There are two ways to recite the Qur’an:
The first method for Istikhara in the Holy Qur’an:
The first way to make Istikhara with the Holy Qur’an is that before Istikhara you must be pure and clean and perform ablution, then ask God Almighty for goodness and open the Qur’an. After opening the Quran, look at the first verse on the right hand page.
If this verse is good, then this means that your Istikhara is good and there is nothing wrong with doing the desired action, but if this verse is evil or punishment, then this means that your Istikhara is bad. Now, if the aforementioned verse is equivocal, it means that it is the middle result.
On the authority of Yasin bin Abdullah Qomi, he said to Imam al-Sadiq, peace be upon him: Sometimes I want to do something, but I wonder whether I do it or not. Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) said to him: When he prays – when Satan is farther from man than ever before – open the Qur’an, and complete the first verse you see at the beginning of the page to the right of it.
The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: If we first recite the Qur’an, recite Surat al-Tawhid three times, then bless Muhammad and his family three times, then say:
O God, I have rejoiced in Your Book and put my trust in You, so show me from Your Book that which is hidden from Your secret hidden in Your absence. After this prayer, open the Qur’an and get the purpose of the first line of the page on the right. Note that the Qur’an that you take the Istikhara with must be the entire Qur’an, and if there are few parts of the Qur’an or a few surahs, the Istikhara is not valid.

The late Sayyid bin Tawus transmitted in the book Opening the Doors that you take the Qur’an for Istikhara and recite this prayer first:
Then you state your intention and your need and open the Qur’an, then turn seven pages of the page that is opened and count seven lines on the seventh page of the left page. The seventh line is the verse in which the result of istikharah is mentioned.

According to the late Sheikh Abbas Qomi on the sidelines of Miftah Al-Jinan, the best time to recite the Qur’an is as follows:
- Saturday to lunch and afternoon to evening
- Sunday from morning to noon and from evening to dusk
- Do Mondays from morning until sunrise, after lunch until noon and from evening until dinner time
- Tuesday from lunch until noon and from afternoon until evening prayer
- Wednesday from morning until noon and from afternoon until dinner time
- Thursday from morning until dawn and from afternoon prayer until evening
- Friday Friday from morning to sunrise and from afternoon to evening
Those who read the Qur’an must have certain conditions and characteristics in order to reach the correct conclusion. A person who learns the Qur’an must be pious and, most importantly, familiar with the concepts of the Qur’an.
If a person does not know anything about the meanings of the Qur’an and uses the Qur’an only for recitation, he will not be able to understand the verses correctly. Also, the concepts of the Qur’an are so complex that not everyone can understand them.
Therefore, one of the conditions for the one who practices Istikhara is to learn the Qur’an, the sciences of the Qur’an and the interpretation of the Qur’an, that is, to understand the language of the Qur’an.
Note: The one who reads the Qur’an must be pure and pure, far from all evil. It is the etiquette of Istikhara in the Qur’an to perform ablution before Istikhara.
With regard to Istikhara, know that if the problem despite all thought and even consultation with specialists in this subject is still not clear and there is doubt, you can Istikhara, but if this problem can be solved by thought or meditation, or the answer can be reached by consultation, then Istikhara has no place. It is wrong.
Care should also be taken not to repeat Istikhara in one task, because repeated Istikhara does not come, and the result of the first Istikhara is always correct, and the other Istikhara that is performed later is incorrect.
