Question ID: 1788 Category: Interpretation of Dreams
Dream Interpretation and or Istikhara

Hello , I had a question regarding istikhara. I am in the process of getting married iA and I have read istikhara multiple times.The first time I read istikhara, I went to sleep sleeping very very calm and happy being immediately reminded of her many good qualities as I was in the process of falling asleep mA and in general felt some type of calmness in my heart that I can not exactly put into words but would define as peace . After that istikhara,aH everything went very smoothly with both of the families and there is a mutual understanding that the nikkhah will be done at the end of the year when we both graduate iA. I also read istikhara again a few days ago after a small misunderstanding happend beetween us and went to sleep seeing a dream where someone said she would be a bad wife(her first name and my last name even though she told me she would not want to change her name to which I had no objection) with it almost sounding studdered and like it was saying she would be a bad husband even though she’s a girl. Without going into too much detail, when I did read istikhara that day I was a little confused and upset on the fact that she was a little upset that I didn’t message her back to just let her know where I was for a few hours . I did some research and found out that shaytan can also appear in your dream and try to distract you in your dream. I have also seen other dreams recently telling me to come back to some very bad habits that I used to have that aH I have left in the past and hope to keep that way. Also, just yesterday I have heard 2 speeches talking about how girls and guys are different and that you must deal with them with patience and understand there’s some things they will care about that u might not. At first, I didn’t understand why she would care I didn’t message her back for a few hours but looking back at it, I realized it was not a big deal at all and that just because I wouldn’t care about something like that doesn’t mean she wouldn’t. Also, we talked about this in person as well with her explaining to me her side and me letting her know my side to which she responded very well to and said she understood and would not make it a big deal again and was sorry. I was wondering if I could get some clarification on this bad phrase in my sleep please. I do truly believe she would be a very good spouse based on the facts that their has been a really bad addiction that I have been able to give up since she entered aH and have been motivated to be way more consistent with my prayers aH and been more closer to my deen aH and my whole family is also fond of her and has no objections even though it took some convinving to convince them to pursue marraige at such a young age. I will read istikhara again but was wondering if I could get some help on this matter.

الجواب وباللہ التوفیق

The main thing in “Istikhara” is the inclination and preference of the heart.

In the direction of good, God willing, the heart will be inclined towards it and its good will be clear. And if on the side of evil, the heart will turn away from it.

Since you have performed “Istikhara” several times, and family members are satisfied and happy with this relationship, you do not need to perform “Istikhara” anymore.

Contemplate the objectives of marriage in “Shariah” and get married. It is not appropriate to delay marriage after finding a suitable relationship In-Shaa Allah, it will be successful.
