THE DUA OF ISTIKHAARAH
 
Allahumma inni astakiruka beilmika wa’asthaqdiruka bequdratika wa’asaluka min fazlikal azimi fainnaka taqdiru wala aqdiru wata’lamu wala a’lamu wanta allamal guyub – Allahumma inni kunta ta’lamu Anna hazal amra khaiul lee fee deeni wa’ma’shi wa’qibati amri faqdirho lee wayassirho lee summa barik lee feehi wain kunta ta’lamu Anna hazal amra sharul lee fee deeni wa’ma’shi wa’qibati amri fasrifho anni wasrifni anho waqdirliyal khaira haisu kana summa arzini behi –
Anna hazal amr At this point you will bring to mind the matter for which you are making istikharah.
O Allah, I ask You of good through Your knowledge, and ability through Your power, and beg (Your favor) out of your infinite bounty. For surely You have power, I have none. You know all, I know not. You are the great knower of all the things. O Allah, if in Your knowledge this matter is good for my faith, for my livelihood, and for the consequences of my affairs then ordain it for me and make it easy for me and bless me there in. But, if in Your knowledge this matter is bad for my faith, for my livelihood, and for the consequences of my affairs, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it and ordain for me the good wherever it be, and cause me to be pleased therewith.
After having recited this dua, adopt that aspect towards which the heart is inclined
