Arabic term or phrase:صلاة الإستخارة
الصلاة موجودة في كل الديانات السماوية ولكنها متميزة في الإسلام من حيث شروطها وأركانها مثل الوضوء واستقبال القبلة وعدد الركعات. ولهذا أفضل التعريب الصوتي salat al-istikharah ولكن أحتاج إلى ترجمة وصفيةdescriptive translation فهل من مساعدة
Explanation: I think it's better to transliterate the term and write its meaning in parentthesis such as:Istikhara prayer (Guidance seeking prayer)
Istikhara, sometimes called "the Seeking Prayer" in English, is a prayer which one can pray when one is faced with a decision between two or more (permissible) options and is confused or unsure which option to take.
Istikhara can thus be prayed, for example, by someone who is deciding whether to accept a marriage proposal or not or whether to quit a job or not, to name a couple of examples on how istikhara can be helpful.
Praying istikhara is very simple. The following are the basic rules of the istikhara prayer:
1. Pray two rakahs of a non-obligatory prayer at any time during the day or night.
2. At the end of the prayer recite the supplication or "du´a" of Istikhara.
