Istikhara (A Prayer Seeking Allah’s Guidance)




This is a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) while praying and we can see how the forelock is getting active…

Researchers have recently found that the forelock (the upper front part of the brain) is the brain part that’s responsible for making decisions and the forelock becomes active during praying and worshiping God. If you want to make a successful decision, you should worship God and pray with humility and then make that decision; this is scientifically speaking. Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, preceded scientists to this fact for he taught us to pray istikhara before making any decision. We glorify Allah, the exalted and we wonder who told Prophet Mohammad, PBUH, that the forelock becomes active while praying and when being humble in prayer and that such activity helps people make successful decisions? Amazingly, the holy Qur'an successfully connects between prayer and humility on one hand and success on the other; Allah, the almighty says in the holy Qur’an:

“The believers must (eventually) win through* those who humble themselves in their prayers” Mu’minun or the Believers: 23: 1-2
