Question about salah of istikhara

A

Aapa

Mirajmom
Assalaam walaikum,

We do not pray for desire. We make dua that Allah protect us from our desire. We ask for something if it is good in this world and the hereafter. And we ask Allah to give us the strenght to deal with the answer of No. And we move on.

I don't understand your question exactly. Istikhara is done after you make a decision. It is not done to make a choice.


I thought that Salah of istikhara is prayed so that we can Ask Allah Subhanwatala to give us the best amongst the two or more option of things which we have????? Am i correct?? Can somebody please explain the true meaning?? I prayed salah of istikhara so as to get guiance from Allah Suhanawatala from showing me thecorrect path or the correct thing.... if i am wrong can anybody tell the correct reason???

Walaikkum Assalam wa rahamatullahi wa barakatuhu,

Shaykh Muhammad bin Umar Bazmool said:
‘That al-Istikharah is not done when a person is uncertain about the matter at hand; because the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said: ‘If any of you intends to undertake a matter’ and that the whole of the Dua’ indicates to this point. So if a Muslim is uncertain about a matter, and he intends to pray al-Istikharah , then he should make a choice between the two matters and then pray al-Istikharah , and then after al-Istikharah he executes that matter, and if it was good then Allaah will make it easy for him and bless him in that, and if it was not good for him, then Allaah turns it away from him and makes easy for him that in which there is good by the permission of Allaah -Subhanahu wa Ta’ala.
[Taken from: ‘Buggeeyat al-Mutattawa’ fee salat at-tattawa’ p.105]

This was also said by Shaykh Al-Albaani Rahimahullah..

Also, read the attachment, there are some beneficial information in it.

Read the Du'a for al-Istikharah here - http://abdurrahman.org/zikr/Hisn_al_Muslim/Prayer_Al_Istikhaarah.html ( This is by Saeed bin ali bin wahf al qahtani, he is known to be a senior students of sheikh Abdul aziz bin baaz )
