How to Perform Istikharah Correctly and Its Benefits | Omar Suleiman

[@humbleservantofallah2023]

Du'a of Istikhara along with its transliteration and translation: Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ إني أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي -عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ- فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي، وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي، ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي -عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ- فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي، وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ، ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ. Transliteration: Allaahumma 'innee 'astakheeru bi'ilmika, wa 'astaqdiruka biqudratika, wa 'as'aluka min fadhlikal-'Adheem, fa'innaka taqdiru wa laa 'aqdiru, wa ta'lamu, wa laa 'a'lamu, wa 'Anta 'Allaamul-Ghuyoobi, Allaahumma 'in kunta ta'lamu 'anna haathal-'amra [then mention the thing to be decided] Khayrun lee fee deenee wa ma'aashee wa 'aaqibati 'amree [or say] 'Aajilihi wa 'aajilihi Faqdurhu lee wa yassirhu lee thumma baarik lee feeh, wa 'in kunta ta'lamu 'anna haathal 'amra sharrun lee fee deenee wa ma'aashee wa 'aaqibati 'amree [or say] 'Aajilihi wa 'aajilihi - Fasrifhu 'annee wasrifnee 'anhu waqdur liyal-khayra haythu kaana thumma 'ardhinee bih. Translation: O Allah, I seek the counsel of Your Knowledge, and I seek the help of Your Omnipotence, and I beseech You for Your Magnificent Grace. Surely, You are Capable and I am not. You know and I know not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter [then mention the thing to be decided] is good for me in my religion, in my life and for my welfare in the life to come, - [or say: in this life and the afterlife] - then ordain it for me and make it easy for me, then bless me in it. And if You know that this matter is bad for me in my religion and in my life and for my welfare in the life to come [or say: in this life and the afterlife] - then distance it from me, and distance me from it, and ordain for me what is good wherever it may be, and help me to be content with it.

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, I hope this message finds you in the best of health and iman. Today, I want to talk about a topic that holds immense significance in Islam - Sadaqah Jariyah, or continuous charity. Sadaqah Jariyah is a unique form of charity that continues to benefit the giver even after they have passed away. It’s one of the most powerful ways to earn ongoing rewards from Allah (SWT). The Concept of Sadaqah Jariyah: Sadaqah Jariyah is different from regular charity because its benefits are long-lasting. It includes actions such as: -Building a well or water source. -Constructing a mosque. -Publishing Islamic books. -Planting trees that provide shade and fruit. -Supporting educational projects. These acts of charity continue to provide benefits for others, thereby earning the giver continuous rewards. Our Mission Through this channel, my aim is to share beneficial knowledge and Islamic reminders that can help us all grow in our faith and good deeds. By posting these videos, I hope to contribute to Sadaqah Jariyah, ensuring that the knowledge shared here continues to benefit people for years to come. How You Can Help By contributing as little as $1, you can be a part of this noble endeavor. Your support will help in producing more educational content, spreading valuable knowledge, and, Insha'Allah, earning continuous rewards for all of us. To contribute, please click the link below: kzbin.info/door/M4-... A Reminder from the Prophet ﷺ The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, “When a person dies, their deeds come to an end except for three: Sadaqah Jariyah, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for them” (Sahih Muslim). This hadith highlights the importance of engaging in acts that provide ongoing benefits. Let’s invest in our Akhirah by supporting causes that continue to benefit others. May Allah reward you abundantly for your generosity and make it a means of success for you in this life and the Hereafter. Jazakum Allahu Khairan, Humble Servant of Allah.

Assalam o Alaikum Ustadh I was watching one of your videos on making istikhara your habit. In that video it was suggested to do two nafl before Fajr Salah and read istikhara dua. I just want to confirm that can we say any nafl salah between the adhaan and Salah of fajr other than the two sunnahs. Would be really grateful if you can answer my query so that I can make your suggestion a part of my daily routine. May Allah bless you immensely in this world and hereafter.

Can I pray istikhara to ask Allah for guidance whether I should pray for something specific I love to be my naseeb or not?

[@nayeema.msanjana7935]

Assalamualaikum who many times should we pray namaz one time r ,3 Time kindly reply

[@AinMYJ]

Waalaikumsalam. Namaz should be done 5 times a day according to the time of fardh. This is one of the videos that may be useful for you to learn the basics: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXzFnXpjj9SUnc0. Of course, there are many other videos you can refer to in KZbin. Good luck in your journey to establish your Salah/Namaz.

As wr wb can I pray istikhara for general idea for instance if I get married or not without nobody proposing me?

[@humbleservantofallah2023]

Wa Alaikum Assalam. Yes, you can pray Istikhara for guidance in any matter, including marriage, even if you haven't received a proposal yet. According to a hadith in Sahih Bukhari (1166), the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "If any one of you is concerned about a decision he has to make, then let him pray two rak'ahs of non-obligatory prayer and then say: 'O Allah, I seek Your guidance [in making a choice] by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty...'" May Allah guide you in making the best decision.

[@Muslimah_taqwa_dua]

As salaam o alaikum... I am a little confused about the information u gave us about reading it every day.. what should be niyat of this namaz... Like what should I have in mind before reading this salah... Its normally read when we wnat to decide something... Pls sexplan .. jazakallah khair for this video

[@muskaanmf8216]

As far as i know including isteqara in our night prayers and like praying isteqara salah and then reading the Dua is really helpful through our life , isteqara is not necessarily to be read only when you want to know something right for yourself or when you want to take some decision, you can include this in your daily prayers as the sahabas did , which will inturn only make our lives easy and beneficial of our own

[@omarakhter1644]

what if it’s a decision that’s personal and we can’t tell others? Would the second step be skipped?

I think you have to talk to any trust worthy person first if it's not possible then you can skip it..But try to talk with someone..May allah guide us❤
