The answer

Authentic hadiths command certain supplications after prayers, among them the Prophet's instruction to Mu'adh: "O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best manner." This applies if the supplication is individual. However, gathering for supplication after every prayer is an innovation (bid'ah), because it is an invented method in religion that rivals the . If what is sought is merely individual supplication, there is no objection, but it is better to sometimes omit it to avoid controversy.
