Azkar (أذكار) are short phrases or supplications that a Muslim recites to remember Allah throughout the day.
They are derived from the Qur’an and Sunnah, and serve as a spiritual shield, a reminder of Allah’s presence, and a means of seeking His mercy and protection.
Daily Azkar are usually divided into Morning (أذكار الصباح) and Evening (أذكار المساء) supplications.
Here’s a structured collection of Daily Azkar for Morning and Evening based on authentic sources from the Qur’an and Sunnah including the Arabic, transliteration, and meanings in English for clarity.
These are easy to memorize and recite.

Tips for Daily Practice
Recite morning Azkar after Fajr and evening Azkar after Asr or Maghrib.
Try to memorize gradually, starting with Ayat al-Kursi and the short supplications.
Consistency matters more than quantity; even a few minutes daily has great spiritual benefit.
