What Is Dua Istikhara? (دوہ استخارہ کیا ہے؟)
The Dua Istikhara (دوہ استخارہ) is a highly revered prayer among Muslims, especially in the UK and UAE. Millions turn to this sacred supplication when faced with major life decisions. The word Istikhara literally means “seeking goodness” from Allah (SWT) in times of confusion or uncertainty.
Key Facts About Dua Istikhara:
- Origin: Directly taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through authentic Hadith
- Purpose: To seek Allah’s guidance for important matters such as marriage, business, travel, or career choices
- Format: Two rak’at nafl prayer followed by a specific dua
- When to Use: When you feel torn between options or unsure about a path
Important Note: Istikhara is not for choosing between two specific options. It is a prayer asking Allah: “Is this particular matter good for me or not?”
Dua Istikhara Arabic Text (دوہ استخارہ عربی متن)
Here is the authentic Arabic text of Dua Istikhara from the Hadith:
Arabic Script: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلامُ الْغُيُوبِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ [وَيُسَمِّيهِ] خَيْرًا لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ [وَيُسَمِّيهِ] شَرًّا لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَضِنِّي فِيهِ
