Is it obligatory to continue supplicating for something, despite having previously performed the Istikhara prayer and the matter not being completed?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in continuing with the aforementioned supplication, as it is a supplication of istikhara (seeking guidance) that does not conflict with the previous istikhara prayer. One must be content with what Allah has decreed and remember His saying, the Almighty: "And perhaps you dislike a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not."
