About this video

The Qur'an asks us to remember Allah at the two edges of the day. This video gathers the authentic core of the morning and evening adhkar — the master of seeking forgiveness, the Prophet's ﷺ own evening du'a, 'by You we enter the morning', the du'a for well-being he never left, the three-times Bismillah, refuge in the perfect words of Allah, the three Quls and a hundred tasbih — each traced from Mishkat al-Masabih, Riyad as-Salihin, al-Adab al-Mufrad and Bulugh al-Maram back to its original collection, with its grade stated plainly. It also explains, calmly, which popular wordings and promises are not established, and suggests a small core to begin with tomorrow. Explanations are drawn, with attribution, from Ibn Kathir and Ibn Hajar.
