How to read this dhikr
Protection from all Evil is part of the evening azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the evening. The best time is after Asr, before the sun sets; if you miss that window it can still be read after Maghrib, before you sleep.
It is read 3 times. In the Sadeeq app a single tap counts each repetition and moves you on automatically when you reach 3, so you can keep your attention on the words rather than on a counter.
