What are the prescribed remembrances (adhkar) after the Fajr prayer according to the Sunnah?
It is sunnah for a Muslim after every obligatory prayer to say: "Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness from Allah)" three times, then "Allahumma Antas-Salam wa minkas-salam, tabarakta ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram (O Allah, You are As-Salam (the One free from all defects), and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honor)." Then he says: "La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadir. Allahumma la mani'a lima a'tayta, wa la mu'tiya lima mana'ta, wa la yanfa'u dhal-jaddi minkal-jadd (There is no god but Allah, alone without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and all praise, and He is over all things competent. O Allah, there is none to withhold what You give, and none to give what You withhold, and the might of the mighty benefits him not against You)." And he adds: "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, la ilaha illallah, wa la na'budu illa iyyah, lahun-ni'matu wa lahul-fadlu wa lahuth-thana'ul-hasan. La ilaha illallah mukhliseena lahud-deen wa law karihal-kafirun (There is no might or power except with Allah. There is no god but Allah, and we worship none but Him. To Him belong all blessings, all bounty, and all good praise. There is no god but Allah, sincerely devoting our religion to Him, even if the disbelievers detest it)." And he recites Ayat al-Kursi and the Mu'awwidhat (Surahs Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas), repeating the Mu'awwidhat three times after Fajr and Maghrib. And he says "Subhanallah (Glorified is Allah)" thirty-three times, "Alhamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah)" thirty-three times, and "Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)" thirty-three times, completing the hundred with: "La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadir (There is no god but Allah, alone without partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and all praise, and He is over all things competent)." It is also sunnah to say: "Allahumma a'inni ala dhikrika wa shukrika wa husni ibadatika (O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You well)."
