Events of life sometimes make it hard to make fair decisions. What is the Muslim’s solution in making decisions of life’s events?

Question

Istikharah (Prayer of decision-making) is an indispensable tool that every Muslim has to navigate their life. Life is made of decisions. For many people, we only notice the decisions when they have huge, long-term consequences. But decisions of all kinds are there, filling up every moment and affecting our life.

Let us make use of the Sunnah of Istikharah (prayer of decision making).
