Making dua softly after the fardh salaah

Question

After your fardh salaah with jamaat, is it better for the Imaam to make dua loudly or softly and what's the best duas to read?

Answer

After the fardh salaah, dua should be made individually and softly. This was the way in which Rasulullah (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) and the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu anhum) would make dua after their fardh salaah. There are many duas that are reported in the Hadith. The following are two famous duas which are reported in the Hadith:

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
