2. Translation:
(There is no god but Allah, the Ever-Clement, and the Most Generous. I celebrate the
Glory of Allah, the Lord of the Magnificent Throne. All praise and thanks are due to
Allah, Lord of the worlds. I beseech you, seeking that which will draw me closer to your
mercy, and that which will make certain for me Your Forgiveness. O Allah, grant me
protection against any sin, and a share of every virtue. Do not leave me a sin without
forgiving it, a worry without relieving me of it, or a need that meets with your pleasure
without providing for it, O Most Merciful Lord.)

3. Suggestions from God - Salah tul Istikhara
"Istikhara" means to seek goodness from Allah (Exalted is He), meaning when one
intends to do an important task they do Istikhara before the task. The one who does the
Istikhara is as if they request Allah Almighty that, O the Knower of Unseen (Exalted is
He) guide me if this task is better for me or not?
According to Bukhari, Volume 2, Book 21, Number 263:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah :The Prophet (Sallal Laho Alaihi Wasallam) used to teach
us the way of doing Istikhara, in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the Quran. He
said, "If anyone of you thinks of doing any job he should offer a two Rakat prayer other
than the compulsory ones and say (after the prayer):
WAY TO PERFORM ISTIKHARA:
First pray Two Cycles (raka') of ritual Prayer (nafil) such that in the first raka' after
Surah Fatiha (Allhamd…) recite Surah al-Kafirun (Chapter 109) and in the second raka'
after Fatiha (Allhamd…) recite Surah al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112). After finishing prayer
recite this (supplication/dua'): Dua in Arabic Text above.
TRANSLATION: "O Allah! I seek goodness from Your Knowledge and with Your
Power (and Might) I seek strength, and I ask from You Your Great Blessings, because
you have the Power and I do not have the power. You know everything and I do not
know, and you have knowledge of the unseen. Oh Allah! If in Your Knowledge this
action ------------------------------------------------ (which I intend to do) is better for my
religion and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter
then make it destined for me and make it easy for me and then add blessings [baraka']
in it, for me. O Allah! In Your Knowledge if this action is bad for me, bad for my religion
and faith, for my life and end [death], for here [in this world] and the hereafter then
turn it away from me and turn me away from it and whatever is better for me, ordain
[destine] that for me and then make me satisfied with it."
How many times?
It depends. Sometimes it takes only once to get the answer and sometimes it takes
longer. It is better to do Istikhara seven (7) times. If you have received an answer as
explained in the section below, stop doing Istikhara. You do not have to continue to do
Istikhara for 7 days. It is better that right after reciting the supplication, given above,
sleep with ablution (people who cannot keep the ablution for longer times due to health
problems do not have to worry about ablution before falling asleep) facing the direction
of the Qibla (facing the Qibla is not required but it is a Sunnat of our beloved Prophet
Peace Be Upon Him). It is better to recite salutations (durood/ salawat) on the Prophet
Allah's Grace and Peace be upon him before and after the above Dua (supplication).

4. Answer:
If in the dream one sees whiteness (means anything white in color, for example: milk,
white paper, white sky, white clothes, white light etc.) or greenness (means anything
green in color, for example: grass, plants, trees, green clothes, green light etc.) then
understand that this task is better and if one sees redness (means anything red in color,
for example: blood, red clothing, red fruit, red light etc.) or blackness (means anything
black in color, for example: black water, black light, black clothing, black sky, black wall
etc. ) then understand it is bad and avoid it.
If do not remember any dream or do not see any colors then follow your heart. Whatever
intention grows stronger in your heart regarding your targeted work follow it after seven
days of Istikhara.
