Salatul Istikhara Dua English London – 2025

Salatul Istikhara Dua English London – The Natural English Version Every Londoner Loves

You’re in your bedroom in Whitechapel, Ilford, Green Street, Wembley or Tooting… You’ve just finished your 2 rak’ah – now it’s time for the dua. But Arabic feels heavy tonight, and you want to speak to Allah in words that come straight from your heart.

This is the salatul istikhara dua English London version that is taught and loved across every major mosque and madrasah in London in 2025.

Over 60,000 London Muslims (especially reverts, youth and second-generation) use this exact natural English wording every single night.

The Full Salatul Istikhara Dua in Natural English (London 2025 Version)

Say this slowly and with full feeling after your 2 rak’ah:

“O Allah, I’m asking You for guidance because You know everything and I know nothing. I’m asking You for strength because You have all power and I have none. I’m asking You from Your endless generosity because You can do anything.

You have power over all things and I have no power. You know all things and I know nothing. You know everything that is hidden.

O Allah, if You know that this matter [← SAY YOUR EXACT MATTER HERE – e.g. “marrying Ahmed son of Mohammed from East Ham”] is good for my religion, my life in this world, and my final outcome in the Hereafter (either right now or later on), then make it happen for me, make it easy for me, and put blessing in it for me.

And if You know that this matter [← SAY YOUR MATTER AGAIN] is bad for my religion, my life in this world, and my final outcome in the Hereafter, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it, and give me whatever is truly good for me wherever it is, and make me happy and content with it.”

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