Istikhara With Hadith Sunnah of Rasulullah (
)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point you will bring to mind the matter for which you are making istikhaarah.
Trans: O Allah, I ask you of good through Your knowledge, and ability
through Your power, and beg (Your favour) out of your infinite bounty.
For surely You have power, I have none. You know all, I know not. You
are the great knower of all unseen things.

37. Istikhara
It is narrated from Hazrat Jaabir (
) that Rasulullah ()
used to teach us the dua of istikharah for important matters in the
same manner as he used to teach us the Surahs of the Qur’aan.

He ()
used to say, ”When you intend doing any important work, then read two
rakaats nafl salaat and thereafter read this dua.” (which is mentioned

Rasulullah () once remarked to Anas ()
“O Anas! When you are undecided with regards to any matter, then seek
counsel from your Rabb and do this seven times. Thereafter, whatever
decision prevails in your heart regard it to be beneficial.”
(Shaami-Vol.1, pg. 507)

(Shaami-Vol.1, pg. 507)
Note: It is not necessary
that one sees a dream or hears a voice. Asking another person to make
Istikhaarah on one’s behalf is not substantiated from any hadith. To
make Mashwarah (consultation) with someone else is Sunnat.
It has been mentioned in
the hadith that whomsoever makes Mashwarah will never regret and
whomsoever makes Istikhaarah will never be unsuccessful.
If one does not get the
opportunity to perform Salaatul Istikhaarah and needs to make
Istikhaarah urgently, then reciting the dua of Istikhaarah only will
suffice. If one has not learnt the dua of Istikhaarah then one should
recite this concise dua:
(Shaami-Vol.1)

38. The Dua Of Istikhara
At this point you will bring to mind the matter for which you are making istikhaarah.
O Allah, if in Your
knowledge this matter is good for my faith, for my livelihood, and for
the consequences of my affairs then ordain it for me and make it easy
for me and bless me there in. But, if in Your knowledge this matter is
bad for my faith, for my livelihood, and for the consequences of my
affairs, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it and ordain
for me the good wherever it be, and cause me to be pleased therewith.
After having recited this dua, adopt that aspect towards which the heart is inclined. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
