Re: Istikhara
Salam sac,
I'm not sure about anyone else doing it for you. But the help does come.
Its basically like this, before you go to sleep, read 2 rakat nafls, in the first rakat try to recite surah KAFIROON after Fatihah, in the second rakat try to recite surah IKHLAAS.
Then after read the dua of ishtikharah, and ask whatever you need help in.
The dreams do come, depends tho. Its either dreams that show you certain colours or events. OR- you wake up in the morning, and the first thought that comes to your mind -or feeling.
InshAllah it'll mend your heart towards the right way, or the path you should take in your affair.
Also, its to be repeated for seven days.
May Allah help you in all your affairs, and guide all of us on the straight path. InshAllah, Ameen.
