2. Why it is Important ?
• Sometimes it is the smallest decision that can change your life
forever. (Kerri Russel)
• Big journey begins with small steps.
3. Think !
• Thinking means brainstorming, analysing, drawing from
your experience.
• Many people don’t think before they decide.
4. Research/Consult:

• Look around, ask around, consult others.
• Bounce ideas from family friends and really exhaust every
possible means of understanding the implications of your
decisions.
5. Istikhara:
• Allah knew that it would be very hard for us to make
decisions easily.
• So He opens special lines of communication for us to
Him when it comes to decision.
• Istikhara prayer is one of them.
• If you’ve true believe in your Dua, Allah will make you
take a ‘good’ decision.
6. Decide/Action:
• After asking Allah via Istikhara prayer, DECIDE, take action and
jump into your decision.
• Make the decision and act upon it quickly before Shaytaan comes
to whisper in your mind and puts doubt.
7. Dua/Tawakkal:
• It’s not over yet, after making some decisions, take some
actions.
• Make Dua and have trust in Allah.
• You may have made a decision, but to follow through a
decision correctly needs lots of Dua and trust in Allah.
• Making decision is not easy but just make decisions using
five steps whether decisions are small or big.
