Is it permissible to combine remembrances (dhikr)—such as seeking forgiveness (istighfar) and sending blessings upon the Prophet, peace be upon him—in a single utterance, like saying: “I seek forgiveness from Allah and repent to Him. O Allah, send Your prayers, peace, and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his companions,” or “I seek forgiveness from Allah. Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah. There is no god but Allah. There is no might or power except with Allah. And Allah is the Greatest”?

The remembrance of Allah Almighty is one of the greatest acts of obedience and the best means of drawing closer to Him. There is no impediment to combining the aforementioned dhikr phrases with other reported phrases, even though it is better to perform each type of dhikr as it was authentically reported in the Sunnah. There is no harm in combining unrestricted dhikr or in bringing some forward or delaying others. There is no specific order that must be followed for the reported dhikr.
