A Muslim cannot be a true believer if he/she does not love and respect the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) the most after Allah because Love and Respect of prophet Muhammad (SAW) is the essential part of Imaan as the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) said: “that is, none of you is Momin (true believer) unless I am dearer to him than his parents, his children and all other persons” (Sahi Bukhari).

In reply to Adam.

Salam Br. Adam,

Istikhara is a du’a (supplication) seeking help and good from Allah, whereas mushawara is an action that you do to benefit from the opinions and knowledge of others, thus Mushawara is to be accompanied by Istikhara, not replaced by it.

Of course, with sensitive issues, you don’t have to discuss it with everyone, but only the closest people to you. The Prophet (pbuh) did not discuss everything with everyone, but sometimes he would hold secret counsel with the senior and elite companions only.

Hope this helps,

Haq.

JazakAllah Khair, the point on ownership particularly stuck out to me.

I have a question: in 3:159, can an istekhara take the place of consulting with others? Particularly for matters of a more personal and sensitive nature…
