Ae ALLAH agar tu janta hai ke beshak ye kam (jis kam ke liye ye istikhara kar rahein hai uska nam lijiye) mere liye mere deen, mere ma’aash aur mere anjam kaar ke lihaaz se behtar hai to iska mere haq mein faisla kar de aur isse mere liye asan kar de. Tu janta hai aur main nahi janta aur tu ghaibon ko khoob janta hai. Narrated by Jabir bin `Abdullah:“ The Prophet (SAWS) taught us the way to do Dua Istikhara (Istikhara means asking Allah to guide someone to the right kind of action regarding a job or an act), in all matters like him taught us the Suras of the Quran … ” Khayr is an umbrella word that represents all good. Hence in this case – (human beings) seek KHAIR (goodness, prosperity, guidance, blessings etc.) from Allah. The 10th feminine verbal noun (إِسْتَفْعَلَ) of that root is إِسْتَخْارَة (the tenth form usually conveys the meaning of “someone who is looking for something”). The word Istikhara استخارة comes from the root words خ-ي-ر in the Arabic language. The one doing the istikhara is as if they are asking Allah Almighty, O the Knower of the Invisible, to guide me whether this task is better for me or not? Allah alone knows what is best for us, and there can be good in what we see as bad, and bad in what we see as good.ĭua Istikhara means seeking goodness from Allah, which means that when one intends to do an important task, he does istikhara before the task.
