wassalamu3alikum ara7matuAllahi wabarakatuhu My dear brother in Islam Cemil Celephci, I felt a little insipid to say one is better than other. We may instead say that it is better to do both. I sort of understand ISTIKHARAH is ISTISHARAH Allah subhanoh. Also may be for the reason that one who do ISTISHARAH with people must be extra causious in doing so, and there are subjects in which you may not want to do ISTISHARAH at all with any one exept ISTIKHARAH. waAllahu 3alim Allah may make easy for us all ameen. akhukum fiAllah Hyder binJameel --- Cemil Celepci <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > ISTISHARAH IS BETTER THAN ISTIKHARAH > > Our reply to a muslim in the forum of web site: > www.islam.com > > Istanbul, 2005-04-06 > > dear muslim nectar, > > assalamu alaikum > > salet al estikhara is explained in the ahaadees > (words) of our prophet muhammad peace be upon him. > > I have a detail article on this subject written by > me > in the turkish language as my mother tongue, but you > do not understand turkish. > > however, let me explain a little bit in english: > > before going to sleeping, pray a nafilah salah - two > rakahs.

Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.} (Holy Quran-16:125) {And who is better in speech than he who [says: "My Lord is Allah (believes in His Oneness)," and then stands straight (acts upon His Order), and] invites (men) to Allah's (Islamic Monotheism), and does righteous deeds, and says: "I am one of the Muslims."} (Holy Quran-41:33) The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "By Allah, if Allah guides one person by you, it is better for you than the best types of camels." [al-Bukhaaree, Muslim] The prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) also said, "Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who follows him, without the reward of either of them being lessened at all."
