Istikhara, OCD And Dreams
This is a misnomer about Istikhara that it has to do something with dreams. Istikhara is nothing but a sincere prayer to Allah to help us and make this particular matter happen for us if it is good for our life and the hereafter and vice versa. Just like all other prayers, after this prayer as well, we should make decisions in the light of intellect and leave the result to the Al-Mighty. To understand the reality of Istikhara , please refer to the video below from 1:46:46 to 1:50:19 https://youtu.be/WFuFbzoeALs?t=6406
