اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ
Allahu la ilaha illa huwa al-Hayyul-Qayyum
Allah — there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:255).
Virtue: Whoever recites it in the morning is protected until evening, and in the evening until morning. It is the greatest verse of the Quran.
Source: Quran 2:255
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
Subhanallahi wa bihamdih
Glory is to Allah and praise is to Him.

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 6405
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir
There is no deity but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things.

Remembrance is an act of both heart and tongue. This collection gathers what is established in the two Sahihs, the Sunan and Hisn al-Muslim, with vowelled Arabic, translation and a short meaning.
Most scholars hold that morning azkar run from dawn until the sun rises well above the horizon, and some extend that to midday. Evening azkar run from after Asr until sunset, and some extend that to the first third of the night. If you miss the window, say them when you remember rather than skipping them entirely.
