This document provides instructions for performing istikhara, an Islamic practice of seeking guidance through prayer. It states that one should perform two raka'at of salat, then recite a dua asking God for guidance. The dua should be repeated seven times if needed. It is recommended to then sleep facing the Qibla while in a state of wudu, and a feeling of inclination rather than a dream is sufficient. Repeating the istikhara is permissible if no guidance was received.
