Start and end your day with dhikr.

What are the morning and evening adhkar?

The morning and evening adhkar are a collection of remembrances and supplications the Prophet ﷺ taught his companions to say at the two edges of the day. They are a shield and a comfort: a way to place the day in Allah's care as it begins, and to close it in gratitude and protection as it ends.

They are widely said to include:

• Ayat al-Kursi, the Verse of the Throne (Qur'an 2:255), for protection.
• The last three surahs, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas, which many recite three times each.
• Sayyid al-Istighfar, the master supplication for seeking forgiveness.
• Short phrases of praise and reliance, such as سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ, repeated a set number of times.

Collections vary slightly between compilations. DhikrLock presents a reliable, sourced set in one place, so you do not have to assemble them yourself.

When should you say them?

The timing follows the sun and the prayers. The morning adhkar are commonly said after Fajr until sunrise, and the evening adhkar after Asr until Maghrib, or shortly after. Because the window moves with your location and the season, an app that knows your local prayer times makes them far easier to keep than a fixed alarm ever could.

أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ
Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest. (Qur'an 13:28)

How DhikrLock guides them

Open the adhkar and read straight through, phrase by phrase, with the Arabic set in a proper Uthmanic script, the transliteration, and the meaning. DhikrLock keeps count of the repetitions for you, so you never lose your place, and it aligns the morning and evening sets to your local prayer times, calculated on your device without a location permission. Your remembrance simply arrives at the right time of day.

Alongside the adhkar you will find the Prophetic duas and the 99 Names of Allah in the same clean reader, and a tasbih counter for whenever you want to add more.

Adhkar, plus the discipline to keep them

Knowing the adhkar was never the hard part. Keeping them is. That is where the rest of DhikrLock comes in: the same app that guides your morning and evening remembrance also shields your distracting apps behind a short dhikr, so remembrance is woven through the whole day, not just its edges.
