Istikhara London – Authentic Guidance & Services in the UK Capital

Istikhara London refers to the practice of Salat al-Istikhara among Muslims living in or visiting London, the diverse hub for Islamic communities in the UK. Istikhara is a beautiful Sunnah prayer taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to seek Allah's guidance (khair) in major decisions like marriage, career moves, business, family matters, or relocation.

In London, with its large Muslim population and mosques like East London Mosque, London Central Mosque, and others, many seek Istikhara through personal prayer, mosque seminars, or trusted services. Whether you're in East London, North London, or elsewhere, authentic Istikhara brings peace through tawakkul.

How to Perform Istikhara – Sunnah Method

1. Make proper wudu and sincere niyyah for your specific matter.
2. Pray 2 rak'ahs nafl (any permissible time).
3. After salam, raise hands and recite the Istikhara dua, mentioning your issue (e.g., "this marriage in London" or "this job opportunity").
4. Trust Allah – guidance appears through ease, heart inclination, circumstances, or contentment (not always dreams).

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ
