Learn, Love & Live the Quran

Assalaamualikum Friend,

Hope you had a lovely week. This week I wanted to write about several topics and one specific topic I wanted to focus on was Salatul Isthikara.

Many people think that when you are confused between Options A, B, or C, then you do Salatul Isthikara. That's not necessarily the case. Salatul Isthikara should be performed when you are already leaning towards a decision and need God's final guidance.

The keyword here is leaning. You have to do your background research, consult with experts, etc, and come up with a decision and then ask Allah SWT for his final guidance as he knows what's best for us. We might think that something might be good for us but in actuality it might not be, and Allah SWT knows best.

Read on to learn more about Salatul Isthikara and the common questions about it!

Sincerely,

Is that even possible? What if I told you I can tel you of one person with all these qualities together? & does that get even harder to digest when I tell you that that awsome personality is a woman? let us see who is it...
