Marriage After Istikhara
Istikhara asks Allah for goodness in a decision—including marriage. It complements research and family advice; it does not replace asking hard questions or verifying a profile.
How to approach istikhara for marriage
Learn the dua and prayer from a reliable source. Make istikhara when you have a concrete proposal or serious option—not for vague browsing.
Clarity may come as ease, obstacles, or changed feelings over time. Consult elders if you feel stuck.
