"And with Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except Him..." 📚Al-An'am 6:59

For this reason,

Anyone who (for any reason) go for checking why so so and happened or what will happen in future have not only committed the biggest of all sins but will (1) have his/her 40 days swalah rejected (2) will spend money without having aim achieved. Yes. Because we have seen many people not getting what they wanted even after following the evil way.

Muslim Faithful,

ISTIKHARAH is the only permissible way to seek for Allah's guidance in taking or making decisions. Also, if you can not say istikharah Du'a in Arabic, you can say it in English or any language (as translated in the previous episodes).

*Istikhara for marriage and love:*

Marriage is one of life's most pivotal decisions, shaping the course of our existence in myriad ways. It dictates the building of a family, the rhythms of daily life, the habits we cultivate, and the passions we pursue together. This singular relationship can influence the trajectory of our future in terms of career, wealth, health, and overall well-being. It is little wonder, then, that we seek Allah's comprehensive guidance during this crucial decision-making process.

Istikhara for marriage is perhaps the most common, and it is during these times that impatience often surfaces.
Yet, delays before marriage offer a profound opportunity for introspection and a closer connection to Allah. Continuous du'a nurtures a deep relationship with the Responder, Al-Mujeeb. The experiences and trials encountered in this interim period are essential for personal growth and preparation. Just as the Prophet’s ﷺ journey was marked by hardships before reaching Madinah, our challenges serve as necessary steps toward our ultimate goals.

When we are sincere in our istikhara, sincere in asking for this proposal to be easy and blessed, or taken away and our hearts be content: the answer will be obvious. Allah will make things easy if this person is good for your deen, dunya, and akhira or Allah will make things difficult and move your heart away from this person. In the end, you aren’t seeking happiness: you are seeking contentment and solace. Allah is the Creator of hearts, the turner of hearts, and the mender of hearts. The ending of the istikhara du’a is a plea for peace within our hearts.
Keep in mind that there are general du’as for marriage and love. We should say these du’as throughout our day, because even the prophets made du’a for these things: Du’a for marriage from the Qur’an

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّـٰتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍۢ وَٱجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

Transliteration:

Rabbana hablana min azwaajina wa dhuriyyatina qurrata A’yunin waj’alna lil- muttaqina imama

Translation:

Our Lord! Bless us with pious spouses and offspring who will be the joy of our hearts, and make us models for the righteous. 📚[Qur’an 25:74]
