 The Quran isn't only the Holiest Book for Muslims; it's also unique in the sense that it's the last Divine Book,  transferred down to earth for the benefit and guidance of  humanity. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is the last Prophet and Messenger of Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى and the Quran is the last Divine words that were revealed to him. The Quran was revealed to him in  corridor over around 23 times.   Conserving the original  textbook of the Quran was a  pivotal task.

The dua to recite after leaving the toilet by the Prophet (ﷺ). Like other duas, this dua helps gain Allah's (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) blessings and is a way of offering one's gratitude to Him. Moreover, duas are a Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ), and following his Sunnah can help believers receive tremendous rewards in this life and the hereafter. Following the Prophet's Sunnah is also a way of getting close to Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى). It has been narrated by Aisha (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهَا) that, "When the Prophet would exit the toilet, he would say: 'Ghufranak.'" – (Jami at-Tirmidhi 7). There has also been a narration that narrates another dua before exiting the lavatory; it was reported by Anas bin Malik (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) and goes as follows: "Whenever the Prophet exited the toilet, he would say: 'Al-hamdu lillahilladhi adhhaba 'annial-adha wa 'afani (Praise is to Allah Who has relieved me of impurity and given me good health)....

  Anas Ibn Malik (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) narrated that, "Whenever the Messenger of Allah entered the toilet, he would say: 'A'udhu Billahi minal-khubthi wa'l-khaba'ith (I seek refuge with Allah from male and female devils)." – Sunan Ibn Majah 298. The source for the dua before entering the toilet, recommended to be recited before entering the toilet, has been cited by Al-Bukhari 1:45 and Muslim 1:283. So, the dua can be cited as reliable and authentic. It is also Sunnah to recite this dua before one steps inside the toilet to avoid harm from Shayateen. One must remember that the believers have been instructed not to linger in the toilet for too long and to leave immediately once all activities are finished. The etiquette taught by Islam is to step inside the toilet by putting your left foot first and exit the toilet by putting your right foot outside first. Other Islamic etiquette also instructs to practice silence when inside the toilets and avoid unnecessar...

  The dua to be recited before undressing was taught by Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) as reported by a Hadith in Jami at-Tirmidhi 606. The narrator of the Hadith is Ali Bin Abi Talid (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ), who reported the Prophet  (ﷺ)  saying: "The screen between the eyes of the jinns and nakedness of the children of Adam when one of you enters the area of relieving oneself is saying: 'Bismillah.'" – Jami at-Tirmidhi 606. One should still recite Bismillah before entering the toilet or an area where you are going to undress. This is because commencing any action or job with the recitation of Allah  (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)  's name is bound to bring you blessings and ward off Shaytan and evil. بِسْمِ اللَّهِ Bismillaahi In the Name of Allah. [Hisnul 9] [At-Tirmizi 2/505, 'Irwa'ul Ghalil no. 49, Sahihul-Jami' 3/203] Mentioning the name of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) before entering the toilet or undressing will prevent the Shaytan and jinn from causing you...

It is a means of expressing gratitude to Allah and strengthening one's religious identity. This dua was taught by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) himself and is something that was reiterated by him time and again.

In another instance, Abu Umamah (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) narrated that Umar bin Al-Khattab (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) wore a new garment and said this dua. Then he (رَضِيَ ٱللَّٰهُ عَنْهُ) narrated that he he...
