Do this when making a decision 💭 Istikhara Dua

Every major decision in your life has the power to change your future. A marriage. A job. A business. A move. A friendship. A path. And the reality is that no matter how intelligent, experienced, or prepared you are, you cannot see what lies ahead. But Allah can. That is why the Prophet ﷺ taught us Ṣalāt al-Istikhārah. Not because we lack intelligence. But because we lack knowledge of the unseen. Before making a decision, pray two rakʿahs and ask Allah to guide you towards what is best and turn you away from what is harmful. Sometimes the answer comes as ease. Sometimes it comes as obstacles. Sometimes a door opens. Sometimes a door closes. Both can be mercy. The greatest mistake is thinking that every closed door is a loss. Perhaps Allah saved you from a regret you would have carried for years. Perhaps the opportunity you are chasing is not the blessing you imagine it to be. Trust the One who knows what you do not know. And remember: A believer never truly loses after Istikhārah. Because even if things do not go according to their plan, they are still unfolding according to Allah’s perfect plan. May Allah guide us to what is best, protect us from what is harmful, and place contentment in our hearts with whatever He decrees. Ameen 🤲
