- Guidance on approaching your next steps with prayer, consultation and practical consideration.
Before your meeting
Think about the decision and the options available to you. Let us know how many people will attend and their preferred names. You do not need to provide a mother’s name to learn or perform Istikhara; avoid sharing another person’s private information without their permission.
Join from a quiet, comfortable space. If someone else will attend, let the centre know beforehand. Please contact us before arranging support for a child.
