Morning Dhikr — Azkar al-Sabah
The morning adhkar (Azkar al-Sabah) are supplications and remembrances recited after Fajr prayer until sunrise. They form a comprehensive shield of protection for the day ahead and are among the most strongly recommended daily acts of worship in the Sunnah.
أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Translation
We have entered the morning and the dominion belongs to Allah. All praise is for Allah. There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things powerful.
