About Salat al-Istikharah

Question:

Salaam,
I have always wondered why, that whenever I perform Salat al-Istikharah, I never feel satisfied about the matter at hand. I never see a dream, or anything. I understand that Istikharah can be a means of help, an opening or an unveiling from Allah (jwa) and that you don’t have to see a dream as such. There are also many methods that are used by people, I have used several including those from the Sunnah. Yet why is this happening? What can Istikharah be used for?

Answer:

Alaykum salam,
When you consult someone they often reply with advice. Allah Most High
is quicker to advise but we tend to be impatient or inattentive.
