QUESTION:
Dear Bilqis,
My sister has lost her Gold chain inside the home and she is very much upset and wants to find out the way in which she can find the lost chain. You are kindly requested to please tell the way of doing Istikharah we will be highly thankful to you.
- Faran from Pakistan
WAEL ANSWERS:
Dear Faran, As-Salamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah,
Istikhara is not appropriate for this situation. Istikhara is for a situation in which you must choose a course of action or make a decision, and you need Allah's guidance and help in making a good choice.
Your sister should simply make duaa' and ask Allah to help her retrieve her item. However, as Muslims we should not focus excessively on these material things. Your sister should also make Duaa' for her aakhirah and her religion, asking Allah for forgiveness, mercy and blessings.
For good information and articles about Duaa', you can see one of my sister websites, http://www.DuaShare.com
If any readers have some additional advice for this questioner, feel free to post your comments below.
Glory to You Allah, we praise You, we bear witness that there is no God except You, we ask Your forgivess and we repent to You.
Best regards,

assalamu alaikum,
i agreeto the fact that we should not give much importance to it but i have been losing gold especially chains .it is bought by the money of my job allah has blessed me with.this is one of my friend's chain ,infact the only one i had.i am going to my homecountry and i thought i should return it.apart from that we are somewhat financially tight so can i get a suggestion to get it back?i hope allah subhan'wa tala gives it for me
🙂
even i lost mine. I thank Ganesha for finding it for me. May Allah help you guys.
ayesha, you do understand that you are not Muslim if you believe such a thing, right? You are a mushrik, one who commits shirk.
