About morning duas

Morning adhkar are short phrases of remembrance and supplication reported from the Prophet ﷺ for the start of the day, covering praise of Allah, seeking His protection, and asking for a good day.

They are commonly recited after the Fajr prayer or at some point in the morning. Books describe the preferred window slightly differently, so the exact timing is generally treated as flexible rather than fixed.
