People are always thinking how to be saved. What is the easiest way to get closer to Allah? Some very important morning and evening supplications (Dua) are described below which are extremely beneficial, necessary and useful.
Ayatul Qursi (Read Once) Surah Baqarah: 255.
اَللّٰهُ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا ھُوَ ۚ اَلْـحَيُّ الْقَيُّوْمُ ڬ لَا تَاْخُذُهٗ سِـنَةٌ وَّلَا نَوْمٌ ۭ لَهٗ مَا فِي السَّمٰوٰتِ وَمَا فِي الْاَرْضِ ۭ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهٗٓ اِلَّا بِاِذْنِهٖ ۭ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ اَيْدِيْهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَھُمْ ۚ وَلَا يُحِيْطُوْنَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهٖٓ اِلَّا بِمَا شَاۗءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِـيُّهُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضَ ۚ وَلَا يَـــــُٔـــوْدُهٗ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَھُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيْمُ ٢٥٥ ﴾.
Allahu la ilaha illa huwa haiyul qaiyum. La ta khudhuhu sinatuw wa la nawm, lahu ma fis samawati wa ma fil ard. Man dhal ladhi yashfaw indahu illa bi idhnihi. Ya lamu ma baina aidihim wa ma khalfahum. Wa la yuhituna bi shai im min ilmihi illa bi ma sha’a. Wasia Qursiyyuhus samawati wal ard. Wa la ya uduhu hifzuhuma, wa huwal aliyyu l azim.
Meaning: 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 Qursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Highest, the Greatest.
***The person who says it in the morning, will remain in shelter from the devil until the afternoon, and whoever says in the afternoon, until the morning, Hadith compiled the Hakim, 1/562. And Shaikh Albani calls it Sahih in Sahihhut Targiab Wat-Tahrwei, 1/273 And he has related it to Nasa’i, Tabarani and said, the Tabarani Sanad ‘Zayyad’ or better.

Saiyidul Istighofar (Once):
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ».
