Morning and evening remembrance of Allah’s protectionhadith
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَىْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
Transliteration

Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma‘asmihi shay’un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i wa Huwas-Sami‘ul-‘Alim.

English meaning

In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing in the earth or sky can cause harm; He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

Sayyid al-Istighfarhadith
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ
Transliteration

Allahumma anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa ant, khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduk, wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa‘dika mastata‘t. A‘udhu bika min sharri ma sana‘t. Abu’u laka bini‘matika ‘alayya wa abu’u laka bidhanbi, faghfir li, fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa ant.

English meaning

O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no deity except You. You created me and I am Your servant. I keep to Your covenant and promise as far as I can. I seek Your protection from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and my sin, so forgive me; none forgives sins except You.

General declaration of Allah’s onenesshadith
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهْوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Transliteration

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir.

English meaning

There is no god except Allah alone, with no partner. Dominion and praise belong to Him, and He has power over everything.

Read the occasion on each card

Sunan Abi Dawud 5088 specifies three recitations in morning and evening for its selected wording. Sahih al-Bukhari 6306 gives Sayyid al-Istighfar with day or night and conviction in its account.

The general remembrance from Bukhari 6403 has its own daily practice. Its inclusion here does not mean every selected text has identical morning and evening instructions.

Counts belong to their reports

Preserve a number when its narration supplies it; do not transfer that number to another card because the prayers appear together. A publisher’s convenient checklist is not, by itself, evidence of one compulsory sequence.

Reported virtues should be read with the wording and conditions of the source. This site does not turn them into a guarantee that a reader will never experience injury, loss or illness.

Building a manageable practice

Choose a small selection you can understand and recite accurately. Learn the distinction between waking, completing Fajr and remembering Allah in the morning or evening. They overlap in a day but are different reported occasions.

Ask a teacher about the relevant time window if you need precision. Travel, work and different seasons can make a clock-based assumption unreliable.

Common questions

Is this the complete morning and evening collection? It is a selected reference, not an exhaustive edition. Must every card be repeated three times? No; follow each source. Is one missed item proof of danger? The page makes no such claim. Can I save a smaller list? Yes as a personal learning choice, without presenting your list as the only established sequence.
