ভূমিকা

The Prophet of Allah said: `Among the felicities of the children of Adam is that he asks the best from Allah and His pleasure in that which Allah has decreed for him. And among the misfortunes of the children of Adam is abandoning the asking of what is best from Allah and not being pleased with what Allah has decreed. " [^1]5 The actual meaning of the word Istikhara is to seek the best from Allah in one's affairs, which is not only commendable, but is also highly recommended (mustahab) in Islam.

" (al‑Qur'an 25-77) In this, the first hadith, before starting any job or action, a supplication, which is a form of Istikhara has been recommended to be performed. We have been told that this is one of the roads that lead to a person's happiness. هر گنج سعادت كه خداً داًد به حافظ اًز يُمن دُعای شب و ورد سحری بود Whatever treasures of happiness that God gave to Hafiz Was from the way of the night supplication and prayers in the morning.

" [^3]7 The method of asking for what is best that has been most often mentioned in the ahadith, including the hadith mentioned above and has been emphasized, is that one in which one asks for the best from Allah in the form of a Dua' (supplication). This type of seeking what is best is not associated with the instance in which a person has a doubt or can not make a decision.
