Seeking guidance from Allah is Istikhara. Istikhara in Islam is performed when making decisions in matters that are neither necessary nor prohibited. For example, one does not need to seek Allah guidance through Istikhara when deciding whether to perform Hajj if financially and physically able, as Hajj is a compulsory act.
However, Istikhara is appropriate and recommended in other permissible matters where a choice needs to be made, such as buying something, accepting a job offer, or selecting a spouse. It is a way to seek Allah guidance and blessings in making these decisions, ensuring they align with Allah will and bring about goodness and benefit.

On the Day of Judgment, everyone will be brought back to life, and each person will face judgment for their actions during their lifetime. Allah Taala will have a record of every deed in the “Book of Deeds,” detailing both good and bad actions.
These deeds will be weighed on a scale, and based on the outcome, a person will either go to paradise (Jannah) or hell (Jahannam). Prophets like Hazrat Muhammad (peace be upon him) may intercede to ask for forgiveness on behalf of some people, which could lead to a more favorable outcome. A critical part of this day is crossing a bridge called the “Sirat.” The righteous will cross safely, while those who were sinful will fall into hell. Ultimately, this day is about justice, with everyone getting the reward or punishment they deserve based on their deeds and Allah’s mercy.
