On the authority of Jaabir (radi Allahu anhu) who said, The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would teach us the Istikhaarah in an affair just as he would teach us a surah from the Qur’an, saying,
“When any of you makes up his mind regarding (pursuing) an affair, then let him make two rak’at from other than the compulsory prayers, then he should said, ‘O Allah, I seek your counsel of your knowledge, and I seek the help of your omnipotence, and I beseech you for your Magnificent Grace. You know and I know not, and you are the knower of the unseen. O Allaah, if you know this matter (mention the matter you need to be decided) is good for me in my religion and in my life and for my welfare in the life to come, then ordain it for me and make it easy for me, then bless it for me. And if you know this matter (mention the matter you need to be decided) is bad for me in my religion and in my life to come, then distance it from me and distance me from it. And ordain for me what is good wherever it may be and help me to be content with it.’ ” [Bukhaari]
Shaikhul Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullah) said,
“Whoever seeks the counsel of the Creator and the advice of the believers, will feel confident about his decision will not regret it. Allah says in the Qur’an,
وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الأَمْرِ فَإِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّهِ
“And consult them in the affair. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah.” [Aali Imraan: 159]
And Qataadah (rahimahullah) said,
“No people seek counsel desiring the face of Allah except that Allah guides them in their affair.”
