How to read this dhikr
Upon Entering the Morning is part of the morning azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the morning. The best time is after Fajr, before the sun rises; if you miss that window it can still be read later in the morning, before Dhuhr.
It is read once. Say it slowly, understanding the meaning, rather than rushing to the next one.
