Does the problem and delay in making a flight after the الاستخارة prayer indicate that this matter is not good?

If you have performed repeatedly, then relied on Allah to proceed with a specific matter, and its completion was hindered by obstacles, this hindrance might be an indication that there was no good for you in that matter. Indeed, what Allah chooses is good, as His Almighty saying confirms: "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." Istikhara is entrusting the matter to Allah the Almighty, for He knows best what is good for His servant.
