Supplication After Performing Ablution
أشْهَدُ أنْ لا إله إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيك لَهُ ، وأشْهَدُ أنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ، اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَوَّابِينَ ، واجْعَلْني مِنَ المُتَطَهِّرِينَ ، سُبْحانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وبِحَمْدِكَ ، أشْهَدُ أنْ لا إلهَ إِلاَّ أنْتَ ، أسْتَغْفِرُكَ وأتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah, make me among those who repent and make me among those who purify themselves. Glory be to You, O Allah, and with Your praise, I bear witness that there is no deity except You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You.

Prayer After the Adhan
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ
allahumma rabba hadhihid-da'watit-tammah, was-salatil-qa'imah, ati muhammadanil-wasilata wal-fadilah, wab'ath-hu maqaman mahmudanilladhi wa'adtah
O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad the wasilah (a high status in Paradise) and the excellence (above all creation), and raise him to the praiseworthy station that You have promised him.
Reference: Narrated by Abu Dawud (529), at-Tirmidhi (211), an-Nasa'i (2:26), Ibn Majah (722)
This prayer is recommended by the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam for those who hear the call to prayer. It has many benefits, including receiving intercession from the Prophet on the Day of Judgment, attaining the wasilah and honor in Paradise for the Prophet, and receiving great and commendable reward from Allah. It is also a way to show respect and admiration for Allah and His Messenger, expressing love and longing for the Prophet Muhammad, the role model for Muslims.
Istighfar

Reference: HR. Muslim No. 591
When the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, finished his prayer, he would seek forgiveness three times and recite the dhikr above. Al-Auza'i stated that the recitation of istighfar is 'Astaghfirullah, Astaghfirullah.'
Allah, The Giver of Peace
اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ، وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَاْلإِكْرَامِ
allahumma antas-salam wa minkas-salam tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wal-ikram

Allah, The Preventer and The Giver of All Things
لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرُ، اَللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs dominion and praise, and He is over all things competent. O Allah, there is no preventer of what You give, and no giver of what You withhold, and wealth and honor do not benefit their possessor (except faith and righteous deeds that save from punishment). Only from You is wealth and honor.

Allah, The Possessor of All and The Only One Worthy of Worship

There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs dominion and praise, and He is over all things competent. There is no power and no strength except by Allah. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and we do not worship except Him. To Him belongs all favor, grace, and good praise. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, making our religion sincerely for Him, even if the disbelievers dislike it.
Reference: HR. Muslim No. 594
'Abdullah bin Zubair said, "The Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wa sallam, used to recite the tahlil (laa ilaha illallah) at the end of the prayer."
There is No Partner for Allah, and To Him Belongs All Things
لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرُ

Reference: Sharh Shahih Muslim, 5: 84
Whoever recites the dhikr above, his sins will be forgiven, even if they are as numerous as the foam on the ocean. Imam Nawawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said that the text of the hadith indicates that 'Subhanallah', 'Alhamdulillah', and 'Allahu akbar' are each recited 33 times separately.

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
Reference: HR. an-Nasai in Al-Kubro 9: 44. This hadith is declared sahih by Ibn Hibban, as mentioned by Ibn Hajar in Bulugh al-Maram
Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after finishing the prayer, nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise except death.

(I have turned my face sincerely towards He who has brought forth the heavens and the Earth and I am not of those who associate (others with Allah). Indeed my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are for Allah, Lord of the worlds, no partner has He, with this I am commanded and I am of the Muslims. O Allah, You are the Sovereign, none has the right to be worshipped except You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant, I have wronged my own soul and have acknowledged my sin, so forgive me all my sins for no one forgives sins except You. Guide me to the best of characters for none can guide to it other than You, and deliver me from the worst of characters for none can deliver me from it other than You. Here I am, in answer to Your call, happy to serve you. All good is within Your hands and evil does not stem from You. I exist by your will and will return to you. Blessed and High are You, I seek Your forgiveness and repent unto You.)(Allah does not create pure evil which does not have any good or contain any benefit, wisdom or mercy at all, nor does He punish anyone without having commited a sin. Something can be good in terms of its creation when viewed in a particular perspective and at the same time be evil when viewed in another way. Allah created the devil and by him, He tests His servants, so there are those who hate the devil, fight him and his way and they stand at enmity towards him and his followers and there are others who are at allegiance with the devil and follow his steps. So evil exists in His creatures by His will and wisdom, not in His actions or act of creating.)

(O Allah, guide me along with those whom You have guided, pardon me along with those whom You have pardoned, be an ally to me along with those whom You are an ally to and bless for me that which You have bestowed. Protect me from the evil You have decreed for verily You decree and none can decree over You.For surety, he whom you show allegiance to is never abased and he whom You take as an enemy is never honoured and mighty. O our Lord, Blessed and Exalted are You.)(Evil you have decreed: Allah does not create pure evil which does not have any good or contain any benefit, wisdom or mercy at all, nor does He punish anyone without having commited a sin. Something can be good in terms of its creation when viewed in a particular perspective and at the same time be evil when viewed in another way.Allah created the devil and by him, He tests His servants, so there are those who hate the devil, fight him and his way and they stand at enmity towards him and his followers and there are others who are at allegiance with the devil and follow his steps. So evil exists in His creatures by His will and wisdom, not in His actions or act of creating.)

الدعاء بعد التشهد الأخير وقبل السلام
اللهم بعلمك الغيب وقدرتك على الخلق أحيني ما علمت الحياة خيراً لي وتوفني إذا علمت الوفاة خيراً لي ، اللهم إني أسألك خشيتك في الغيب والشهادة ، وأسألك كلمة الحق في الرضا والغضب ، وأسألك القصد في الغنى والفقر ، وأسألك نعيماً لا ينفد ، وأسألك قرة عين لا تنقطع ، وأسألك الرضا بعد القضاء ، وأسألك برد العيش بعد الموت ، وأسألك لذة النظر إلى وجهك والشوق إلى لقائك من غير ضرَّاء مضرة ولا فتنة مضلة ، اللهم زينا بزينة الإيمان ، واجعلنا هداة مهتدين
