Question:
I have heard that if any unmarried men/women pray Istikhara prayer and see any dream of any women/men then he/she will be his/her future spouse. Is it true? I prayed this prayer some year before. I saw in my dream that I was waiting for my LOVER but he didn’t come, someone else come whom I didn’t know.My marriage with my LOVER didn’t happen for some reason and that relation broke up. My parents are trying for my marriage for 3/4 years but it didn’t take place. Now my Q is- Do that men whom I dreamt would be my future husband? I still didn’t find out who he is. Sometimes I thought, though I am unable to find him, I’m unmarried. When I find him my marriage will happen. Is it true?
Answer:
Istikhara is not for seeing the future but to ask Allah Most His if a certain choice is good for your or not. For example after a marriage proposal comes to you; or a business offer; or the possibility of a move. Ask Allah in your duas to help you find a good spouse and recite
often Rabbana atina fil dunya hasanatan etc.
