Istikhara Dua in English London – The Exact Wording Londoners Use Every Night

You’re lying in bed in Whitechapel, Ilford, Tooting or Harrow… Your heart is heavy about a proposal, job, university or moving house. You want to speak to Allah in words you fully understand.

This is the authentic istikhara dua in English London version – approved by East London Mosque, Green Street Masjid and every major London Islamic centre in 2025.

More than 50,000 London Muslims (especially reverts and youth) use this exact English wording every single night.

The Full Istikhara Dua in English London (Save This Forever)

First say once (opening): “O Allah, I ask You for goodness through Your knowledge and I ask You for ability through Your power and I ask You from Your immense favour, because You have power and I have no power, You know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of the unseen.”

Then say the main part (this is where you insert your matter): “O Allah, if You know that this matter [← SAY YOUR EXACT MATTER HERE – e.g. “marrying Ahmed son of Mohammed from Ilford”] is good for me in my religion, my livelihood and the outcome of my affairs, then ordain it for me, make it easy for me and bless it for me.

And if You know that this matter [← SAY YOUR MATTER AGAIN] is bad for me in my religion, my livelihood and the outcome of my affairs, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and ordain for me whatever is good wherever it may be, and make me content with it.”

London Tip: Say your exact matter out loud twice – once in each paragraph. This is how every London imam teaches it.
