Question

Sometimes you have to make some decisions very quickly, and can't afford the time to pray the Salaatul-Isteqarah. Is there a dua' you could recite before making such a decission?

Answer

If one has to make an immediate decision and does not have the time to make Istikhaara, he should turn his gaze to Allah Ta'ala and recite the following Du'aa before making a decision: 'Allaahumma khirr liy wakhtaar liy' (O Allah! choose for me and help me to choose)

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
