Frequently Asked Questions

O Allah, I seek Your guidance (in making a choice) by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power, and I do not. You know, and I know not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. This is known as the istikhara dua. You can say allahumma inni astakhiruka bi'ilmika as part of your morning dua or when you really need help in deciding something.
