Answer:

Assalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh

A person can make any dua that is narrated in the Quran or Hadith as long as it doesn’t resemble everyday speech. They should make dua for themselves, their parents and the rest of the Muslims. `Ibn Mas’ūd رضي الله عنهused to make this dua:

للَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ مَا ع عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ

And it is preferable to say the following dua near the end of the prayer:[1]

رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي رَبَّنَا وَتَقْبَلْ دُعَاءِ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ

The best way to learn what duas you can make from the Quran and Hadith is to sit with your local Imam/scholar and go over the duas.

And Allah knows best.
