Adhkar counter
Count the adhkar with the Arabic, the narrated number and the hadith on the page. Pick a phrase from the menu at the top of the counter.
Adhkar, azkar, dhikr, zikr
One Arabic word and its plural, written several ways in English. Dhikr and zikr are the same word (ذِكْر). Adhkar and azkar are its plural. Which spelling you meet depends on whether the transliteration came through Arabic or through Persian and Urdu.
None of them is more correct than another. If you searched for one and landed on a page using the other, you're in the right place.
The phrases in this counter that carry counts
Each of these is in the app with its Arabic, its meaning and the narration it comes from.
- Tahlil (closing)1 · Sahih al-Bukhari 844
- SubhanAllahi wa bihamdihi100 · Sahih al-Bukhari 6405
- Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal-wakeelno set count · Qur'an 3:173 · Sahih al-Bukhari 4563
What isn't here yet, and why
The complete morning and evening programs aren't shipped. Several of their parts are Quranic, and Quranic text on this site has to come from a verified source rather than from memory. Until that pipeline exists, those parts stay out rather than going in from recall.
The methodology page says exactly where that stands, including which rules are shipped mechanisms and which are still intentions.
Two counts that get attached to the wrong phrase
Sayyid al-Istighfar is said once, morning and evening, from Sahih al-Bukhari 6306. You'll often see it with 70 or 100 attached. Those numbers belong to the short Astaghfirullah and travel to Sayyid al-Istighfar by mistake.
Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa huwa at 7 times, morning and evening, is disputed. It isn't shipped here as a preset with a count, because shipping a contested narration with a confident number is how it stops being contested.
Common questions
- What is the difference between adhkar and dhikr?
- Dhikr is the singular, one remembrance of Allah. Adhkar is its plural, the set of them. Azkar is the same word in a Persian and Urdu influenced spelling. They name the same thing.
- What are the morning and evening adhkar?
- A set of remembrances said after Fajr and after Asr or Maghrib. Several carry their own narrated counts, like SubhanAllahi wa bihamdih 100 times in Sahih Muslim 2692 and the tahlil 100 times in Sahih al-Bukhari 6403.
- Does this counter have the full morning and evening set?
- Not yet. The phrases from those sets that carry counts are in the app with their sources. The complete programs, including the Quranic parts, are still being built, and this page says which is which rather than implying the set is finished.
- How many times is Sayyid al-Istighfar said?
- Once, morning and evening, from Sahih al-Bukhari 6306. There is no authentic narration giving it 70 or 100 times. Those numbers belong to the short Astaghfirullah and get attached to Sayyid al-Istighfar by mistake.
- Is the 7-times Hasbiyallahu narration authentic?
- It's disputed. The site records it as disputed rather than shipping it as a preset with a count attached, because that's the practice that turns a contested narration into a settled one.
