Istikhara Dua in English
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, I have none. And You know, I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter (then it should be mentioned by name) is good for me both in this world and in the Hereafter, (or: in my religion, my livelihood and my affairs) then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your knowledge it is bad for me and for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs, (or: for me both in this world and the next) then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it. And ordain for me the good wherever it may be and make me pleased with it.

This dua is a prayer for the deceased, asking for Allah’s mercy and guidance for the person who has passed away. It begins by asking for the best of what is in this life and the hereafter, and seeking refuge from the evil of both. It then asks for forgiveness for the Muslims and believers, and for Allah’s mercy and generosity to be extended to them. This dua is often recited by Muslims when someone has died, as a way to ask for Allah’s mercy and guidance for the deceased and to seek comfort and solace in the face of loss.
It is important to note that the istikhara dua should be recited with sincerity and an open heart, and that the person making the prayer should have faith that Allah will guide them to the right path. It is also recommended to seek the guidance of a knowledgeable and trusted individual, such as a respected spiritual leader or scholar, in order to gain additional insight and guidance.
