Evening Adhkar

Surah Al-Ikhlas

2 of 22

Say it 3 times

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

﴿قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ۝١ اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ ۝٢ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ۝٣ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ ۝٤﴾

Bismi Allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi. Qul huwa Allahu ahadun. Allahu alssamadu. Lam yalid walam yooladu. Walam yakun lahu kufuwan ahadun.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say, He is Allah, [who is] One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born. Nor is there to Him any equivalent.

Its virtue

The Prophet ﷺ said: recite al-Ikhlas, al-Falaq and an-Nas three times in the evening and the morning, and they will suffice you against everything.
