Morning and evening adhkar: the daily set, the counts, and a tap counter

The morning and evening adhkar are a fixed set of remembrances from the Quran and the Sunnah. The core set is short enough to name: Ayat al-Kursi once, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas three times each, the master supplication for forgiveness once, the protection supplication three times, the contentment supplication three times, and two dhikrs at 100 repetitions each. The counts are the practice, and losing count during a 100 is the usual way the set falls apart.

The free Cubbbix Morning and Evening Adhkar page gives each dhikr a tap counter. Pick morning or evening and the opening supplication switches wording for you. Tap as you recite, watch the overall progress, and reset one item or the whole list. The page shows Arabic, transliteration and translation for every item, with the source named on each one. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.

When to recite them

Morning adhkar are best after Fajr until sunrise. Evening adhkar are best from Asr until sunset. Those windows are the ideal, not a deadline. Scholars allow reciting them later when remembered, through the morning or the night. A morning set recited at 10 am still counts as remembrance, and an evening set recited after Maghrib still counts. The habit survives because the window is wide, not because it is strict.

The adhkar are recommended acts, not obligations. Missing a day carries no sin, and the correct response to a missed day is to recite the next day, not to double up in guilt. The same applies to wudu: remembrance does not require wudu, unlike prayer, so the set can be recited while walking, working or commuting. That is why a phone counter helps more than a book on a shelf.

The counts and their sources

Ayat al-Kursi, Quran 2:255, is recited once. The three Quls are recited three times each, from the hadith of Abdullah ibn Khubayb, who was told they would suffice him against everything. The master supplication for forgiveness is recited once, from Sahih al-Bukhari. The protection supplication, beginning in the name of Allah, is recited three times, from Sunan Abi Dawud and Sunan al-Tirmidhi. The glorification and the declaration of oneness are recited 100 times each, from Sahih Muslim and Sahih al-Bukhari.

If 100 feels out of reach on a busy day, recite what you can and finish the set another day. A partial set recited with attention beats a full set rushed through while checking the clock. The counter on the page keeps the count honest either way, so you know exactly where you stopped.
