What You Need To Know About Istikarah | Abu Bakr Zoud

Istikharah (Seeking Allah's Help in Making a Decision)
Jābir رضي الله عنه narrated: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us istikhārah (when one seeks Allah’s help in making a decision) for all matters, the same way he taught us Sūrahs from the Qur’ān. He ﷺ said: “When one of you intends to do something, he should offer two rak‘ahs of voluntary Salāh, and then say [the below].” (Bukhārī 6382)
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْتَخِيْرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيْمِ ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوْبِ . اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هٰذَا الْأَمْرَ (وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَه) خَيْرٌ لِّيْ فِيْ دِيْنِيْ وَمَعَاشِيْ وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِيْ ، فَاقْدُرْهُ لِيْ وَيَسِّرْهُ لِيْ ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِيْ فِيْهِ ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هٰذَا الْأَمْرَ (وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَه) شَرٌّ لِّيْ فِيْ دِيْنِيْ وَمَعَاشِيْ وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِيْ ، فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّيْ وَاصْرِفْنِيْ عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِيْ بِهِ
Allāhumma innī astakhīruka bi ʿilmik, wa astaqdiruka bi qudratik, wa as’aluka min faḍlika-l-ʿaẓīm, fa innaka taqdiru wa lā aqdir, wa taʿlamu wa lā aʿlam, wa Anta ʿAllāmu-l-ghuyūb. Allāhumma in kunta taʿlamu an-na hādha-l-amra khayrul-lī fī dīnī wa maʿāshī wa ʿāqibati amrī, faqdurhu lī wa yassirhu lī thumma bārik lī fīhī, wa in kunta taʿlamu anna hādha-l-amra sharrul-lī fī dīnī wa maʿāshī wa ʿāqibati amrī, faṣrifhu ʿannī waṣrifnī ʿanhu waqdur liya-l-khayra ḥaythu kāna thumma arḍinī bih.
O Allah, I ask you for the best through Your knowledge, I seek strength through Your power, and I ask You from Your majestic benevolence. For You are fully able whilst I am not, You know everything whilst I do not know anything, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter (specify the matter) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my ultimate destiny, then decree it for me and make it easy it for me, then bless it for me. But if in your knowledge, this matter (specify the matter) is bad for me in my religion, my livelihood and my ultimate destiny, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it and decree good for me wherever it may be, then make me pleased with it.

Sheikh I have a question. Can we do Istikharah about investment. Sometimes those investments are doubtful e.g. In crypto currency or forex trading thinking if it is permissible Allah will make things easier and if it is not permissible Allah will stop us from doing so. Please guide Shukran

[@faraaq]

Wouldn't scholars have a fatwa for that?

[@ansari_naseem]

Not very clear. Some days allowed and some says opposite. So I am confused

[@faraaq]

@@northeastsouthwest1 Please be careful of posting a Fatwa like that, unless a scholar also has said the same as we are not people of knowledge. If that's the case, then it's better to just guide the brother to which scholar has posted the Fatwa.

Asalam alaikum. Does this mean in case of marriage, one should perform Istikhara after one has already made intentions to get married to someone? Or should the dual come before deciding on getting married?

[@ahmedtawfik2152]

Wa Alaikum Salam.. Dua should be done BEFORE proposing marriage

[@princesssalmaidris5335]

Intention is important for all kinds of Salah.

Assalamualaikum. Have you ever heard of Muhammad Qasim's dream? That Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad SAW appeared hundreds of times in his dreams giving information about the end of time. For the past 30 years, Allah SWT and Muhammad SAW have always come into his dreams. He is now 47 years old. The first time Allah SWT and Muhammad SAW came into his dreams was when he was 12 years old and when he was 17 years old, Allah SWT and Muhammad SAW continued to appear in his dreams. Since then Allah SWT has come into his dreams at least 500 times and Muhammad SAW has come into his dreams at least 300 times. In 2007, Allah SWT and Muhammad SAW taught him what to do and what not to do. Mostly to avoid all things about shirk. He have seen many dreams in which Islam and Muslims will rise again to the whole world. The first time in April 2014, Allah SWT told him, "Qasim, I want you to tell the whole world about your dream and I want everyone to know who you are". In his dreams, he saw that when the true Islam of Prophet Muhammad SAW spread throughout the whole world, Muslims would unite again regardless of race and tribe and skin color. Muslims also eradicate racism and discrimination. When Pakistan removed shirk and its forms then Allah SWT helped Pakistan and Pakistan began to grow. After that Pakistan became a peaceful country and many Muslims around the world migrated to Pakistan and helped spread the true Islam of Prophet Muhammad SAW and all Muslims will live as one body. Allah Swt also said in his dream "Qasim! Your dream is not only for Pakistan, your dream is for all mankind and the whole world". Allah SWT told him in many dreams that: "Qasim, one day I will help you and give you success and I will fulfill all My promises even if there is only one day left before the Day of Judgment." On April 10, 2015, Prophet Muhammad SAW said to him in a dream: "My son Qasim, before the day of judgment, 4 major signs of the end will appear. The first major sign is the appearance of you my son Qasim!" In another dream, Prophet Muhammad SAW said to him that the second big sign will be shown in the coming years, which is the appearance of Dajjal. He SAW also showed him that the last 2 big signs include the descent of Isa 'Alaihissalam and the destruction done by Gog and Magog. Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad SAW told Muhammad Qasim in a dream: "One day you will bring all Muslims out of darkness and the whole world will be filled with light and peace. All this will start from Pakistan.” Allah knows best.
