She loves me. She loves me not.

Istikhara is usually brought up when it's time to make that big decision of love in life. But did you know that the Companions of the Prophet (SAW) used to make Istikhara for a lot more in life than just marriage?

And I bet you didn't know that you could use Salatul Istikhara to live your life so that you have no regrets? As Shaykh AbdulBary says, Salatul Istikhara is like a Divine GPS. Whether it's getting married, choosing a phone service plan, or buying a car, this Divine GPS can help you always make the right decision.

Imagine living life with no regrets. Every decision you make will inshaAllah be the best decision that can be made for you. Going through life with a GPS. Every time you go off course, this GPS tells you the best way to get back on course.

Imagine always making the best decision. If there was ever a GPS system for you life, then that is Salaatul Istikharah.

Imagine divine guidance from Allah-subhana wata'Ala.

AbdulBary Yahya was born in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and very soon thereafter immigrated to the U.S. with his family. He grew up in Seattle, WA and after completing his primary and secondary education there, began his studies at the Islamic University of Madinah. It was at the University that he befriended Muhammad Alshareef, as they sat next to each other in the first year of their studies.

Upon graduation from the Islamic University of Madinah's College of Shariah, AbdulBary Yahya returned to Vietnam and Cambodia and became a teacher and director of the Revival of Islamic Heritage Society in Cambodia and the Umm al-Qura Charity Organization in Vietnam.

He presently resides in Seattle, WA with his family, and is an instructor with AlMaghrib Institute, an organization that provides trademark double-weekend seminars leading students towards a bachelor's degree in Islamic Studies. He is currently the Imam (spiritual leader and adviser) of Masjid Jaamiul Muslimeen in Seattle, WA. He also holds the positions of President of the Cham Refugee Community and Vice-President of the Islamic Center of Washington State.
