SALAATUL ISTIKHAARAH
"Istikhaarah"
means to seek goodness. Here it means the way of seeking advice and
goodness from Allah Ta'aala. Salaatul Istikhaarah consists of two
Raka'ats. When one intends to embark on any project, e.g. trade
journey, marriage, etc, then one should seek the advice of Allah
Ta'aala, and make dua for protection and goodness. According to the
Hadith of our Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) it is only an
unfortunate person who fails to seek the aid, advice and goodness of
Allah Ta'aala when intending to embark upon something. The Hadith
Shareef has exhorted much the observance of Salaatul Istikhaarah.
InshaAllah, you will not regret if you make this Salaat and only
thereafter decide whether to proceed with the intended project or
cancel it.
