Dua-e-Istikhara
[Sahih
Bukhari : Volume 2, Book 21, Number 263]
Narrated Jabir bin
'Abdullah (Radi Allah Anhu): The Allah's Apostle (sal-Allahu-alleihi- wasallam
) 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 as'alaka min
fadlika al-'azlm 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
Khairun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa'aqibati amri (or 'ajili amri
wa'ajilihi) Faqdirhu wa yas-sirhu 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.'
(O
Allah! I ask guidance from Your knowledge, And Power from Your Might and
I ask for Your great blessings. You are capable and I am not. You know
and I do not and You know the unseen. O Allah! If You know that this job
is good for my religion and my subsistence and in my Hereafter--( or
said: If it is better for my present and later needs)--Then You ordain
it for me and make it easy for me to get, And then bless me in it, and
if You know that this job is harmful to me In my religion and
subsistence and in the Hereafter--( or said: If it is worse for my
present and later needs)--Then keep it away from me and let me be away
from it. And ordain for me whatever is good for me, And make me
satisfied with it).
The Prophet (sal-Allahu-alleihi-wasallam) added that then the person
should name (mention) his need."
