YOGYAKARTA - Reading dhikr is one of the practices that can be done by Muslims. There are many virtues that can be gained from reciting dhikr. Besides in the evening, reciting dhikr is also recommended to be done in the morning. So what is the time limit for morning dhikr?

Dhikr is a practice that is commanded in the Qur'an and is one way to get closer to Allah SWT. In addition, reciting dhikr has many virtues, ranging from calming the heart, controlling lust, overcoming anxiety.

Muslims can recite dhikr morning and evening after performing fard prayers. There are several opinions from scholars regarding the time limit for morning dhikr. Let's understand the right time to do morning dhikr.

What is the time limit for morning dhikr?

The recommended time to do morning dhikr is from the time of dawn until sunrise. In addition, there are several different opinions from the scholars regarding the time limit for morning dhikr.

The first opinion about the time of morning dhikr is from dawn to sunrise. This opinion comes from Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah in Al Kalimuth Thoyyib, Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Salim As Safarini Al Hambali in Ghidza-ul Albaab li Syarh Manzhumatul Aadab, Ibnul Qoyyim in Al Wabilush Shoyyihb, and Sayyid Sabiq in Fiqhus Sunnah.

The second opinion is that the morning dhikr should be recited from the break of dawn until the time of zawal, or when the sun moves to the west. This opinion was expressed by Al Lajnah Ad Daimah in its fatwa and is the opinion of Shaykh Muhammad ibn Sholeh All ‘Uthaymeen in the study of Liqo’ Al Bab Al Maftuh.

The third opinion states that reciting the morning dhikr should be done from the break of dawn until sunset. This opinion was conveyed by Ibnul Jazaari in the book Mafatih Al Hishn and Ash Shaukani in Tuhfatudz Dzaakiriin.

From the various opinions above, the most recommended time to recite the morning dhikr is from dawn to zawal. Regarding the end of the time of morning dhikr, it is not explicitly explained in the evidence, so it is returned to the Arabic language, namely what is meant by the end of morning time.

Likewise, since the time of masaa' (evening) starts from the time of zawal, the morning time ends at the time of zawal. In addition, the Hadīth also states that the morning time continues until after sunrise. Therefore, the time of sunrise is not considered a limitation for the time of morning dhikr.

Meaning: There is no god but Allah, the Eternal Living, Who is continually taking care of (His creatures); He neither slumbers nor sleeps. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and the earth, and no one can intercede with Him without His permission. Allah knows what is before them and behind them, and they know nothing of Allah's Knowledge except what He wills. The Kursi of Allah encompasses the heavens and the earth, and Allah does not find it difficult to care for them; Allah is the Most High, the Most Great. (QS Al Baqarah: 255)

Meaning: Say: ‘I seek refuge in the Lord of the Dawn, from the evil of His creatures, and from the evil of the night when it is pitch dark, and from the evil of the sorceresses who breathe on the whorls, and from the evil of the envious when he is envious’. (QS Al Falaq: 1-5)

5. Surah An-Nas (Recited 3 times in the morning and evening)

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ إِلَهِ النَّاسِ مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ مِنَْجِنَّةِ وَ النَّاسِ

Qul a'uzu birabbin naas. Malikin naas. Ilaahin naas. Min sharril was waasil khannaas. Al lazii yuwas wisu fii suduurin naas. Minal jinnati wan naas.

Meaning: Say ‘I seek refuge in the Rabb (who maintains and controls) of mankind. The king of mankind. The worshiper (Ilah) of mankind. From the evil (whispering) of the devil who usually lurks. Who whispers evil into the breasts of men. From among the jinn and humans'. (QS An-Nas: 1-6)
