«Оо, Аллах, I consult You as You are All-Knowing and I appeal to You to give me power as You are Omnipotent, I ask You for Your great favour, for You have power and I do not, and You know all of the hidden matters. May Allah bless us with divine guidance from Himself and may He give us the understanding to make the correct decisions and may He put goodness in whatever He chooses for us to do. Ошондуктан, we should always make an effort to perform this prayer of Istikhara, whether we see it as a way in receiving guidance or whether we perform it as a supplication dua. We have been instructed by the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam to perform the Istikhara prayer whenever we make decisions in our life, especially when we make some major decisions in life. And a misfortune of the son of Adam is his failure to make istikharah ( seeking Allah’s guidance), and a misfortune for the son of Adam is his displeasure with the judgment of Allah.” Ibn Taimiyyah ( Baqarah 16)Īccording to one Hadith: “ It is from the good fortune of man that he makes Istikharah ( seeks good) Алладан, and it is from his misfortune that he discards Istikharah.” Sa’ d ibn Waqas reported that the Prophet, ага тынчтык болсун, деди, “Istikharah ( seeking guidance from Allah) is one of the distinct favors (Алланын) upon man, and a good fortune for the son of Adam is to be pleased with the judgment of Allah. “ And it is very possible that you dislike something whereas it is good for you жана ( similarly) it is very possible that you like something whereas it is bad for you”. This is where we can see the wisdom and hikmah of the Holy Quran: Ошондуктан, to go against this would be to your misfortune. You have ‘sought the good’ from Allah and He, in His infinite mercy and knowledge has pointed out the way. Others see a bad sign e.g a marriage proposal and still go ahead with the marriage only to suffer the consequences. Some people have a good sign or feeling and go against it. Now this is the real test of our faith and imaan in Allah ( Subhanahu wa ta’ala). InshAllah.įollowing your Istikhara – The Real Test : Keep asking Allah to show you a dream and if you don’t see a dream at all you will still be guided by Allah through a change in circumstances or a change in your heart and your feelings towards that thing. It is recommended that you should continue your istikhara for 7 days if you have not got your answer. Пайгамбар (ага Аллахтын салам-салаваттары болсун) деди: “True dreams are one of the forty-six parts of Prophethood.” ( al-Bukhaari, 6472 мусулман, 4201) This means that good dreams and warnings in your dream are a direct source of information and guidance from Allah – SubhanAllah If you don’t see a dream, it is not an issue. A good dream is a positive sign and a bad dream is a sign of warning regarding that matter of your life in general ( if you are doing a non specific istikhara). Seeing Dreams: You don’t have to see a dream but of course you may see a dream. Also Istikhara can be performed for life’s small decisions, big decisions and even for general guidance in your life. Except for after Fajr and Asr when sujood ( sajda) is forbidden. I know some people who do Istikhara with most of their prayers. Istikhara can be performed every day and even in the daytime. ( It is permissible to do the above but not compulsory) Some think it is so difficult and complex that can they even do it! Others are told that they have to have a bath, wear clean clothes, pray Isha Salah then not speak to anyone, go to bed and wait for a dream of some sort. Мисалы, some Muslims think that it requires so much preparation. The first misconception is that Istikhara is a ‘special occasion only’ prayer or dua. сайтында өзүңүздү катташыңыз керек stikhara, in reality, means “to seek goodness from Allah”.ĭoes Istikhara require lots of preparation or is it something I can do daily? Its a way to get guidance direct from our creator? Will I see a dream? Some colours? A Sign? What if I see nothing? Did I not perform it correctly! How many times do I need to do an Istikhara? Istikhara as recommended by the Prophet (с.а.в) is such an amazing blessing and a direct answer from Allah. What is Istikhara and how is it performed correctly? This is a very common question and quite rightly so.
