Salam o alaikum sister,

ISTIKHARA is seeking guidance from Allah )Allah se mashwara karna aur usski madad mangna) anything very important u intend to do. marriage or any business or any other major decision.

Salatul Istikharah is a sunnah.

What u have to do is find DUA E ISTIKHARA from any of the books with duas and wazaif... Pray 2 nawafil after your Esha prayer... and without talking to anybody and any interruption recite that dua and then raise ur hands and pray to Allah ask for his blessings and guidance.

actually u can do it Any time, but after isha, before sleep is best.

Sometimes poeple see some indication in dreams very clearly, if ur dreams are indicating something good that marriage proposal is very good for you... and if not it will be shown too. But dont only reply on dreams. Sometimes poeple dont see anything in their dreams, in that case u should not be disappointed and leave it upto Allah s.w.t he will take care of everything. If that marriage proposal is good for you Allah will straighthen ur path... and if not nothing will be able to harm you or u will have a feeling inside ur heart.

Allah will save u in ol conditions and situations because he knows the best. May Allah grant us the towfiq to follow their noble footsteps, Aameen.

Dont get confuse with the dua... there are two duas for istakhara, recite the one with marriage title. and take shower before u perform istakhara. Its very important.

Do it 3 times... if needed 7 times its upto u.

If there is difficulty in understanding the dreams or indications let ur mother do it for u... For girls and boys parents can perform that too.

GoodLuck Sister.

May Allah grant us the towfiq to follow their noble footsteps, Aameen.

=)

Well, when you perform Istakhara, as it is said earlier by one of the QLers it will litteraly lead you to the right direction. For instance, if you are torn between two job opportunities, or in weither taking a job offer or not, you do Istekhara, and you will find yourself taking the best decision for yourself. You also do Istekhara when you want to know weither you think this marriage will be good for you or not. It is good to do Istekhara every once in a while in your life, it's good for you because it will always make you take good decisions in your life.

Good day!

@johny

why people dont understand Islam being a Muslim. Istakhara is not a signal or something like you have described why are we Muslims making Islam like the other religion. Istakhara is a two rakat prayer in which a person prays and says a dua that what ever the person is going to start may Allah help the person to show him or her the right direction . its not that you will get some signal or what. when you are involved in a relation or going to involve in any work it is according to Allah decision to step in it so how can we say that we will get red blue green black signals...its not like this...

must do ISTEKHARA before getting engaged or married

its mean you ask ALLAH what is good for you

if you see soemething Green or white in your dream while doing ISTEKHARA its mean a good signal for you

and if you see something Red in our dream then better to step back from the think you wana do

an if you see nothing in your dream, then either you do that thing or not which you decided to do, it will not be bad for you

how to do ISTEKHARA follow the link below
