How to do Salatul Istikhara

あなたが決断を下す必要があるときにイスティカラを祈る

Performing Istikhara is appropriate whenever you have to make a non-obligatory decision. It’s a powerful prayer of guidance for whenever you are unsure about a decision. Examples could include:

Choosing a university or graduate school.

Deciding whether to take a job offer.

Choosing a spouse. and so on

Perform Istikhara after Salat al-Fajr or Salat al-Lail. It’s always best to recite two rak’ah before asking for guidance. It’s advised to incorporate Istikhara into your morning prayer (Salat al-Fajr) or after Salat al-Lail. Salat al-Lail is a voluntary late night prayer. It does not have a mandated number of rak’ah, but if it you perform it, it must be after the obligatory Isha, or night prayer
