Dream - Istikharah prayer is a sunnah worship that is commonly performed when a Muslim is in doubt or confused in making a decision. With istikharah prayer, we hope that the choice shown by Allah SWT is the best and does not make us regret in the future. Often, istikharah prayer is also performed in matters of determining a spouse.

Example of underlying things for istikharah include when we feel confused in choosing a life partner from several candidates who are trying to get closer. Istikharah can also be an effort in determining the most suitable job for us, and various other dilemmas. In situations like this, Islam provides a solution for its people through istikharah prayer, which will be more perfect if ended with istikharah prayer for a soulmate.

"There is no connection between istikharah prayer and dreams during sleep, in fact istikharah prayer is only about performing the prayer and then supplicating with a prayer that is derived from the Prophet Muhammad. Then accompany it by performing the action that is being sought guidance for. If the action is good, then Allah will make it easy, and if it is bad, then Allah will turn someone away from that action." (Sheikh Said Ramadhan al-Buthi, Masyurat Ijtima'iyyat, page 158)."

So, reading the prayer of istikharah for a soulmate is also accompanied by efforts to find that soulmate. The answer given by Allah SWT is not always in the form of a dream. Because often those dreams are caused by someone's emotional condition and have no relation to the guidance of Allah SWT through the istikharah prayer that has been performed.

The guidance given by Allah SWT through istikharah prayer is not explicit. However, the result can be seen when Dream's friend carries out their efforts. If they have made efforts and prayed, then the result is only left to be entrusted to Allah SWT. Because Allah SWT is the one who has the best decision for His servants.

As explained in the letter of At-Taubah verse 51, which means: "Say (Muhammad), 'Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us. He is our protector, and in Allah let the believers trust.'" (QS. At-Taubah: 51)

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The benefits of istikhara prayer can keep one away from the whispers of Satan. This is because Satan usually takes advantage of people who are anxious to make wrong decisions. Allah SWT also stated in the Quran that prayer is a powerful bullet to keep someone away from evil deeds and wrongdoing."

The last benefit of istikharah prayer is choosing with religious considerations. This is explained in the letter of Ali Imran verse 154 as follows: "Verily, the matter is entirely in the hands of Allah SWT." (QS. Ali Imran: 154)
