Wasim Kempson – How to Pray Istikhara

			Smilla Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah Salam alaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh My dear
brothers and sisters
		

			I want to mention to you a very beautiful Hadith a very important Hadith, which is in the sahih of
enamel Buhari. And is the hadith of Jabil Radi Allahu taala, in which he narrates that the Prophet
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would teach them the dua of Al istikhara. Just as that they would be
taught a chapter from the Quran, three a marina Kulina in all of our affairs. This goes to show the
importance of this particular day in the life of every Muslim, but the question is now, what are
some of those rulings and some important points regarding salatu is the hara or the dua of St. Hara.
So in the Hadith mentions, that jabber Radi Allahu Allah said that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi
		

			salam taught us this particular dua, and that it should be offered, ie this dua is offered when a
person offers to raka that is not from the obligatory press. So the person offers to nothing, or to
voluntary rocker, and then makes the drop. The question is now that this particular drop, which is
quite a long drop, and I would recommend my brothers and sisters, to if they don't understand the
Arabic, to go to the Arabic one, find a translation of it, so they can understand the supplication
that they are making.
		

			So this particular Hadith mentions that this dua is to be made at the end of the prayer. Now, is
this while you are in a sitting position, ie that you're still in your prayer, you have not said a
Salam aleykum and that this is the time for you to make the dura or is it that you make to raka you
complete, you make taslim and then you make the DUA, afterwards,
		

			from the outset, we will say that both are permissible, it is allowed for you to make this
particular dua while in the Salah, just before you make to Salim and it is also permitted for you to
do that when you have completed these two Raka and then you make the DUA afterwards, she quickly
celebrity multimedia like him a whole lotta fall in line with many of their odema they state that it
is probably better to make the DUA while you are actually in the prayer while in that sitting
position, just as the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam would do regularly while in that sitting
position is to make lots and lots of data. So this is the first thing in shadow data when to make
		

			this particular draft and we said that both are valid. Okay, and above a couple of issues Inshallah,
to Allah, what is the purpose of salata, istikhara or the director of listening Farah, we should
first of all realize that I'm seeking Allah subhanaw taala guidance on the matter, but what is
recommended as Imam and now we got a hammer Hola, he mentions that you make an SD Shara capital
istikhara is that you consult people before you actually offer this draft. And what we mean by to
consult others is that speak to somebody who you believe can give you a beneficial advice about a
matter which you are not sure what choice to make. Now, these matters are not in volved with word
		

			uebert obligatory matters or to do with haram because you have to fulfill that matter there is no
istikhara and wajib or for example, in something which is haram, there is no choice in the matter in
the Haram you have to stay away from it, or mcru hurt or things which are disliked you have to work,
at least you should stay away from it. At least the horror is done in matters of Alaba those matters
which are allowed for you. Okay, and that you're not sure what is better for you, should you should
you do this? Or should you do that, or even you may have more than two matters to make a choice
over. So it is important for you to consult with somebody who can give you a beneficial advice about
		

			the matter, not for them to make the choice for you. This is very important when you consult you're
not asking people to make that decision for you. Ultimately, the decision must be yours. So you
consult before you make the STR once you have consulted one or two or maybe three trusted people. It
is not as I want to consult as many people as I can because that may create confusion. But you ask
one or two people whom that you see feel that you can benefit from and then after that, you make the
DUA in the prep.
		

			Another important matter for us to discuss is for our sisters, but there are certain two
		

			times of the month, where they are not offering their Salah due to the cycle that they have. What
did they do in this situation is allowed for them just to make the DUA alone without the Salah,
knowing that they cannot pray. Absolutely they can in shadow to Allah. So it is allowed for the
woman who is on a monthly cycle just to make the DUA alone. Do outisde Hora concerning that matter
which she is not sure about and remembering brothers and sisters, this is not to do with matters
which is an obligation or haram or something which is disliked. We're talking about matters which
are just permitted for you and you're not sure what to do.
		

			Now the DUA itself can be found in the fortress of the Muslim and I would recommend you all
inshallah to Allah to go through it with its meanings and this is the dua.
		

			Okay, brothers, sisters, this being the draw, remembering that you understand what it means that
you're seeking Allah subhanaw taala as guidance in that matter, once the decision has been made, but
you have no regret after that. You shouldn't be saying to yourself, if I had done this, or if I had
done that, you consulted you may do Allah to Allah subhanaw taala you made the decision. And this
was the best and the plan of Allah subhanaw taala is always the best. May Allah subhanaw taala guide
us to that what is best mean? was salam aleikum wa rahmatullah wa barakato.
