To what extent is it valid to designate specific adhkar (remembrances of God) for the days of the week, to be recited 100 times each day, namely: Saturday: "Ya Rabbal-‘Alamin (O Lord of the Worlds)," Sunday: "Ya Dhal-Jalali wal-Ikram (O Lord of Majesty and Honor)," Monday: "Ya Qadiyal-Hajat (O Fulfiller of Needs)," Tuesday: "Ya Arhamar-Rahimin (O Most Merciful of the merciful)," Wednesday: "Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyumu (O Ever-Living, O Self-Subsisting)," Thursday: "La ilaha illallah al-Malikul-Haqqul-Mubin (There is no god but Allah, the Sovereign, the Truth, the Manifest)," Friday: "Allahumma Salli ‘ala Muhammadin wa Ali Muhammadin wa ‘ajjil Farajahum (O Allah, bless Muhammad and the Family of Muhammad and hasten their relief)"; in addition to "Allahummaghfir lil-Mu’minina wal-Mu’minat wal-Muslimina wal-Muslimat (O Allah, forgive the believing men and women and the Muslim men and women)" 25 times, and "Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful)" 19 times, with a preference for reciting them after the Fajr (dawn) prayer?

The remembrance of Allah is one of the best acts of worship. The mentioned remembrances (adhkar) and their specific timings are an innovated bid'ah (heresy). Therefore, specifying a certain dhikr for each day has not been established in the Sunnah, and these remembrances resemble the adhkar of the people of innovation. So, a Muslim should avoid them and constantly engage in the remembrance of Allah Almighty at all times and in all situations. There is no objection to adopting a regular litany (wird) of adhkar and supplications narrated from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.
