Interpretation of Istikhara

:salam:

How does one interpret the response to an Istikhara prayer?

How do you know if it’s good for you or otherwise?

Are the feelings in the stomach (as in butterflies, nervousness), heart (as in at peace or heavy-hearted) or brain (as in logical, not emotional)?

Does the response to istikhara come in the form of a dream, feeling, obstacles/ease of path, or signs?

Also, should Istikhara be performed seven times continously?

Any response or personal experience would be much appreciated.

Re: Interpretation of Istikhara

Hi my personal experience was I just got a negative feeling. To be honest it was after either the 1st or 2nd Istikara. I was just think of that thing/I actually just felt really negative and the scary thing was the 2nd time I did it I actually found out something negative/bad that person had done by pure coincidence.

I also did it another time for something different and I only did it once and remember waking up and remembering the dream. I was sure i saw the thing i was praying about/colour red. I'm sure I read somewhere the colour red indicates a no/negative.

Hope that helped in some way!

this subject has been discussed in many threads...i think that's why you aren't getting much response.
