The concept of "Estekhara" (استخاره) in Islam refers to seeking divine guidance from Allah when making a decision, especially when one is uncertain about the best course of action. It is a form of prayer where a believer asks Allah for clarity and the best outcome in a matter.
When Pezeshkian was entering Pastor (The Presidential center in Tehran) , he used Quran to make an Estekhara , this verse came for him:
with help of deepseek :
The verses that appeared in your Estekhara are from Surah Al-A'raf (7:38-39), which describe a scene in the Hereafter where groups of disbelievers from jinn and mankind are cast into Hell, blaming one another for their misguidance.
Translation & Meaning:
Surah Al-A'raf (7:38-39):
"He (Allah) will say: 'Enter among the nations which passed away before you, of jinn and mankind, into the Fire.' Every time a nation enters, it will curse its sister (the preceding nation) until, when they have all overtaken one another therein, the last of them will say about the first of them: 'Our Lord, these misled us, so give them a double punishment of the Fire.' He will say: 'For each is double, but you do not know.' And the first of them will say to the last of them: 'You were no better than us, so taste the punishment for what you earned.'"*
Interpretation in the Context of Estekhara:
1. Warning Against Misguidance & Wrong Choices:
- The verses emphasize the consequences of following misguided leaders or bad influences.
- If your decision involves following others blindly (in business, leadership, or ideology), this may be a warning to re-evaluate and ensure you're not being led astray.
2. Accountability & Responsibility:
- The verses highlight that every soul is responsible for its own actions, even if others influenced them.
- This could mean taking personal responsibility in your decision rather than relying too much on others.
3. Conflict & Disunity:
- The verses depict blame-shifting and regret in the Hereafter.
- If your decision involves partnerships, group projects, or leadership, this may warn of future disputes, betrayal, or regret.
4. Possible Negative Indication:
- Since the verses describe divine punishment and regret, this Istikhara result may suggest caution—especially if the decision involves:
- Unethical actions
- Following questionable people
- Entering a risky venture without proper research
Recommended Action:
- Re-examine your decision: Is there any element of deception, blind trust, or moral risk?
- Seek sincere advice from trustworthy, knowledgeable people.
- Perform Istikhara again if still uncertain, or wait for a clearer sign.
Final Thought:
While this verse seems severe, Istikhara is a form of divine advice. If this decision could lead to harm, Allah may be warning you through this verse. However, if the path is unclear, pray for clarity (Salat al-Istikhara) again and reflect deeply.
