Dua's Every Muslim Must Memorize

The objective of this post is to help Muslims in knowing about the daily Duas, which they must memorize and recite on daily basis related to particular actions, and activities. Proceed further to educate yourself with these supplications:

AL QURAN (40:60) Invoke Me!, I Will answer you (invocation). Verily, those who scron My worship they will surely enter Hell in Humiliation ! ''(40:60)

When In Anger:

اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيْمِ

Translation-   “I seek refuge in Allah from Shaitaan the cursed” [Tirmizi Shareef Vol.2 Pg.183].

From this hadith it becomes evident that being in the state of anger is being under the influence of Satan. Therefore, when it comes to avoiding Satan or controlling his induced temptations, there is no better refuge than Allah Almighty. Hence, whenever in anger, a Muslim must recite this Dua and seek the help of Allah Almighty.

Bottom Line:In short, there are a variety of activities that a person undertakes in the daily routine. No matter whichever activity is undertaken, it is imperative that the help and blessings of Allah Almighty be asked for it and if there is a proper Dua available for it, then it must be memorized and recited while performing the activity.
