Can Dua change Istikhara?
Yes and not istikhara but dua can can your destiny as well . Sure! It was a very non-cinematic occurrence, but it’s as real as daylight. Let’s first define istikhara: a prayer to Allah (swt) for guidance in making a decision, usually followed by some kind of response in the form of a “sign.”
Is it good to end a haram relationship?
A relationship that is haram must be ended. If it continues, then the sin continues. A believer, when he/she is aware of a sin, leaves it and repents. Repentance is a means to cleanse one of the sin.
What time should istikhara be done?
Perform Istikhara after Salat al-Fajr or Salat al-Lail. It’s always best to recite two rak’ah before asking for guidance. It’s advised to incorporate Istikhara into your morning prayer (Salat al-Fajr) or after Salat al-Lail. Salat al-Lail is a voluntary late night prayer.
How long should I continue my Istikhara?
It is recommended that you should continue your istikhara for 7 days if you have not got your answer. Keep asking Allah to show you a dream and if you don’t see a dream at all you will still be guided by Allah through a change in circumstances or a change in your heart and your feelings towards that thing. InshAllah.
Is Istikhara haram (forbidden)?
What’s amazing is that while we understand that fortune-telling and horoscopes are haram (forbidden), we still look to istikhara as some sort of metaphysical loophole to these restrictions. Let it be clear from the onset, you will NOT necessarily see a dream/vision/sign/etc.
What are some of the misconceptions about Istikhara?
The first misconception is that Istikhara is a ‘special occasion only’ prayer or dua. For example, some Muslims think that it requires so much preparation. So they can’t be bothered to do it. Some think it is so difficult and complex that can they even do it!
Will I See my Istikhara du’a in my dream?
Let it be clear from the onset, you will NOT necessarily see a dream/vision/sign/etc. Your istikhara du’a, if accepted, should result in Allah ﷻ placing a bit of inclination in your heart towards going through with the action or not. Istikhara is a natural process.
