There is a dua for guidance to the right path
Our prophet Muhammad (sal Allah hu Alayhi wa Sallam) taught his companions and followers to follow istikhara when it is hard times, and you are about to make a crucial decision. As the literal meaning, it is nothing but looking for the answers to the questions that have arisen in your mind.
Allah is the only one who can show you the right path, even if it seems that there is no way out. Hence, all a person requires is to have faith in the holiness of Allah.
Istikhara is done by performing a prayer known as salat e istikhara for the dua for guidance to the right path. We have given the step by step instructions that you need to follow strictly for the fulfillment of the dua for guidance to the right path:

Do the recitation of Surah al Kafirun.

Now, perform the supplication of the istikhara.
You are free to repeat the whole procedure no matter how many times you want.
