Istikhara Dua English Translation
“O Allah, I seek Your guidance through Your knowledge, and I seek strength through Your power, and I ask You from Your great bounty. For You have power, and I have no power. You know, and I do not know. You are the Knower of the unseen.
O Allah, if You know that this matter for which Istikhara is being performed is good for me in my religion, my worldly life, and the outcome of my affairs (or good for me in the present and in the future), then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and place blessings in it for me.
And if you know that this matter is bad for me in my religion, my worldly life, and the outcome of my affairs (or bad for me in the present and in the future), then turn it away from me and turn me away from it. Then decree for me whatever is good, wherever it may be, and make my heart satisfied with it.”
The Prophet ﷺ said: “At the place of ‘this matter’, one should mention his specific need.”
Sahih Bukhari, Volume 2, Hadith 1166
