The morning and evening adhkar
Both lists together: what is said morning and evening, and what belongs to each moment.
The morning and evening adhkar are largely the same: Ayat al-Kursi, the last three surahs, sayyid al-istighfar, “Subhan Allah wa bi-hamdih”. A few formulas change with the moment. This page brings both lists together, marks each dhikr “morning”, “evening” or both, and keeps a counter.

Ayat al-Kursi (the Throne Verse)Morning and evening
-
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ 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 ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
allāhu lā 'ilāha 'illā huwa l-ḥayyu l-qayyūm | lā ta'khudhuhū sinatuw walā nawm | lahū mā fi s-samāwāti wamā fi l-arḍ | man dha lladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahū 'illā bi'idhnih | yaʿlamu mā bayna 'aydīhim wamā khalfahum | walā yuḥīṭūna bishay'im min ʿilmihī 'illā bimā shā' | wasiʿa kursiyyuhu s-samāwāti wal-arḍ | walā ya'ūduhū ḥifẓuhumā | wahuwa l-ʿaliyyu l-ʿaẓīm
Allāh - 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 [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Your adhkar are done. May Allah accept them.
Why morning and evening
The Quran asks us to glorify Allah “morning and evening”: both verses are given above, with audio.
For a single session, this page is enough; to follow one moment, the morning and evening pages keep their own order.
The Prophet ﷺ compared the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not to the living and the dead.
Frequently asked questions
Are the morning and evening adhkar the same?
Largely. The formulas that name the moment change “we have reached the morning” to “we have reached the evening”. Each dhikr is marked on this page.
How long do they take?
About ten minutes for the full list, said quietly. The counter and continuous reading help you skip nothing.
Can they be said in a group?
Each person says them for themselves, quietly. Learning them together, as a family, helps you remember them.
