, and if you miss it, the scholars allow you to make it up until around midday. Evening adhkar run from after Asr until sunset, with a little room after. The two sets are almost identical: in the morning you say asbahna (we have entered the morning), in the evening amsayna (we have entered the evening).

You do not have to do all of it from day one. If today feels heavy, take three: Ayat al-Kursi, the three Quls, and Sayyid al-Istighfar. The Prophet ﷺ loved the deed that is small and constant over the large one that burns out. Build from there.

Where a dhikr has a number beside it, that is how many times to say it. The reward is tied to the Arabic words themselves, so recite the Arabic (lean on the transliteration while you learn), and read the meaning so your heart is in the room with your tongue.

   Ayat al-Kursi

   1xListen

   ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

   Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Sustaining. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

   Qur'anAl-Baqarah 2:255

   The greatest verse in the Qur'an. The Prophet ﷺ taught that whoever recites it in the morning is guarded until evening, and whoever recites it in the evening is guarded until morning. Say it once, slowly, and let it land.

   قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ۝ ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ ۝ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ۝ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ ۝ مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ ۝ وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ ۝ مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ ۝ إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ ۝ مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ ۝ ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ ۝ مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ

   Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent." / Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak From the evil of that which He created And from the evil of darkness when it settles And from the evil of the blowers in knots And from the evil of an envier when he envies." / Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, The Sovereign of mankind, The God of mankind, From the evil of the retreating whisperer - Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind - From among the jinn and mankind."

   Qur'anAl-Ikhlas 112, Al-Falaq 113, An-Nas 114

   Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas, three times each. The Prophet ﷺ said they suffice you against everything. He would cup his hands, recite them with a breath into his palms, and wipe over his body.

To Allah belongs the dominion, and to Him is the praise and He is Able to do all things. My Lord, I ask You for the goodness of this day and of the days that come after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and of the days that come after it.

   The Prophet ﷺ called this the chief way of seeking forgiveness: whoever says it by day with certainty and dies before evening is among the people of Paradise, and likewise by night. Slow down for this one.

    hasanAt-Tabarani; jayyid (al-Albani, Sahih at-Targhib 1/273)

    Ten times in the morning and ten in the evening. Whoever sends blessings on the Prophet ﷺ this way will be reached by his intercession on the Day of Resurrection.

The Qur'anic adhkar (Ayat al-Kursi, Al-Baqarah 2:255; and the three Quls, Al-Ikhlas 112, Al-Falaq 113, An-Nas 114) are grounded via quran.ai: Arabic in Uthmani script (ar-uthmani-minimal) and the Saheeh International translation. The prophetic adhkar, their transliterations, references and gradings are transcribed verbatim from Hisn al-Muslim (Fortress of the Muslim) by Sa'eed bin Ali al-Qahtani, as hosted on sunnah.com; gradings are as reported there (al-Bukhari and Muslim taken as sahih). The selection and ordering follow the classic morning-adhkar arrangement, with thanks to lifewithallah.com whose dhikr and du'a library prompted this collection. Recitation audio: the Qur'anic items are recited by Mishary Rashid Alafasy (everyayah.com); the prophetic adhkar use the official Hisn al-Muslim audio (hisnmuslim.com), aligned to each dua by its Hisn al-Muslim number. Reflections and framing are Buruja's own. FOR SCHOLAR REVIEW: please confirm every Arabic text, reference, repetition count and grading before publication.
