Surah Al-Baqarah, the longest chapter of the Quran, contains foundational prayers that cover every aspect of a believer's life. The 'Rabbana' dua (2:201) is the most comprehensive for daily needs.
رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Rabbana atina fid-dunya hasanatan wa fil-akhirati hasanatan wa qina 'adhaban-nar.
Our Lord, give us good in this world and good in the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of the Fire.
