FAQs
What is the difference between dua and Azkar?
Azkar is news of what befits the majesty of God, exalting it, and praise is like Praise God, Thanks God, God is great, but supplication is a request from God, such as, O God, forgive me and have mercy on me and bless me.
When should I read azkar?
It is desirable to recite the morning azkar after the Fajr prayer (the morning prayer) until before sunrise, and whoever is unable to recite the remembrances at the specified time may perform them after that if it is in the morning time. The evening azkar is desirable to be performed after the afternoon, or after the sunset, and if it comes, or after dinner, then it is permissible.
