Is it obligatory to recite the supplication for concluding the Qur’an, found in the Mus'haf, immediately after finishing the recitation of the surahs? And must one adhere to the exact supplication found in the Mus'haf, or is it permissible for a person to make their own special supplications, especially since supplications vary from one Mus'haf to another?

Reciting a supplication (du'a') upon completing the Qur'an is not an obligatory act in Islamic law. However, it is generally permissible. It has been narrated that Anas ibn Malik used to gather his family and supplicate for them upon completing the Qur'an. There is no specific supplication prescribed for this occasion; rather, it is preferable to supplicate with the proven prayers found in the Qur'an and . It is also permissible to supplicate for any personal needs one desires.
