Sistyer the ONLY way of the Istekhara is the One The Prophet Sala lahu alihi wa sallam taught us , n practised n his sahaba practised.
There is no second or thord way
All those ways are inovated , and since u have mentioned this STRANGE n Inovated way siste , I will also like to take the opportunity to request u to STAY AWAY from whom ever u heared it from , be it a person n a group or sect coz they are clearely following their desires , n innovating in the deen new stuff that will lead them to destruction and their followers
I had heared aboutr this type pf istekhara before , That is opening the Quran randomly and taking a conclusion on the ayaat on the page, This is VERY wrong , This has absolutely got notthing to do with Islam and Muslimeen , n those who do it i will warn them with a sever warning , even though the warning are plenty f rthe Innnovators but this one is just too heavy
The one who inniovates will not get to drink fom the Haud Al kawthar
Here is one Hadith about it , about the haud and the one who will be denied from it
Verily, it is a river that my Lord, the Mighty and Majestic, has promised me and it has abundant goodness. It is a pond where my Ummah will be brought to on the Day of Judgement. Its containers are as numerous as the stars in the sky. Then a servant of Allah from among them will be (prevented from it) and I will say: "O Lord! Verily, he is from my Ummah (followers).'' Then He (Allah) will say: "Verily, you do not know what he introduced (or innovated) after you.)'' This is the wording of Muslim. Ahmad recorded this Hadith from Muhammad bin Fudayl, who reported from Al-Mukhtar bin Fulful, who reported it from Anas bin Malik. Imam Ahmad also recorded from Anas that the Messenger of Allah said
It is a river in Paradise which my Lord has given me. It is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. There are birds in it whose necks are (long) like carrots.) `Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah! Verily, they (the birds) will be beautiful
So those who innovate in the religion , apart from other losses will miss out on such a special drink , From the hands of the Prophet Sala lahu lhi wa sallam , The one who get sto drink it will never get thristy again. So may Allah save us from innovations , Innovated people , n groyups that folow and introduce innovations in the deen , N help us live our lifes according to Quran N sunnah , n help us follow the way f the pious precedors , The way of the Prophet sala lahu alihi wa sallam n his ompanions n those who fololwed them, The pure deen with notthing added to it nor notthing taken away from it , It surely was enough for them , n what was not DEEN AT THAT TIME CANOT BE DEEN TODAY
N also i just remmbeer another form of INVALID n INNOVATED istekhara know and performed by big time molvis of the sub continenet , That is the type to take a bead ( Tasbeeh) and one one of its stones he says yes n the next one no untill the bead ends , so if he ends at a yes its a GO , and if he ends at a no Its not to be done!
Remindes me of how when some one is in love lol n take a flower n removes its petals saying She loes me , She love me no , untill he or she reac hes a conclusion!!Wow just look at their understanding of the deen.
This is how the kuffar of makkah used to be , When they needed to amke a decision they would take a bird n release it , If it goes right the would take it as a yes n if it goes left they would take it as NO , I guess soe muslims are not MUCH diffrent from the kuffar n disbelievers of MAKAH AFTER ALL!!
This is not deen , this aint got notthing to do with Islam ,
JUST KNOW THIS BEAUTIFUL PRINCIPLE
FOR ANYTHINTG TO BE LEGISLATED OR PRESCRIBED , IT HAS TO HAVE THE APPROVAL OF ALLAH N HIS MESSNEGER
Be it an act of worship, ibadah , Aqeedah , creed , or fiqh , or any thing to do with thw relogion
Coz the Religion is
Allah said
and his messenger said
It has got to have either one of those two stamps on it , or both to be legislated
So sis this is no istekhara
Nor are any WIRDS or WAZWEFAHS
that go like , say 11 times darood , 21 times read al fathia n then 21 times say this n that n 671 time sthis n then ASK Allah !!
Who prescribed these number?? Not the prophet , so best to leave n stay away , or we will be from those losers who will miss out on the haud al kauthar and jannah in he long run
coz the Prophet says
EVEREY NEWLY invented thiG is a BIDAH(INOVATION) and ever bidah is a going astray n every thing that taes u astray is in FIRE!
