Remembrance that settles the heart

Short, authentic adhkar with their source and grade. Numbers appear only where an authentic narration states them. No streaks, no guilt — one sincere word counts.

ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ﴿٢٨﴾

“Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allāh. Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allāh hearts are assured.”

Morning & evening

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

Subhan Allahi wa bihamdih

Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him.

Sahih Muslim 2692 ×100
أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ

Amsayna wa amsal-mulku lillah, wal-hamdu lillah, la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah

We have entered the evening and the dominion belongs to Allah; praise be to Allah; none has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, without partner. (In the morning: “asbahna wa asbahal-mulku lillah”.)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'as-mihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa huwas-sami'ul-'alim

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

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

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 bi-ni'matika 'alayya, wa abu'u laka bi-dhanbi faghfir li, fa-innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa ant

Sayyid al-istighfar, the best way to seek forgiveness: O Allah, You are my Lord; none has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I keep Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, without partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. Said 100 times in a day.

After prayer

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ · اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

Astaghfirullah (×3) · Allahumma antas-salam wa minkas-salam, tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wal-ikram

I seek Allah's forgiveness (three times). O Allah, You are Peace and from You is peace; blessed are You, Owner of majesty and honour.

Sahih Muslim 591 ×3
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ٣٣ · الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٣٣ · اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ٣٣ · لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ١

Subhan Allah (33) · Alhamdulillah (33) · Allahu akbar (33), then once: la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir — 100 in total

Glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, Allah is the Greatest — 33 each, then the tahlil to make 100.

Sahih Muslim 597a 33 + 33 + 33 + 1 = 100
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. Allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayt, wa la mu'tiya lima mana't, wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd

None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, without partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah, none can withhold what You give, nor give what You withhold, and the wealth of the wealthy cannot avail them against You.

Before sleep

بِاسْمِكَ رَبِّ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي، وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُهُ، إِنْ أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَارْحَمْهَا، وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ

Bismika rabbi wada'tu janbi, wa bika arfa'uh, in amsakta nafsi farhamha, wa in arsaltaha fahfazha bima tahfazu bihi 'ibadakas-salihin

In Your name, my Lord, I lay down my side, and by You I raise it. If You take my soul, have mercy on it; and if You send it back, protect it as You protect Your righteous servants.

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ · قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ · قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ

Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas — blow into cupped hands and wipe over the body

Recite the three surahs into cupped hands and wipe over the body — three times.

Sahih al-Bukhari 5017 ×3
آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ (البقرة ٢٥٥)

Ayat al-Kursi (2:255)

Recite Ayat al-Kursi when going to bed.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ٣٣ · الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٣٣ · اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ٣٤

Subhan Allah 33 · Alhamdulillah 33 · Allahu akbar 34

Taught to Fatimah as better than a servant.

Sahih al-Bukhari 5362 33 + 33 + 34 = 100
اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ

Allahumma aslamtu wajhi ilayk, wa fawwadtu amri ilayk, wa alja'tu zahri ilayk, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayk, la malja'a wa la manja minka illa ilayk. Amantu bi-kitabikal-ladhi anzalt, wa bi-nabiyyikal-ladhi arsalt

Make wudu, lie on your right side and say, as your last words before sleep: O Allah, I submit myself to You, entrust my affairs to You and rely on You, in hope and in awe of You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You revealed and in Your Prophet whom You sent.

Ayat al-Kursi after each prayer and in morning/evening adhkar is reported in narrations outside the Sahihayn; we list it under sleep (Bukhari 2311) and leave the rest for scholar review. needs scholar review

Distress & worry

La ilaha illallahul-'azimul-halim, la ilaha illallahu rabbul-'arshil-'azim, la ilaha illallahu rabbus-samawati wa rabbul-ardi wa rabbul-'arshil-karim

The du'a of distress.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal-hazan, wal-'ajzi wal-kasal, wal-jubni wal-bukhl, wa dala'id-dayni wa ghalabatir-rijal

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, helplessness and laziness, cowardice and miserliness, heavy debt and being overpowered by men.
