Aug 17, 2016 at 5:44 comment added Medi1Saif @Ahmedilyas IMO the intention is always in the heart saying or formulating it is not necessary (some consider it bid'ah, but if it helps you to concentrate do it), so your intention should be either to pray for istikhara or to offer two rak'a for the sake of Allah as this is an optional prayer. Before offereing the du'a you should praise Allah and send blessings and greetings to the Prophet (this is mustahab (recommended) when offering any dua' so this isn't something special for Istikhara).
Aug 16, 2016 at 15:21 comment added Ahmed ilyas Thank you so kindly. What is the Niyat (intention) to be said for the 2 rak'a nafl? (it's not part of the fard prayers...)
Aug 16, 2016 at 9:46 comment added Medi1Saif @Ahmedilyas well you can write it down on a paper and perform it if necessary in your mother tongue (reading from the paper). It is a two rak'a nafl (sunnah) prayer and afterwards you sit down and make dua' according with a special wording IÄm sure you would find it if you search by tag istikhara.
Aug 16, 2016 at 9:39 comment added Ahmed ilyas Thank you. The problem is, I cannot/do not know the prayer off by heart....

Aug 16, 2016 at 8:31 comment added Ahmed ilyas Thank you! - it was an intermediate person who knows my family very well for 15+ years and is an imam. All I got was that the result was negative, that is all.
