Below is the Dua to be recited Between Two Prostrations.
Ibn Abbas narrated:
"Between the two prostrations, the Prophet would say: (Allahummaghfir li, warhamni, wajburni, wahdini, warzuqni).
'O Allah! Pardon me, have mercy on me, help me, guide me, and grant me sustenance.'"
Reference : Jami` at-Tirmidhi 284
In-book reference : Book 2, Hadith 136
English translation : Vol. 1, Book 2, Hadith 284
The below dua is something that we have been thought as the niyah for fasting since our childhood.
*Allahumma Asumu Gadallaka Fagfirli
MA Qaddamtu Wa Ma Akhartu*
When i checked for its authenticity, there isn't any dalil for this dua from the books of Sunnah. Not even a weak hadith is available. On top of it, this dua itself is wrong when u check its translation.
Translation: “O ALLAH! I shall keep fast
*tomorrow* .” (Therefore forgive all my past & future sins).
In Islam the day begins at Mughrib and ends at Mughrib. Then the dua for suhoor would have been "I shall keep my fast *Today* " but the one who has fabricated this dua would have done a mistake and have made it tomorrow.
With regard to sahoor, there is no specific du’aa’ to be said at this time. What is prescribed is to say Bismillah at the beginning and to praise Allah.
With regard to the intention, it is not prescribed to utter it out loud. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said: “Whoever thinks
in his heart that he will fast tomorrow has formed the intention.”
Abstain from innovations, for every kind of innovation is a bid'ah, and every bid'ah is misguidance and all misguidance
leads to hell fire." [Sunan Abu Dawud, Kitab-us- Sunnah, Book 40 Hadith number 4590].
May Allah save us from these kind of Bidah and guide us to the right path.
All Pagan religions from the time of Babylon have adopted (in one form or another) a Trinity doctrine or a triad or trinity of gods. Long before the Christian era, numerous variations of the trinity existed, and they were found in a host of pagan religions and mythologies. As with so many other pre-Christian traditional customs and practices, the revival of this doctrine in the Christian era was predictable. It was essential that followers be able to see Christianity – their 'new' religion – in familiar terms.
Triad deities (the worship of a three-in-one god) first appeared in ancient Egypt about three centuries after the Great Flood of Noah's time. These Egyptian deities came to be worshiped as Osiris, Isis and Horus.
After the destruction of the Tower of Babel, Nimrod and his mother-wife Semiramis, the first rulers of Babylon, fled to Egypt. There, Nimrod (known as Ninus or Athothis, among numerous other names) shared rulership with his father Cush (Menes) in the first dynasty. After Nimrod's death, Semiramis claimed his son Horus to have been Nimrod reincarnated. These three – Osiris (Nimrod), Isis (Semiramis) and Horus (the son) – came to be exalted as a triad of deities
There is no evidence the Apostles of Jesus ever heard of a Trinity. The Bible does not teach the doctrine of the Trinity. Neither the word Trinity itself, nor such language as one in three, three in one, one essence or substance or three persons, is biblical language. The language of the doctrine is the language of the ancient Church, taken not from the Bible but from classical Greek philosophy.
Long before the founding of Christianity the idea of a triune god or a god-in-three persons was a common belief in ancient religions. Although many of these religions had many minor deities, they distinctly acknowledged that there was one supreme God who consisted of three persons or essences. The Babylonians used an equilateral triangle to represent this three-in-one god. The Greek triad was composed of Zeus, Athena and Apollo. These three were said by the pagans to 'agree in one.' One of the largest pagan temples built by the Romans was constructed at Ballbek (situated in present day Lebanon) to their Trinity of Jupiter, Mercury and Venus. In Babylon the planet Venus was revered as special and was worshipped as a Trinity consisting of Venus, the moon and the sun. This triad became the Babylonian holy Trinity in the fourteenth century before Christ. Although other religions for thousands of years before Christ was born worshipped a triune god, the Trinity was not a part of Christian dogma and formal documents of the first three centuries after Christ. That there was no formal, established doctrine of the Trinity until the fourth century is a fully documented historical fact. Clearly, historians of church dogma and systematic theologians agree that the idea of a Christian Trinity was not a part of the first century church. The twelve apostles never subscribed to it or received revelation about it. So how then did a Trinitarian doctrine come about? It gradually evolved and gained momentum in late first, second and third centuries as pagans, who had converted to Christianity, brought to Christianity some of their pagan beliefs and practices.
The modern belief in the trinity originated in the 4th century at the Council of Nicaea in approximately 325 C.E. King Constantine, the Roman Emperor and an adherent to paganism, presided over the Council. Its main purpose was to unite the Roman Empire by achieving agreement on Christian doctrine. This would promote a universal consolidation within the church.
As the council proceeded, there were two distinct sides, which the Archdeacon Athanasius of Alexandria, Egypt upheld regarding the trinity. Arius fought for the opposition; but after long weeks of debate, the admitted pagan, Pontifex Maximus Constantine, ruled in favor of the Trinitarian teaching of Athanasius, the Egyptian.
Egypt, one of the oldest civilizations in the world, had long before adopted the pagan belief of the trinity. One of the most famous Egyptian trinities was that of Horus, Isis, and Seb (HIS), a trinity that consisted of father, mother, and son, and a concept that also traces back to Babylonian ancestry.
History teaches that much later, after instituting a mandatory belief in the trinity, Constantine tried to be more tender and merciful with the decision, but it was too late. The Nicene Creed (also known as the Athenasian Creed) had taken hold. All who did not believe in the trinity doctrine were persecuted and killed. Every available instrument of torture was used on the nonbeliever. The Nicene Creed has since been amended, but it is still read today in many of the Protestant and Catholic churches. Those churches that associate themselves with the World Council of Churches now require belief in the trinity doctrine.
Almighty God is merciful and beneficent and at the same time he will punish also. To inform and warn us about his punishment is also part of his infinite mercy. Only people who use their intellect will understand this.*
This is why we have to comprehensively understand the characteristics of Allah. He is the most gracious, the most merciful (Rahman, Raheem), the bestower (Al mannan), the most compassionate (Ar-Raoof), the most forgiving (al gaffaar), the ever giving (al wahhab), the most generous (al jawwad), the most bountiful (Al Kareem).
Not only that, he does complete justice - the perfect in ability (Al mukhaddir), the ever watchful (Al muhaimin), the superb Arbiter (Al Fattaah), the supreme judge (Ad-dayyaan, Al hakim)
If God is like a doll which cant even punish anyone then He cant do justice. What is the use of such a God if there is no difference between people who do righteous good deeds all their life and people who committed all sorts of atrocities (for example rapist and murderers of nirbhaya and many others who were never even caught)?
Who are we to define characteristics of God? Who are we to say that he should be like this and He should not be like this? First of all He is our Creator and sustainer so we have to be ever obedient to him. We have to understand and follow his message to prove our obedience to him.
In philosophy - Men contemplate about God, universe, life and purpose of mankind’s creation and existence. Where as in Revelation, God communicates to his messenger about his true nature, universe, life and purpose of mankind’s creation and existence. So there is a big difference between the two which need to be understood clearly. Quran is Revelation, not philosophy of human beings. Its individual's choice which one to follow - Revelation or Philosophy.
Concepts such as “God will not threaten or punish” are philosophies of people who followed their whims and desires and rejected accountability for their deeds. Also this preaching is from those who reject Revelation and declare themselves as Gods and lead people astray.
Please reflect on this message. Dont accept everything just because its sounds nice to hear and easy to follow.
God has given us freedom and free-will. He is not forcing anything on us. He is just warning us by giving the knowledge of events to come after death.
After your death, if you realise that all these philosophies about God were wrong and only Revelation is Truth then there will be no use. Those who wrote those philosophies or those who convinced you about them will not be able to save you.
"And do not follow that about which you have no knowledge; Verily; every act of hearing, or of seeing, or of (wandering of) the heart will be questioned (on the Day of Judgment)" Quran 17:36
"They have not made a true estimate of Allah: For Allah is He who is strong and Almighty" Quran 22:74
"I will turn them away from My signs (verses), those who behave with pride on the earth opposing the right- And even if they see all the Signs (verses), those who behave with pride on the earth opposing the right- And even if they see all the signs (verses), they will not believe in them; And if they see the way to right conduct, they will not follow it as the Way; But if they see the way to wrong, that is the way they will follow. (They do this) because they rejected our signs (verses), and have not taken the warning from them. Those who reject Our signs (verses of Quran), and the Meeting in the Hereafter, their actions are useless" Quran 7:146,147
"If it had been your Lords Will all of them would have believed- All who are on earth! (But) will you then compel mankind, against their will, to believe? No soul can believe, except by the Will of Allah, and He will place doubt on *those who will not use their ability to understand*" Quran 10:99-100.
Read astaghfar all time time.
“Astaghfirullah al-lathi laa ilaha illa huwa, al-Hayyul Qayyum wa atubu ilayh” –
"Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow
on you rivers."'" [Nuh (71):10-12]
A man once came to al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him: “The sky does not shower us with rain.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ ).”
Also the below can be recited for Rain.

"If there is something you want in life and you are not praying tahajjud for it, then you don't really want it." — Shaykh Yasir Qadhi
''The Dua made at tahajjud is like an arrow that does not miss its target.'' — Imaam Ash Shafi (RA)
Get up to pray in the dark when all are asleep and see how your path is lit and your life begins to shine. #Tahajjud
Many people talk about Allah but very few talk to Allah. Bring Tahajjud and Du’a into your life and talk to Him.
If there is something you want to ask Allah, start praying tahajjud.
Tahajjud time is on even 15 mins before fajr (morning prayer) so if you are a heavy sleeper you should try waking up atleast 20 mins before fajr and offer tahajjud.
Raise your hands in dua in tahajjud & be consistent, Allah loves hearing our duas.
Abu Hurayra (Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him) said,
"The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer." [Sahih Muslim]
Benefits of Tahajjud (The Night Prayer):
1 - Implementing the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (SallalLahu alayhi wa sallam) which he never use to miss
2 - A way of getting your Dua's accepted
3 - A way of getting your sins forgiven
4 - By performing it, it will bring light to your face and soul
5 - It helps you fight your desires
6 - It makes you closer to Allah
7 - It builds the love of the Hereafter in your heart
8 - It softens the heart and humbles you in front of Allah
9 - It strengthens the Qur’an that you have memorised
Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiyalLahu anhu): Allah’s Apostle (Peace be upon him) said, “Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: “Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?” [Bukhari]
Spread the knowledge so it will be Sadaqatul-Jaaria (everlasting charity) for you In Shaa Allah.
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action.” [Muslim 1893].
