Sunnah Duas One Should Never Forget!

NOTE: Some Basic Duas that Maulana jee said we should become regular in making this Ramandan and later. Dua books contain many other and detailed duas, in addition to those mentioned here. But the idea is to begin small and begin somewhere, and then take it from there inshaAllah!
