Daily supplications (adhkar)
Dhikr, the repeated remembrance of Allah, accompanies the Muslim at every moment of the day: on waking, before leaving, on returning home, in the morning, in the evening, before sleeping. These short phrases, handed down through the Prophetic tradition, need no preparation and no props: they can be recited while walking, waiting, or between two tasks. Here are a few of the best known, organised by time of day.
