Supplication for the Prayer of Istikharah - Hisn al-Muslim

1/1 ❀

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 -وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَهُ- خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي -أَوْ قَالَ: عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ- فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي، وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي، ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي -أَوْ قَالَ: عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ- فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ (1). وما ندم من استخار الخالق، وشاور المخلوقين المؤمنين وتثبَّت في أمره؛ فقد قال الله سبحانه وتعالى: ۞وَشَاوِرۡهُمۡ فِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِۖ فَإِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِۚ(2).

Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi'ilmika, wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, wa as'aluka min fadlika al-'azim, fa innaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru, wa ta'lamu wa la a'lamu, wa anta 'allamu al-ghuyub. Allahumma in kunta ta'lamu anna hadha al-amra -wa yusammi hajatahu- khayrun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa 'aqibati amri -aw qala: 'ajilihi wa ajilihi- fa-qdirhu li, wa yassirhu li, thumma barik li fih. Wa in kunta ta'lamu anna hadha al-amra sharrun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa 'aqibati amri -aw qala: 'ajilihi wa ajilihi- fa-srifhu 'anni wa-srifni 'anh, wa-qdir li al-khayra haythu kana thumma ardini bih.

O Allah, I seek Your guidance by Your knowledge, and I seek Your decree by Your power, and I ask You from Your immense bounty. For indeed, You are able and I am not, and You know and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter (and he names his need) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair—or he said: in its immediate and future aspects—then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and then bless me in it. And if You know that this matter is evil for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affair—or he said: in its immediate and future aspects—then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me good wherever it may be, and then make me content with it. And whoever seeks guidance from the Creator and consults the believing creatures and is deliberate in his affair will never regret; for Allah, the Exalted, says: "And consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah."
