MORNING-EVENING WAZAIF
Every believer seeks protection, forgiveness, and firmness in Tawheed. The early morning and evening are spiritually crucial times, moments when the heart is most receptive and the soul is most vulnerable.
“And remember your Lord inwardly with humility and fear and in a moderate tone of voice in the mornings and evenings…”
[Surah Al-Araf 7:205]
The Prophet (saw) also emphasized consistent morning and evening remembrance.
[Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi]
This routine is a structured spiritual discipline, based on the Qur'an and authentic supplications, to strengthen Tawheed, purify the nafs, and seek the protection from Allah.
