Re: Istikharah Prayer - (asking Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'aala for guidance.)
aslamualaikum wa'rakhmatulla wa'barakatahu dearest brothers and sisters,
right, well i have read 2 different articles, well different in their own rights. the first states that you should read after Isha, and other at any time. For the 'after isha' is that obligatory or just if you want to, or it would help matters? Inshallah someone can clarify this in simple terms, as you can get many sources which state slight variations, so i was wodering this 'after isha' is this just down to personal choice?
ma'salama
may Allah swt shower you all with his blessings, ameen

Re: Istikharah Prayer - (asking Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'aala for guidance.)
wot if u performed istikhara prayer and got a postivite reaction 2 gettin married and the marriage doesnt work out, then wot?
Re: Istikharah Prayer - (asking Allaah subhaanahu wa ta'aala for guidance.)
:sl:
Yes im no expert, but i know istikhara is basically 'guidance'...for example i carried out my istikhara for the reasons stated before..and i truely believe i got a postive reaction, even a green light in my dream tto go to a certain college...
So off i go, with no worries, everything was as well as can be...on the 'last step' to actually making me an official college pupil something went wrong, teribly wrong...hence i just could not go there and waste an extra year there...
So what do i do? After some help from a few brothers, i came to conclusion that i should go to the 'other' college, against my istikhara...but i kinda understood that istikhara was to guide you..so in some funny way i may have been guided away from my 'istikhara positive' decision to the other place...
Therefore in that sense i believe that you may also have been guided away from your situation in some weird and mysterious way...the marriage may not have been right for you, as my college decision may not have been right for me...Allahu Alim
That's my 2 pence worth :)
masalama
FiamanAllah

^^ thing is bro, with the istikharah - Allaah makes a situation for you so that thing doesn't occur, why? Because you asked Allaah for the guidance.
Like for example if you wanted to get married and you did istikharah, then if marriage for that person wasn't good for you - Allaah would make a situation that you don't get married to that person. Allaah knows best.
