Belief in Worldly Resources on Climate Change
Al-Bukhari recorded that Allah’s Messenger, Sallallahu alaihiwasallam led the Subh (dawn) prayer after it had rained during the night, then he, the Messenger said:
“Do you know what your Lord has said last night ?”
They replied, “Allah and His Messenger know better.”
He, the Messenger said:
Allah said ; “ this morning, some of My servants have become believers and some disbelievers in Me. He who said : ‘we have had this rainfall due to the grace and mercy of Allah’ is a believer in Me and a disbeliever in the stars. And he who said ‘we have had this rainfall due to the stars. And he who said star’ is a disbeliever in Me and a believer in the stars.
Salathul Istikharah and How It Functions !
Q.1. If one performs the istikharah and repeats it the following day but sees nothing in his dream to indicate a choice, then a couple of days later something happens either in a dream or in reality clearly indicating a choice, should this be treated as a response to the istikharah?
A.1. It is not necessary that one sees anything in a dream to indicate a choice after performing the istikharah prayer. Nor is it recommended to repeat the istikharah.
When you perform this prayer, appealing to God for guidance, you should be certain that God will choose the best option for you. You entrust your problem to Him and He will help you.
The help comes in making a certain choice easier for you. You should not push things into a certain direction; rather, you should let them happen, and whatever comes easy is God’s choice for you, which you should happily accept. I will give you an example of a case I know. A relative of mine wanted to buy a house in his home country. After agreeing the price with the vendor, he did the istikharah.
The following day, he gave instructions to his bank to transfer the money, but the transfer did not go through because of a mistake he did. He repeated the instructions, but this time a mistake by someone else meant that the bank could not transfer the funds. That was enough indication for him to realize that God chose for him not to buy that house, causing an impediment to the sale going smoothly. The man withdrew from the deal.
