Salams, can any surahs be read for Nafl prayers such as Tahhiyatul Masjid, Awwabeen after Maghrib, Salaat Ul Istikhaara? Ir is there any specific ones?
Nafl prayers are prayed just like Fard/Sunnah prayers. (Unlike Fard however, you'll also recite a Surah after Al-Fatiha in the third and fourth rakaat similar to Sunnah prayers.)
The intention is different, that's all.
With regards to Nafl Salaah in general, you may recite in them any Soorahs you want. However, in Salaat-ul-Istikhaarah, you should recite Soorah al-Kaafiroon in the first Rak`ah and Soorah al-Ikhlaas in the second.
With regards to Salaat-ul-Awwaabeen, then it is six Rak`aat with three Tasleemaat (i.e. three sets of two Rak`aat). In each set, read Soorah al-Kaafiroon once in the first Rak`ah and Soorah al-Ikhlaas thrice in the second Rak`ah.
