SALATUL ISTIKHARAH (Prayer For Seeking Guidance)
The Istikharah prayer is a very simple prayer of seeking guidance.
One prays two rak’ats at any time that is not disliked, after which one recites the supplication of Istikharah.
It is best to recite it before sleeping, though in no way necessary.
Like other Du’as, it is recommended that one face the Qiblah.
It is recommended to open the Du’a of Istikharah, with praise of Allah (Subhanahuwa Ta’ala) and sending blessings on the Prophet ﷺ and to close it in this manner, too.
It is disliked to ‘hasten’ in seeking the answer to one’s Istikharah, like other Du’as, because the Prophet ﷺ said, “Your prayers are answered, unless you hasten, saying, ‘I prayed, but no answer came.’”
The Prayer in Arabic.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي
TRANSLITERATION
Allâhumma innee astakhiruka bi ‘ilmika wa astaqdiruka biqudratika wa as’aluka min fadlikal-‘azimi, fa innaka taqdiru walâ aqdiru wa ta’lamu walâ a’lamu wa anta ‘allaamul ghuyoobi.

TRANSLATION
“O Allah, verily I seek the better [of either choice] from You, by Your knowledge, and I seek ability from You, by Your power, and I ask You from Your immense bounty. For indeed You have power, and I am powerless; You have knowledge, and I know not; You are the Knower of the unseen realms. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me with regard to my religion, my livelihood, and the end of my affair, then decree it for me, facilitate it for me, and grant me blessing in it. And if You know that this matter is not good for me with regard to my religion, my livelihood, and the end of my affair, then turn it away from me and me from it; and decree for me better than it, wherever it may be, and make me content with it.”
Looking for Signs;
One should suspend one’s own judgment or inclination about a particular matter and wait for Allah (Subhanahuwa Ta’ala) to show one a sign or to make things happen in a way that indicates what to do. When one is unclear about the result of the Istikharah, the Fuqahaa mention that it is recommended to repeat it up to seven (7) times if necessary (usually done on separate occasions). [cf: Ibn ‘Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
Shaykh Nuh Keller mentions that the more one prays the Istikharah prayer, the clearer its answers become to oneself. He prays it for all matters, even things one would not imagine doing Istikharah for.
It is not necessary that you get a dream or even a “feeling.” Rather, the Istikharah is a prayer that Allah Istikharah guides you towards that which is best (Khayr) for you. If you do the prayer of guidance (Istikharah) with the proper manners, the most important of which is to truly consign the matter to Allah (Subhanahuwa Ta’ala) and suspend your own inclinations, then Allah (Subhanahuwa Ta’ala) will make events unfold in the direction that is best for your worldly and next-worldly affairs.
When Unable to Offer Salah:
In general, when it is not possible to perform the Istikharah prayer itself (such as when one is out on the road or in one’s menstrual period), it is recommended to simply read the dua itself. [Radd al-Muhtar].
For Even the Smallest Things:
The great Hanafi scholar and Hadith expert from Aleppo, Shaykh Abdullah Siraj al-Din, mentions in his book on the virtues of prayer that it is the way of many Sufis, including Shaykh al-Akbar Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi (may Allah sanctify his secret), to pray the Istikharah prayer at the beginning of their day, after sunrise, asking Allah (Subhanahuwa Ta’ala) to guide them in general to all good and to keep away all evil from them.
Istikharah gives the best answer for one’s worldly and religious life (not worldly life alone) when coupled with another essential Sunnah Istisharah (seeking sound counsel) of those worthy of being consulted and taking the sound means of assessing the situation at hand.
Imam al-Nawawi mentioned that before the Istikharah prayer, one should seek advice from those whose knowledge, wisdom, and concern one is confident. Ibn Hajar al-Haytami and others mentioned that one of the benefits of this is to further distance oneself from the desires of one’s own egotistic inclinations.
The Istikharah prayer may be made for a specific matter or be made for a general seeking of all that is best. Some scholars, including Imam ‘Abd al-Wahhab al-Sha‘rani and Ibn ‘Arafah before him, saw this kind of Istikharah prayer as being superior.
Others, including Shaykh Ibn ‘Arabi, recommended performing a general Istikharah prayer for all that is good every day, ideally at the time of the Duha prayer (after sunrise).
One should be pleased with what Allah (Subhanahuwa Ta’ala) chooses for one and not seek to follow one’s whims after the answer to one’s supplication becomes clear.
We ask Allah (Subhanahuwa Ta’ala) to give us the beneficial knowledge and the success to act upon it in the way most beloved to Him, in the footsteps of His beloved Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ’alaih wa Sallam).

[written on] Wednesday morning 29 July 1840 at 1 5/.. we we /Anne’s repetition/ winding up and away distant and above Tchekoïchi at 1 50/.. at h, (near top of thill) stop to make inquiries of our guide about the Sharaoola – he pointed to the picturesque high white sort of scar i. and said the cavern from which the river escaped and ran a little distance, was about c. but between George and Adam anything like information is always difficult and generally impossible to be got at – Surely, we shall never have a stupider than George! – off from point h. at 2 – at 3 Ann and I had eaten each a cucumber (she 1 all but bits of ends) and on the top of high plateau turned down to see in the distance (for we had now wound round in sight of the Rion again) the cavern and fall of the Sharaooli into the Rion about 1 verst from the village Ocăr-dēē-ăh, 3 or 4 versts from Pichari? – not a bit of it – returned – it seemed our poor guide did not know the road thro’ the thick young wood that surrounded the bit of open ground we stood – tried several little lanes the monastery in sight but its wondrous depths unseen – itself seeming as if almost on a level or below us – till got right at last, and at 3 3/4 began the steep descent into the bottom 3 or 4 men perched on point of monastery rock – picturesquely tremendous to see them stand watching us – steep zigzag ascent up the side of the singular mass
of high monastery crowned rock – an ancient temple here? arrived at 4 10/.. – very fine – an old crater? 2 high jets of calcaire the monastery, on the higher the good monks received us without looking at our papier ouvert – a good wood house to ourselves with gallery for the servants – a little cabinet for Ann’s bedroom, and private gallery to private place – excellent – most comfortable – in our grand salon – good broad long divan for me and a long good steady table under the one little (4 about 1 foot x 7 inches lights) window but room lighted by opening the doors onto our 2 galleries – very comfortable – gave our guide ./50 silver well satisfied – siding – to stay till 4 p.m. tomorrow – our own good tea at 5 10/.. – nothing but rain water here drawn up from deep reservoir with long pole and bucket but clear, and made good tea – the tea our good prince Ottea Pépiani gave us this morning for me (Ann had her milk) I could not drink – offered it to George who declined on my saying and he agreeing that it was not tea and I threw it quietly down in a corner on our mud floor – making my bed comfortably and siding (dawdling over 1 thing of tidiness or another) till went out at 7 5/.. Ann had been out sauntering about for 1/2 hour before- looked about the little island-summit – the little garden – new church and our court end of the monastery – little old church and other part of our little village – the archimandrite who had piloted Ann about did the same good office for me – very civil – took me with pride to East end of the little plateau – (its length is from East to West) to look down upon the 2 singular tall small masses of limestone in the style of the Isle of Wight needles – very fine and picturesque – out till very dusk at 8 – quite dark at 9 – or before fine starlight night at 10 – Reaumur 21 3/4 and Fahrenheit 81 1/2° in our comfortable room at 9 p.m. very fine day – they brought us a fine boiled fowl and more bread and offered more wine about 8 1/2 catching fleas (brought with me) till 10 1/4

Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ never forgot to say these supplications whenever he entered morning and evening: . اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَتِي وَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ عَوْرَاتِي وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَمِنْ خَلْفِي وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي وَمِنْ فَوْقِي وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي “O Allaah, I ask you for wellness in this world and in the Hereafter. O Allaah, I ask you for forgiveness and wellness in my religion and in my worldly affairs, in my family and in my property. O Allaah, cover my faults and protect me from what I fear. O Allaah, guard me from the front and the back, from the right and the left, and from above. I seek refuge in your greatness from a catastrophe underneath me.” Allaahumma ‘innee ‘as’alukal-‘afwa wal’aafiyata fid-dunyaa wal’aakhirati, Allaahumma ‘innee ‘as’alukal-‘afwa wal’aafiyata fee deenee wa dunyaaya wa ‘ahlee, wa maalee, Allaahum-mastur ‘awraatee, wa ‘aamin raw’aatee, Allaahum-mahfadhnee min bayni yadayya, wa min khalfee, wa ‘an yameenee, wa ‘an shimaalee, wa min fawqee, wa ‘a’oothu bi’adhamatika ‘an ‘ughtaala min tahtee.

Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O humanity! If you are in doubt of my faith, then ˹know that˺ I do not worship those ˹idols˺ you worship instead of Allah. But I worship Allah, Who has the power to cause your death. And I have been commanded, ‘Be one of the believers,’

Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): "Wahai sekalian manusia!

SALATUL ISTIKHARAH (Prayer For Seeking Guidance)
The Istikharah prayer is a very simple prayer of seeking guidance. One prays two rak’ats at any time that is not disliked, after which one recites the supplication of Istikharah.
It is best to recite it before sleeping, though in no way necessary. Like other duas, it is recommended that one face the Qiblah.
It is recommended to open the Du’a of i Istikharah, with praise of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) and sending blessings on the Prophet ﷺ and to close it in this manner, too.
It is disliked to ‘hasten’ in seeking the answer to one’s Istikharah like other Du’as, because the Prophet ﷺ said, “Your prayers are answered, unless you hasten, saying, ‘I prayed, but no answer came.’”
The Prayer in Arabic
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي
Transliteration
Allâhumma inni astakheeruka bi ‘ilmika wa astaqdiruka biqudratika wa as’aluka min fadlikal-‘Azimi, fa innaka taqdiru walâ aqdiru wa ta’lamu walâ a’lamu wa anta ‘Allaamul Ghuyoobi. Allâhumma in kunta ta’lamu anna hâdhal amra khairun lee fee deenee wa ma-‘aashee wa ‘aaqibatee amree faqdir-hu lee wa yassir-hu lee thumma baarik lee feehi wa in kunta ta’lamu anna hâdhal amra sharrun lee fee deenee wa maâshee wa ‘aaqibatiee amree fasrifhu annee wasrifnee ‘anhu waqdir liyal-khaira haythu kâeea thumma ardinee.
Translation “O Allah, verily I seek the better [of either choice] from You, by Your knowledge, and I seek ability from You, by Your power, and I ask You from Your immense bounty. For indeed You have power, and I am powerless; You have knowledge, and I know not; You are the Knower of the unseen realms. O Allah, if You know that this matter is good for me with regard to my religion, my livelihood, and the end of my affair, then decree it for me, facilitate it for me, and grant me blessing in it. And if You know that this matter is not good for me with regard to my religion, my livelihood, and the end of my affair, then turn it away from me and me from it; and decree for me better than it, wherever it may be, and make me content with it.”
Looking for Signs One should suspend one’s own judgment or inclination about a particular matter and wait for Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) to show one a sign or to make things happen in a way that indicates what to do.
When one is unclear about the result of the Istikharah, the Fuqahaa mention that it is recommended to repeat it up to 7 times if necessary (usually done on separate occasions). [cf: Ibn ‘Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar]
Shaykh Nuh Keller mentions that the more one prays the Istikharah prayer, the clearer its answers become to oneself. He prays it for all matters, even things one would not imagine doing Istikharah for.
It is not necessary that you get a dream or even a “feeling.” Rather, the Istikharah is a prayer that Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) guides you towards that which is best (Khair) for you.
If you do the prayer of guidance (istikhara) with the proper manners, the most important of which is to truly consign the matter to Allah and suspend your own inclinations, then Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) will make events unfold in the direction that is best for your worldly and next-worldly affairs.
When Unable to Offer Istikharah Salah In general, when it is not possible to perform the Istikharah prayer itself (such as when one is out on the road or in one’s menstrual period), it is recommended to simply read the Du’a itself. [Radd al-Muhtar]
For Even the Smallest Things The great Hanafi scholar and Hadith expert from Aleppo, Shaykh Abdullah Siraj al-Din, mentions in his book on the virtues of prayer that it is the way of many Sufis, including Shaykh al-Akbar Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi (may Allah sanctify his secret), to pray the Istikharah prayer at the beginning of their day, after sunrise, asking Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) to guide them in general to all good and to keep away all evil from them.
Istikharah gives the best answer for one’s worldly and religious life (not worldly life alone) when coupled with another essential sunna: Istikharah (seeking sound counsel) of those worthy of being consulted and taking the sound means of assessing the situation at hand.
Imam al-Nawawi mentioned that before the Istikharah prayer, one should seek advice from those whose knowledge, wisdom, and concern one is confident. Ibn Hajar al-Haytami and others mentioned that one of the benefits of this is to further distance oneself from the desires of one’s own egotistic inclinations.
The Istikharah prayer may be made for a specific matter or be made for a general seeking of all that is best. Some scholars, including Imam ‘Abd al-Wahhab al-Sha‘rani and Ibn ‘Arafa before him, saw this kind of Istikharah prayer as being superior.
Others, including Shaykh Ibn ‘Arabi, recommended performing a general Istikharah prayer for all that is good every day, ideally at the time of the Duha prayer (after sunrise).
One should be pleased with what Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) chooses for one and not seek to follow one’s whims after the answer to one’s supplication becomes clear.
We ask Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala) to give us beneficial knowledge and the success to act upon it in the way most beloved to Him, in the footsteps of His beloved Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu ‘alaihi wa Sallam).

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Allahumma AAalimal-ghaybi washshahadah, fatiras-samawati wal-ard, rabba kulli shayin wamaleekah, ashhadu an la ilaha illa ant, aAAoothu bika min sharri nafsee wamin sharrish-shaytani washirkih, waan aqtarifa AAala nafsee soo-an aw ajurrahu ila muslim.
O Allah, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Creator of the heavens and the Earth, Lord and Sovereign of all things, I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except You. I take refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil and shirk of the devil, and from committing wrong against my soul or bringing such upon another Muslim.
Bismil-lahil-lathee la yadurru maAAas-mihi shay-on fil-ardi wala fis-sama-i wahuwas-sameeAAul-AAaleem.
In the name of Allah with whose name nothing is harmed on earth nor in the heavens and He is The All-Seeing, The All-Knowing.
Radeetu billahi rabban wabil-islami deenan wabiMuhammadin sal Allah wa alahe wa nabiyya. sal allah wa aalihi wa sallim
I am pleased with Allah as a Lord, and Islam as a religion and Muhammad peace be upon to him as a Prophet. peace and blessings be upon him
Ya hayyu ya qayyoom, birahmatika astagheeth, aslih lee sha/nee kullah, wala takilnee ila nafsee tarfata AAayn.
O Ever Living, O Self-Subsisting and Supporter of all, by Your mercy I seek assistance, rectify for me all of my affairs and do not leave me to myself, even for the blink of an eye.
Amsayna wa-amsal-mulku lillahi rabbil-AAalameen, allahumma innee as-aluka khayra hathihil-laylah, fat-haha, wanasraha, wanooraha, wabarakataha, wahudaha, wa-aAAoothu bika min sharri ma feeha washarri ma baAAdaha.
‘We have reached the evening and at this very time all sovereignty belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the good of tonight, its triumphs and its victories, its light and its blessings and its guidance, and I take refuge in You from the evil of tonight and the evil that follows it.’
Amsayna AAala fitratil-islam, waAAala kalimatil-ikhlas, waAAala deeni nabiyyina Muhammad sallallahu wa aalihi wa sallim waAAala millati abeena Ibraheem, haneefan musliman wama kana minal-mushrikeen.
Note: for the evening, one reads amsayna instead of asbahna.
‘We rise upon the fitrah of Islam, and the word of pure faith, and upon the religion of our Prophet Muhammad and the religion of our forefather Ibraheem, who was a Muslim and of true faith and was not of those who associate others with Allah.’
La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulk, walahul-hamd, wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeer.
‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise and He is over all things omnipotent.’
Subhanal-lahi wabihamdih, AAadada khalqihi warida nafsih, wazinata AAarshih, wamidada kalimatih.
‘How perfect Allah is and I praise Him by the number of His creation and His pleasure, and by the weight of His throne, and the ink of His words.’
Allahumma inni as'aluka 'Ilman naafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan
O Allah! I ask You for knowledge that is of benefit, a good provision and deeds that will be accepted.
aAAoothu bikalimatil-lahit-tammati min sharri ma khalaq
I take refuge in Allah’s perfect words from the evil He has created.
Allahumma salli wa sallim ala nabina Muhammad
O Allah send Your Peace and Blessings upon Muhammad

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيـرُكَ بِعِلْمَكَ، وَأسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الَأمْرَ (وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَه) خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي، فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي، فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ 74. Allaahumma 'innee 'astakheeruka bi'ilmika, wa 'astaqdiruka biqudratika, wa 'as'aluka min fadhtikal-'Adheemi, fa'innaka taqdiru wa laa 'aqdiru, wa ta'lamu, wa laa 'a'lamu, wa 'Anta 'Allaamul-Ghuyoobi, Allaahumma 'in kunta ta'lamu 'anna haathal-'amra-(then mention the thing to be decided) Khayrun lee fee deenee wa ma'aashee wa 'aaqibati 'amree, faqdurhu lee wa yassirhu lee thumma baarik lee feehi, wa 'in kunta ta'lamu 'anna haathal-'amra sharrun lee fee deenee wa ma'aashee wa 'aaqibati 'amree, fasrifhu 'annee wasrifnee 'anhu waqdur liyal-khayra haythu kaana thumma 'ardhinee bihi. 74. O Allah, I seek the counsel of Your Knowledge, and I seek the help of Your Omnipotence, and I beseech You for Your Magnificent Grace. Surely, You are Capable and I am not. You know and I know not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter (mention the matter) is good for me in my religion and in my life and for my welfare in the life to come in both the short term and the long term, then ordain it for me and make it easy for me, then bless me in it. And if You know that this matter is bad for me in my religion and in my life and for my welfare in the life to come in both the short term and the long term, then distance it from me, and distance me from it, and ordain for me what is good wherever it may be, and help me to be content with it. https://go.muslimpro.com/eCB7
