Mental Health TV - Tips & Advice
Follow
4/5/2025
1️⃣ Istikhara: Your Divine GPS
What It Is: The Sunnah prayer for guidance (not magic!).
How to Do It:
Pray 2 rak’ahs (non-obligatory)
Recite the Istikhara dua (Bukhari 6382)
Pro Tip:
Don’t wait for dreams—look for clarity or ease/difficulty in the process.
Repeat it as needed, especially before big decisions.
2️⃣ Background Checks: Don’t Skip This!
Who to Ask:
Family: "How does he treat his parents?"
Friends: "Is he consistent in his Deen?"
Community: "Any red flags in his behavior?"
What to Observe:
Religious Commitment: Does he pray on time? Fast regularly?
Character (Akhlaq): How does he handle stress or anger?
Financial Integrity: Halal income? Responsible with money?
3️⃣ Patience: Let It Simmer
Avoid Rush Decisions: Shaitan loves impulsive marriages.
Test Compatibility: Discuss future goals (kids, finances, Deen).
Watch for Consistency: True character shows over time.
