What results after the prayer for guidance is a psychological feeling and the ease of the work
His Eminence the Shaykh: Regarding the prayer for guidance, if a person wants to seek guidance from Allah in a matter, he prays the prayer for guidance and then makes supplication. As for the result of this seeking of guidance, is it a psychological result, meaning: a psychological feeling of desire for this matter, or is his reliance on Allah in this seeking of guidance, and he sees what Allah sees as good in it?
First: The prayer for guidance is not performed except in matters in which a person hesitates. As for what he has resolved to do, there is no need for seeking guidance, because he has resolved, and this resolution is from Allah, who decreed it, Exalted and Majestic. But if he hesitates, he prays the prayer for guidance. Then, if the preponderance of something becomes clear to him, he acts upon it. If it does not become clear, he repeats the seeking of guidance again.
The questioner: A psychological feeling?The Shaykh: It is a psychological feeling. A person may also see a dream that leads him to this or that. Sometimes he may hesitate, and then Allah decrees the matter in a sudden manner.And here we say: If Allah the Exalted did not decree it in a sudden manner, and you have sought guidance from Him, Blessed and Exalted is He, then it is only good for you.
