~ Salat ul Istikhara ~
Narrated Jabir bin
'Abdullah (Radi Allah Anhu):
The
Allah's Apostle (Sall'Allahu alaihi 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 (Sall'Allahu alaihi
wasallam) 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 (Sall'Allahu alaihi wasallam) added that
then
the person should name (mention) his need."
