Salat-al-Istikhara in Urdu
Salat-al-Istikhara is the special prayer that we do in Islam to ask Allah to guide us to the best course of action in any matter. There are many misconceptions about the Istikhara prayer, so we have provided many Istikhara resources on this website and will continue adding to them Insha'Allah. Please browse the front page menus to see some of the other postings on Istikhara.
For those of you who speak and read Urdu, here is the Istikhara duaa in Urdu, and the English meaning below that.
Istikhara Prayer in Urdu
Salat al-Istikhara in Urdu
Salat-al-Istikhara meaning in English:
"O Allaah, I seek Your counsel by Your knowledge and by Your power I seek strength and I ask You from Your immense favour, for verily You are able while I am not and verily You know while I do not and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allaah, if You know this affair - and here he mentions his need - to be good for me in relation to my religion, my life, and end, then decree and facilitate it for me, and bless me with it, and if You know this affair to be ill for me towards my religion, my life, and end, then remove it from me and remove me from it, and decree for me what is good wherever it be and make me satisfied with such."

Ager ap k naseeb ma shadi hay to ap ko fikar karny ki zururat nai...ap Allah se dua karti rhay..Jab Allah na caha to ap ki shadi ho jy ge Inshallah..Pershan hony ki zururat nai....
Translated by IslamicAnswers Editor as:
If marriage is in your destiny, you have no need to worry. Continue making dua to Allah. When Allah wants you to marry, it will happen inshaAllah. Theres no need to worry.

Ismail,
Please read the information provided on this website about istikhara. We are not a business who do istikharas for people, nor is this the Islamic way. You and the girl in question are the ones who want to marry, so you should both do Istikhara yourselves. At the same time, please be wary that Rasul(sws) said 'nikah without wali is invalid, invalid, invalid'. If you have any fear of Allah, you will refrain from encouraging any girl to marry you against her parents wishes.
If you have any further questions, please log in and submit your question as a separate post.
May Allah guide us all, aameen!

MUJHE KYA KARNA CHAHIYE YEH TO AP NE BATAYA NAHI ?
Ismail bhai apko khud istikhara karna chahiyay. Agar Allah swt ki marzi hai tou aapki Anum se shaadi zaroor hogi insh'Allah. Lekin agar istikhara sahi nahi aata tou aapko bhi Allah swt ki marzi maanni chayay and just move on. Har cheez me koi behtari hoti hai mere bhai.
Aap Isha ki namaz ke baad (after witr's) aik aur 2 rakat ki namaz parhain aur dua mein istikhara ki dua parhain aur Allah swt se guidance maangain ke agar Anum aapke liyay sahi hai ke nahi. Oske parents ki marzi ke bagair please shaadi na kerna.
Ps. Why ask other people to do an istikhara for you when you have the ability and the opportunity to getting direct guidance from Allah swt? Hope everything works out well for You, Anum and both of your families insh'Allah.

I cannot understand your comment, but presumably you are asking about the proper way of doing Istikhara, or about interpreting the "results" of Istikhara. Please read the articles we have posted about Istikhara to get the proper understanding.

Readers/Writers,
If you all took a few minutes to actually read our articles here on istikhara, you would find the answers to your queries.
Istikhara is not a machine in which you insert your names and hey presto, you get an answer. And neither is this website here to conduct istikharas on anyone's behalf. Please read the information provided in the links above to learn what istikhara is about.

Salam Aleykum, there would not be so much problems in a married life if both wife and husband start to tacke care of their responsibiltys rather than wishing and dreaming how the wife or husband should be
Hmm, I agree. If each spouse gave deep care and attention to their 'duties' rather than their 'rights', both would be happier! Wise words old' man.

Asalam'u aleykum, I did read that you were open for advice, its not related to the topic directly, but the way brothers and sisters are asking regarding Istikhara.
Sorry for my poor english. please do correct me in the light of Quran and Authentich Hadith if i make any mistake regarding deen of Allah swt and his prophet Saws.
For people from Pakistan who realy are away from Quran and Sunnah, I humbly advice you to listen to Sheik Tauseef Ur-Rehman in youtube, his lectures are mostly in urdu, so it will InshaALLAH BENEFIT them a lot of his lectures if they are searching for knowledge.
you can also look at his homepage: http://www.tauseef-ur-rehman.co.cc/
Stay away from bidah:
The Messenger of Allaah (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) said: "Every innovation is misguidance and going astray" Reported by Abu Daawood (no. 4607), at-Tirmidhee (no. 2676) and it is saheeh. Ibn Hajr authenticated it Takhreej Ahaadeeth Ibn ul-Haajib (1/137).
And he (sallallaahu alaihi wasallam) also said: "… and every innovation is misguidance and all misguidance is in the Hellfire." Reported by an-Nasaa'ee (1/224) from Jaabir bin Abdullaah and it is saheeh as declared by Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah in Majmoo' ul-Fataawaa (3/58).
“Iblees (Satan) loves Bid’ah (innovation) more than debauchery and disobedience because the harm of Bid’ah is in the essence of the religion.”
Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
mery abu cars ki sale purchase ka kam krty hain 3month pele aik car le the wo sale nai hui or us ko kisi or car se exchange kya or wo car abi tk sale nai hui or koi kam sahi nai ho raha
ap ye bta dain ke ye gari kb sale ho ge or sale na hony ki waga kya hi ?
plz plz
Brother,
What your father should do for his business to prosper is seek some business advice regarding 'car sales'. He should also do dua to Allah(swt) to help his business prosper and also at the same time learn how to do istikhara properly. Please ask your father to read the links we have provided here on Istikhara in Urdu, and it would be good if you also read them.

Ibn 'Umar (A.S.) narrated that the Prophet (PBUH) said:
"The keys of the Ghayb (Unseen) are five and no one but Allah the Almighty knows them: No human soul knows what it will earn tomorrow; No one knows by how much the wombs fall short (of their time) but Allah; No one know when it will rain but Allah; No human soul knows in what land it will die; No one knows when the Hour will be but Allah."
As you can see, one of the things mentioned that no one knows except Allah, is what a man will earn tomorrow. In other words, how much money he will make, what he will buy or sell, etc.
Anyone who claims to be able to tell you the future in such matters is a fraud and a taghoot.
