Du’a of Istikharah اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ 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 لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ O Allah, I seek Your guidance (in making a choice) by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power, and I do 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 thing to be decided] is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, my worldly affairs, and in the Hereafter then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if You know that this matter is bad for me in my religion, my livelihood, my worldly affairs, and in the Hereafter then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me the good wherever it may be and make me content with it. [Sahih al-Bukhari 6382] A full ebook including transliteration and gems will be available on Arafah!

Brothers and Sisters. If you saw my comment, pls kindly thumbs-up to send reminder to me to always perform istikharah..😢
Key takeaways: 1. Make istikhara a daily habit, you will have more clarity in your life. 2. Know the very fact that Allaah has given you the ability to pray istikhara, Allaah wants goodness for you.

SHEIK OMAR SULEIMAN. A GIFT FROM ALLAH TO THIS UMMAH AND WORLD 🌎♥🙏❤💖💕🌎
FINALLY! Someone has said it. I always felt uncomfortable with the notion that the answer to my Salatul Istikhara will be seen in my dreams and/or colours I have or haven’t seen in said dreams. May Allah (Subḥānahu wa-taʿālā) bless the Yaqeen team with khayr for putting together this video and for sharing this valuable insight. Ameen.
Wow, this is one of the best tafsirs on istikhara. May Almighty Allah continue to give Sheikh Omar Suleiman increasing wisdom.

Istikhara Dua: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمَكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِك وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيم فَإِنَّك تَقْدِر وَلَا أَقْدِر وَتَعْلَم وَلَا أَعْلَم وَأَنْت عَلَّام الْغُيُوب اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْت تَعْلَم أَن هَذَا الْأَمْر-- خَيْر لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْري فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيه وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَم أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْر-- شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْث كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِه The two "--" means the places where the person mentions his affair Transliteration: Allaahumma ‘innee ‘astakheeruka bi ‘ilmika, wa ‘astaqdiruka bi qudratika, wa as’aluka min fadhlikal-‘Adheemi, fa ‘innaka taqdiru wa laa ‘aqdiru, wa ta’lamu, wa laa ‘a’lamu, wa ‘Anta ‘Allaamul Ghuyoobi, Allaahumma in kunta ta’lamu ‘anna haadhal-amra - [then mention the thing to be decided] khayrun lee fee deenee wa ma’aashee wa ‘aaqibati ‘amree - [or say] ‘Aajilihi wa ‘aajilihi - Faqdurhu lee wa yassirhu lee thumma baarik lee feehi, wa ‘in kunta ta’lamu ‘anna hathal ‘amra, sharrun lee fee deenee wa ma’aashi wa ‘aaqibati ‘amree - [or say] ‘Aajilihi wa ‘aajilihi - Fasrifhu ‘annee wasrifnee ‘anhu waqdur liyal-khayra haythu kaana thumma ‘ardhinee bihi Translation: O Allaah I request of You with Your knowledge, and by Your Power I seek capability, and I ask of you of your great favour, since indeed You are the One who is able while I am not, and You know and I do not, and You are the One who knows the unseen. O Allaah if You know that this matter - here he mentions his need - is good for me in this world and for my living and for the matters of my Hereafter - or he said, for my affairs now and the future - then decree it for me and make it easy for me and bless it for me. And if You know that this matter is evil for me in this world and for my life and for the matters of my Hereafter - or he said, for my affairs now and the affairs of my future - then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree goodness for me where ever it may be and make me pleased with it.

Dr. Omar Suleiman so beautifully summarized the topic. And his calming, soothing voice just makes it even better.
Whoever is mindful of Allah, He will make a way out for them and provide for them from sources they could never imagine. And whoever puts their trust in Allah, then He ˹alone˺ is sufficient for them. Quran At-Talaq

By Allah who owns by soul and rizq, I came on KZread to search on something about istihara to refresh my knowledge and all, and this was just on my timeline without searching Subhanallah. Alhamdulillah it is all encompassing. Shukran Dr. Omar. May Allah accept all your effort and also make us all better people. Amin Ya Mujeeb. Amin Ya Quddus.
This is how teaching is done. Breaking it down amking it palatable and explaining with evidence. not forcing down ..Allah SWT bless you
Truly an over-due and well needed explanation for us Muslims. My mother has taught me the importance of doing istikhara daily. I have noticed that culturally there are many misunderstandings regarding Istikhara, people think someone else has to do it for them and they see colours etc. A reminder for us to always refer back to the sunnah for the full explanation. Jazak Allah Khair for this.
English Translation: O Allah, I seek Your Guidance in making a choice by virtue of Your Knowledge, and I ask You by Your Great Bounty, and You have Power and I have none. For verily You Know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if in Your Knowledge You Know that this matter is good for me in my religion, in my livelihood and in the final outcomes of my affairs, ordain it for me, make it easy for me , and bless it for me. If in Your Knowledge, O Allah, You Know this is going to be bad for me in my religion, bad for me in my livelihood, or bad for me in the final outcomes of my affairs, then do not decree it for me. Take it away from me, turn me away from it, and ordain for me good, wherever it may be; make me pleased with it, O Allah.
After Ramadan series another amazing series started May Allah bless you dr, Omer suleman
Alhamdolillah for bringing me to listen to this today. I do istakhara everyday for every little thing in my life. Many times I don’t get a clear answer but I trust Allah will eventually make it right because I asked Allah to make it right for me and He always fulfills his promise.
Indeed Allah knows whats best forr us.....really needed this vdo was struggling with few big decisions of my acadmic life....
MashaAlah excellent sheikh Umar Suleiman 👌👍👌👍🙏 may Almighty Allah bless you and your family and your family and those who bring this video always and protect all of you always 🤲🤲🤲all the best 👌👍👌👍😍😍😍😍
Wallahi this video came at the perfect time
Transliteration: "Allahumma inni astakhiruka wa astaq'diruka bi q'udratika, wa as aluka min fadlikal azeem, fa innaka taqdiruka wla aqdiru wa ta'lamu wla a'lamu wa anta a'llamul gh'ayub, Allahumma in kunta ta'lamu anna hadhal amra khayrulli fi dini wa ma'ashi wa a'aqibati amri faqdurhu li wa yassirhu li thumma barik li fihi wa in kunta t'alamu anna hadhal amra sharrulli fi dini wa ma'ashi wa a'aqibati fasrifhu a'nni wasrifni a'nhu , waq'dur liyal khayra haythu kana thumma ardhini bihi" I have tried my best, you can first listen it in the last of the video along reading it from this text. I have put an ' where the pronunciation of ayn and qaf is recited.

The more I learn about istekhara the more I trust & love ALLAH subhanallah ❤❤
I have been praying to Allah to make him mine in a halal way. I don't know whether Allah will give him to me or not. But I believe that he will give me what is good for me even if it's not something I want. I surrender to him degree. Please pray for me

May Allah give you the one you desire in the halal way and make you both khayr for each other. I think that he is not good for me, but even after praying Istikhara a lot of times i cannot forget him, may Allah make him and his family righteous and practicing if he is my Naseeb.

Jazak Allahu Khair Sheikh Omar, some how i had known the istikharah reality for a few years now. And i along with my mom jad started praying it at the beginning of the day daily. Wallahi so many many many many matters from our daily life have become so swift ever since and we are so much in peace mentally. I consider dua al istikharah as an ultimate gift for the believers for there's nothing else and no other way we'd be able to attain certainty without it. As we've been created with the limitations like time n knowledge. Where as our Rabb has no auch limitations and so to seek his Ultimate support for deciding on matters pertaining to our future ...How would anyone else ever help us? ALLAHU AKBARU KABEERA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Alhamdulillah 🤲. Jazakallah khayr
SubhanAllah.
Jazaku lahu kheiran Akhi
May my Istikhara be answered in the most beautiful way. May Allah turn my hearts towards the person khayr for me, may I begin to like and love only the one khayr for me and may Allah turn my heart away from the one not in my Naseeb. May Allah bless me with an everlasting marriage and a healthy relationship with my spouse. Aameen
