Every Muslim seeks the pleasure and protection of Allah ﷻ in their daily life. From the moment we wake up in the morning until we go to bed at night, our hearts should remain connected to Allah. One of the most beautiful ways to achieve this is through daily Duas (supplications).
Morning and evening Duas are special because they serve as a shield of protection, bring inner peace, and remind us of our dependence on Allah. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us many short and powerful supplications that are easy to memorize and recite every day.
In this article, we will go through the most authentic Islamic morning and evening Duas from Qur’an and Sunnah. We will also explain their meanings, benefits, and provide tips to memorize them easily.
Importance of Morning and Evening Duas
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encouraged Muslims to recite daily Adhkar (remembrances) in the morning and evening. These supplications protect a believer from harm, strengthen faith, and bring blessings throughout the day.
Quranic Evidence
Allah ﷻ says in the Qur’an:
“And remember your Lord within yourself in humility and fear without being apparent in speech – in the mornings and the evenings.”
(Surah Al-A‘raf 7:205)
This verse shows the importance of remembering Allah during these blessed times.
Hadith Evidence
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, it will suffice him.”
(Sahih Bukhari, Muslim)
He ﷺ also advised his companions to regularly recite specific Adhkar in the mornings and evenings.
Benefits of Morning and Evening Duas

- Increase in Barakah – A day that begins with the remembrance of Allah is filled with blessings.
