There have been many traditions
(Ahadith) narrated from the Ahlul
Bayt (pbut) concerning the
importance of Istikhara, here are a
few of them for you:
Narrated from Abi Abdullah (Imam
Ja’far As-Sadiq) (pbuh): “Pray two
Rakats and seek what is best from
Allah (Istakhar), for by Allah, there
has not been a Muslim who asks
Allah what is best (by Istikhara),
except that He chooses what is
best for him.” [Wasa’il Al Shia /
Door of Prayer and Istikhara].
And from him (pbuh): “Whomever
seeks Allah’s guidance (does
Istikhara) while being content/
satisfied with whatever He
chooses, then Allah certainly
chooses what is best for
him.” [Same source].
And from him (pbuh): “We used to
learn how to seek Allah’s guidance
(Istikhara), as we used to learn the
chapter from the Qur’an.” Then he
said: “If I do Istikhara I do not care
Istikhara) and the response comes
on which side I fall.” [Same source]. back with what he hates so he
And many more than that, and there becomes angry/discontent because
have been traditions narrated
forbidding the disagreeing with the
of that, verily, that is the one who
accuses Allah.” [Same Source].
