ishtikhara for marriage. please read

[Mariamtee]

salam everyone,

im almost 23. I'm going to try keeping this short. I've spoken to my dad about a man and the problem has always been that the man is from a different nationality. its been about a year since I first told my dad

its been almost 3 years since I've known this guy.

my mum knows I speak to him , I don't meet with him ever but we do talk on the phone and occasionally we all go out as friends where there is more than 4 people. the man I want to marry is working really hard at his job to have a stable marriage with me. he is working so much that he barely has time for me now, he is hamdellah a very good man, everything you want in a spouse.. but working so much has taken a toll in our relationship and now im thinking maybe it is a sign from God that I shouldn't go through with this.

I finally want to do ishtikhara, problem is I have no idea how to do it al all. im scared if I do it wrong then it'll say its bad and ill believe it but really, I just didn't do it write.

can someone help me? also should I do ishtikhara? is there a video on how to do it?

Salam sister

In the case you are feeling uncertain about whether you should marry, I think it is a good thing to do istikhara to clear your confusion. I would recommend asking a sheikh to do it otherwise here are the ways of doing istikhara:

you can use the Holy Qur'an or a Tasbih.

Why do an istikhara after 3 years of talking?
