The Book of Duas for The Morning and The Evening

A person should strive to recite the morning dhikrs (words of remembrance and prayer) between dawn and sunrise, then if he misses that it will be acceptable if he recites them before the time of the forenoon (al-duha) ends, which is shortly before the time for Zuhr prayer. And he should recite the evening dhikrs between the time of 'Asr and Maghrib, then if he misses that it will be acceptable if he recites them before one-third of the night has passed. The evidence for this preference is the fact that the Qur'an urges us to remember Allaah in the early morning (bukoor) and in the late afternoon ('ashiy), which is the time between 'Asr and Maghrib.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: "Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

'and glorify the Praises of your Lord, before the rising of the sun and before (its) setting'

[Qaaf 50:39]

This is the interpretation of what is mentioned in the ahaadeeth, 'Whoever says such and such in the morning and in the evening'. What is meant by this is before the sun rises and before it sets. The time for that is between dawn and sunrise, and between 'Asr and Maghrib.

And Allaah says:

'and glorify the praises of your Lord in the 'Ashi (i.e. the time period after the mid-noon till sunset) and in the Ibkaar (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before mid-noon)'

[Ghaafir 40:55]

Ibkaar means the first part of the day, and 'ashiy means the latter part. So the time for these dhikrs is after Fajr and after 'Asr."

This is an excellent book where these adhkars are easily viewable in a large font. Every Muslim should have this book and read it every day. This is an excellent way to protect himself or herself and their family.
