Question:
Assalamualaikum. I’ve did an istikhara prayer last year about responding a man. I thought he was into me at that time. After istikhara, I feel like the atmosphere responding positively so I assumed he’s the one for me. But after 6 months knowing each other, I found that he wasn’t that serious and left me then. So much things I’ve been through to make it right based on the night I did the istikhara, but things went wrong. I dreamed that he’s coming back after I decided to leave. I was so confused. Which one should I refer to? The istikhara or the dream? Please enlighten my limited knowledge. Thank you. Salam
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Neither is a good option because the ego will trick you. You should instead consult a person of good moral character.
