أذكار الصباح والمساء
Sayyid al-Istighfar (Master of seeking forgiveness)
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa Anta, khalaqtani wa ana 'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa wa'dika mastata'tu, a'udhu bika min sharri ma sana'tu, abu'u laka bi ni'matika 'alayya, wa abu'u bi dhanbi faghfir li fa innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa Anta.
O Allah, You are my Lord, none has the right to be worshipped except You. You created me and I am Your servant. I keep Your covenant and my pledge to You as best I can. I take refuge in You from the evil I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me — for none forgives sins but You.
Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 6306. Whoever says it in the day with certainty and dies before evening is of the people of Paradise; likewise if said at night.
Upon reaching morning (and evening)
أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Asbahna wa asbahal-mulku lillah, walhamdu lillah, la ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir.
We have entered the morning and with it the whole kingdom belongs to Allah. Praise is to Allah. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, He has no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is over all things capable. (Say 'amsayna' in the evening.)
Source: Sahih Muslim 2723 (from Ibn Mas'ud).

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ۚ ... وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
Allahu la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum... (al-Baqarah 2:255)
Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi in the morning is protected from the jinn until evening, and whoever recites it in the evening is protected until morning.
