The morning and evening adhkars are a set of duas that have been prescribed by the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alayhi WaSalam for us to read on a daily basis.

These adhkars hold many benefits and there are many references to them in the Quran and Sunnah. Ibn Al Qayyim Rahimahullah said ‘The morning and evening adhkār play the role of a shield; the thicker it is, the more its owner is protected. Rather, its strength can reach to such an extent that the arrow shot at it will bounce back to affect the one who shot it.’ Ibn Kathir Rahimahullah also spoke on the morning and evening adhkar , saying ‘Wear the ‘coat’ of adhkār so it can protect you from the evil of humans and jinn. And cover your souls with istighfār (seeking forgiveness) so it can erase the sins of the night and day.

The morning adhkar should be read between fajr and sunrise , and the evening adhkar should be read between asr and sunset. However if one is unable to read them between these times eg they fell asleep after Fajr , then they can be made up when they awake.

Anas (RA) said that he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say:

That I sit with people remembering Almighty Allah from the morning (Fajr) prayer until sunrise is more beloved to me than freeing four slaves from among the Children of Isma’il. That I sit with people remembering Allah from the afternoon (‘Asr) prayer until the sun sets is more beloved to me than freeing four slaves from among the Children of Isma’il.

This was reported by Abu Dawud (no. 3667). Al-Albani graded it good in SahihAbu Dawud 2/698

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan the outcast. – Allah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said:

Whoever says this when he rises in the morning will be protected from jinns until he retires in the evening, and whoever says it when retiring in the evening will be protected from them until he rises in the morning.
