“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to teach his companions to make istikhaarah in all matters, just as he used to teach them surah from the Quran. Narrated by al-Bukhaari from Jaabir Ibn ‘Abdullah: Istikhara in itself is a blessed Sunnah, which was readily practiced by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) himself. When one cannot make up one’s mind, regarding any or all matters one may face in this world, Allah (SWT) tells us to seek His support. In Arabic, the word istikhara denotes “seeking guidance for the best course of action”. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah." (Quran 3:159) 2- Istikhara
For Allah has said: "And consult them in the affair. Get their sound opinion regarding the matter at hand and consider their advice while making the final decision. The first thing you should do is consult a reliable, pious and knowledgeable person, who you trust. So if you’re facing a dilemma, what do you do? 1- Consult a fellow believer When faced with difficult decisions, Allah (SWT) has blessed His believers with a direct communication channel, the prayer of istikhara, through which His guidance can be attained and executed in our everyday life. But alas, the truth is that our life would be an utter and complete mess without the guidance of Allah (STW). Without trials, without decisions, this world would not serve its ultimate purpose to find Allah (SWT) and turn to Him at the end of every road in life.Īs humans, we tend to think that we are enough, and we do not necessarily need anyone else in deciding any course of action in life. We all have, it is all part of our test in this world.
Do you often find yourself at a crossroad, not knowing which way to go? Do you find yourself against a wall, not knowing whether to climb it or dig under it? Do you find yourself facing certain life decisions and not knowing which one will be better for you? You must have.
