Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiDua for lstikharah for marriage
If one desires to marry a girl or a woman, then he should not disclose his proposal to any one. Then he should perform wudhu (ablution) carefully and perform as many nafl (voluntary) Salaah as possible. After that he should declare the praise glory of ALLAH, and recite:
‘O ALLAH! Thou hast power and I have none. Thou knowest and I know not. And Thou knowest all hidden things. If Thou knowest that ... (name of the girl or a woman) will be good for me in religion and worldly matters and in the Hereafter, then destine her for me, but if Thou knowest that another woman is better for me, then destine that woman for me. [Muslim, Shamail, Tirmizi]
