dua e istikhara

When a Muslim is confused about resolving an issue, he can offer istikhara prayers and help Allah Almighty with it. Al-Istikharah is a powerful tool given by the Merciful God to His servants so that they may seek His guidance in all matters of life. For example, a person may perform Istikharah to seek God’s advice on whether he should move to school or work, if he should accept a marriage proposal, or if he has a special job or want to buy a house. Istikharah prayer is the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (saws), which is recommended and performed. There are many myths and misconceptions around IstikharahNamaz and many people do not have a complete understanding of Namaz.

Istakhara Prayers are easily performed. Whenever someone is faced with a decision, they will first need to do their part by researching their solution. Then one should seek truth from others who are knowledgeable, wise, reliable, and genuine, and who are qualified to advise on this issue. One must use God-given intelligence to understand all available options so that the collected research and advice are reflected and considered to determine all possible outcomes.

Once one decides how to proceed on this issue, he will voluntarily offer 2 units (rak’ats) of prayers, which should not be counted as part of the five obligatory prayers of the day. It is important to note that one should not offer Istikhara prayers until one has decided on the matter. The prayer he offers will be like any other traditional prayer. One must perform Wudhu in a clean state, dressed appropriately, and face the Qibla (towards the Kaaba, the house of God on earth, in modern Saudi Arabia). It is always recommended at the beginning of the prayer to seek God’s forgiveness and mercy.

After completing the 2 units of prayer, a prayer was recited to us by our last Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him). If one has not memorized the dua you can read it from a piece of paper. It is to be recited in Arabic, as our Prophet taught us. However, if one is new to Islam or cannot read Arabic, one can recite the translation of Dua in your language.

I do not worship what you worship,

Nor will you worship what I worship.

Nor will you worship what I worship.

Your way for you, and mine for me”.
