FEATURED ARTICLE
Before any major decision, pray Salat-ul-Istikhara by Rafik Beekun
What is Salat ul Istikhara?
Source: Fiqh-us-Sunnah, volume 2, number 32 and volume 4,
number 141.
Often, we have to make major life-changing decisions:
whether to undertake a major project or not, whether to
apply for a promotion or not, whether to change career or
not, whether to invest in a certain company or not, whether to get married or not, whom to get married to, etc.
Istikhara (Arabic) means to ask Allah to guide one to the
right thing concerning any affair in one’s life, especially
when one has to choose between two permissible alternatives, e.g. a career choice, getting married, etc. Similarly,
a traveller should consult good righteous persons before
setting out on a journey, because Allah says, “And consult
them (O Prophet) in affairs (of moment),” (Qur’an, 3: 159)
and one of the characteristics of the believers is that “they
(conduct) their affairs by mutual consultation” (Qur’an, 42:
38). Qatadah said, “Every people who seek the pleasure
of Allah and consult with one another are guided to the
best course in their affairs.” The traveller should also make
istikharah and seek guidance from Allah.
Sa’ d ibn Waqas reported that the Prophet (peace be upon
him) said, “Istikharah (seeking guidance from Allah) is one
of the distinct favors (of Allah) upon man, and a good fortune for the son of Adam is to be pleased with the judgment of Allah. And a misfortune of the son of Adam is his
failure to make istikharah (seeking Allah’s guidance), and
a misfortune for the son of Adam is his displeasure with
the judgment of Allah.” Ibn Taimiyyah said, “He who seeks
guidance from the Creator and consults the creatures will
never regret it.”
How does one pray Salat ul Istikhara?
Salatul Istikharah is a sunnah of the Prophet (peace be
upon him). It is a prayer that one may pray if one must
choose between permissible alternatives: it is two nonobligatory rak’at (that can be recited separately or in combination with the regular sunnah prayers or the prayer for
entering the mosque […] during any time of the day or
night, and to recite therein whatever one wishes of the
Qur’an after reciting al-Fatihah. After the two-rak’ats, one
praises Allah and sends salutations to the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam and recites the following supplication
which has been recorded by al-Bukhari in Jabir’s hadith
(see full text below): “The Prophet (peace be upon him)
would teach us al-istikhara for all of our affairs as he would
teach us a surah from the Qur’an. He (sas) said: ‘If one of
you is deliberating over an act, he should pray two nonobligatory rak’at and say: “O Allah, I consult You as You are
All-Knowing and I appeal to You to give me power as You
are Omnipotent, I ask You for Your great favor, for You have
power and I do not, and You know all of the hidden matters . O Allah! If you know that this matter (then the person
reciting the du’a should mention the matter for which he is
seeking Allah’s Guidance) is good for me in my religion, my
livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: ‘for
my present and future life,’) then make it (easy) for me. And
if you know that this matter is not good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my life in the Hereafter, (or he said:
‘for my present and future life,’) then keep it away from me
and take me away from it and choose what is good for me
wherever it is and please me with it.”
The following hadith (referred above in Fiqh-us-Sunnah)
is narrated by Jabir bin Abdullah about Salat-ul-Istikhara
in Sahih Bukhari (volume 2, hadith number 263 and again
volume 9, hadith 487):
The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to teach us the
way of doing Istikhara (Istikhara means to ask Allah to
guide one to the right sort of action concerning any job
or a deed), in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the
Quran. He said, “If anyone of you thinks of doing any job
he should offer a two Rakat prayer other than the compulsory ones and say (after the prayer): ‘Allahumma inni
astakhiruka bi’ilmika, Wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, Wa asaluka min fadlika al-‘azim Fa-innaka taqdiru Wala aqdiru, Wa
ta’lamu Wala a’lamu, Wa anta ‘allamu l-ghuyub. Allahumma, in kunta ta’lam anna hadha-l-amra (then the person
reciting the du’a should mention the matter for which he
is seeking Allah’s Guidance) Khairun li fi dini wa ma’ashi
wa’aqibati amri (or ‘ajili amri wa’ajilihi) Faqdirhu li wa yassirhu li thumma barik li Fihi, Wa in kunta ta’lamu anna hadha-lamra shar-run li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa’aqibati amri (or
fi’ajili amri wa ajilihi) Fasrifhu anni was-rifni anhu. Waqdir li
al-khaira haithu kana Thumma ardini bihi.‘

To summarize, here is how you pray Salat-ul-Istikhara step-by step:
l
Continued from page 6
Perform Wudu (the ablution) if you do not have it already.
Pray 2 raka’at either with the intention of praying Istikhara separately by itself or jointly with two non-obligatory rak’at (e.g. the regular sunnah prayers or the prayer for entering the mosque, or tahajjud.) Please make sure
that you are not praying during the three times when it is undesirable to pray [The Prophet (s) said: “There is no
prayer after the Fajr until the sun (sufficiently) rises; and there is no prayer after the ‘Asr until the sun completely
sets.” [Muslim, 1041, agreed upon]. Again, in another hadith reported in Muslim 1040, it is narrated: “ Three were
the times at while Allah’s Messenger ( ) forbade us from praying or burying our dead (ie. funeral prayer): when
the sun begins to rise until it is fully up; when the sun is at its height until it passes the meridian; and when the
sun begins to set until it is completely set. [Muslim, 1040]” Please note if istikhaarah is done for something that
is immediate and cannot be delayed, then this prayer may be performed at a time when prayer is not allowed,
such as if a person wants to travel after Asr prayer. But if the matter is not immediate and the prayer can be delayed until after the time (see fatwah below)
l
Immediately after you have completed the 2 rakats, recite the Istikhara Dua and mention the matter for
which you are seeking Allah’s Guidance you have at the appropriate point in the du’a.
l
There is no limit on the number of times you can pray Salat-ul-Istikhara though the fuqaha mention that it is recommend
to repeat it, up to 7 times if necessary (usually done on separate occasions). [cf: Radd al-Muhtar]
What happens after one prays Salat ul Istikhara?
An-Nawawi holds that “after performing the istikharah, a person must do what he is wholeheartedly inclined to do and
feels good about doing and should not insist on doing what he had desired to do before making the istikharah. And if his
feelings change, he should leave what he had intended to do, otherwise he is not completely leaving the choice to Allah,
and would not be honest in seeking aid from Allah’s power and knowledge. Sincerity in seeking Allah’s choice, means that
one should completely leave what he himself had desired or determined.”
It is not necessary that you get a dream or even a “feeling.” Rather, the istikhara is a prayer that Allah guide you towards that
which is best (khayr) for you. If you do the prayer of guidance (istikhara) with the proper manners, the most important of
which is to truly consign the matter to Allah and suspend your own inclinations, then Allah will make events unfold in the
direction that is the best for your worldly and next-worldly affairs.
Please remember that the core of being a Muslim is to put your absolute trust in Allah. Accordingly, once you perform
the prayer of Istikharak, you need to follow the guidance of Allah whether it means pursuing or abandoning the intended
undertaking. Allah also says:
“And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is ((Allah))
for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.” (Qur’an
65:3)
How many times can one pray Salat ul Istikhara?
As stated above, there is no limit on the number of times you can pray Salat ul Istikhara . though the fuqaha mention that
it is recommend to repeat it, up to 7 times if necessary (usually done on separate occasions). [cf: Radd al-Muhtar]
What matters can one seek guidance from Istikhara
and what matters are best dealt with the use of the
intellect and not Istikhara?

Answer from the scholars at Islamonline.com
What matters can one seek guidance from Istikhara and
what matters are best dealt with the use of the intellect and
not Istikhara?
Praise be to Allaah.
one’s circumstances; rather it is complementary to that. Islam
does not approve of overlooking appropriate measures or relying completely on these measures; rather it is a balance between
the two, so that the Islamic character will combine being realistic
and being spiritual at the same time.
It is not correct to divide matters, when deciding whether it is
permissible to pray istikhaarah regarding them, into the two
categories of matters which are subject to rational thinking, in
which one should not pray istikhaarah, and matters that are not
subject to rational thinking, concerning which one may pray istikhaarah.
Hence we can say that istikhaarah is prescribed in all our affairs
- so long as they lie within the realm of permissibility - alongside
using intellect and studying the available means.
Rather what is prescribed in all cases - both major and minor - is
to use one’s intellect and wisdom, and to study the options and
available means. If a person is hesitant about some matter or it is
not clear which choice is the correct choice on the basis of shar‘i
evidence, if it is a shar‘i matter, or the basis of rational proof or
proof based on experience, and so on, according to the nature of
the matter in question - if he is uncertain and it is not clear based
on whatever evidence is appropriate in that case, then he should
delegate his affairs to Allah, asking Him for guidance and declaring his helplessness before Him, and pray istikhaarah, which is a
supplication to Allah, asking Him for guidance and success after
examining the available options on a rational basis.
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) taught
us to pray istikhaarah concerning all our affairs as he would
teach us a soorah of the Qur’aan.
Istikhaarah does not cancel out rational thinking or examining
And Allah knows best.
It was narrated that Jaabir ibn Abd-Allah (may Allah be pleased
with him) said:
Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6382.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
It includes both important and insignificant matters, because
important matters may stem from insignificant matters.

Support Orphans Monthly
Hidaya is supporting over 10,000 orphans and nearly 5,000 widows
with a total of over $300,000 worth of assistance every month.
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that, “The most beloved action to Allah’s
Apostle (peace be upon him) was that whose doer did it continuously and regularly.”
(Sahih Al-Bukhari #8.76.469)
Hidaya Foundation supports orphans and widows under two projects:
Widow/Orphan Support: For $40 per month, all basic needs are met for a household of a widow and her orphan(s).
No Orphan without Education: For $10 per month, all educational needs are met for each orphan child.
Please help us with this effort of taking care of the weakest of society by donating monthly towards our
orphans projects.
Call us to set-up your monthly donation, or find out how to set it up yourself on our secure website at:
