Answer:
Wa `alaykum salam,
Anyone that is doing seclusion can increase his awrad, for example salawat on the Prophet (s) 24,000 daily and Allah Allah up to 74,000. If he has time, read Holy Qur’an from 3 juz to 11 juz., and the whole Dala’il al-Khayrat daily.
Also, 1000 la ilaha il -Allah, 100 Surat al-Ikhlas , and everything else increase to 1,000 repetitions.
