Answer
(Fatwa: 1302/1162=B)
(1) It is mustahab (desirable) to start dua with the praise of Allah (الحمد للہ رب العالمین) and durood and end it with durood and الحمد للہ رب العالمین. It is sunnah (not bidah) to recite Al–Tahiyyat, then durood and dua at the end of salah in last qadah (sitting).
(2) It is sunnah to recite اللہ أکبر and استغفر اللہ thrice after completing the salah.
(3) One should start delivering speech with praise of Allah and durood and conclude it at وآخر دعوانا ان الحمد للہ رب العالمین۔
(4) Keep on reciting Surah Ikhlas, Surah Falaq and Surah Naas (قل ھو اللہ أحد، قل أعوذ برب الفلق، قل أعوذ برب الناس) as much as you can, in-sha-Allah you will be protected. Also, recite Surah Mulk after Isha, Surah Waqiya after Maghrib, Surah Yaseen in the morning and Surah Kahaf every Friday.
(5) We do not know any special virtue of Surah ShuÂ’ra.
Allah (Subhana Wa Ta’ala) knows Best
