514	assistance required	It is said that if you have a task to complete but are unsure as to its feasibility, you should read the name of Allah - Ya badee’u – before falling asleep and you will receive guidance in a dream. I have done this for 4 days, with Wuzhu and facing towards Qiblah when sleeping, but it has not worked. What should I do? Is there any other way I can receive guidance for the feasability/technique of completion of a task? I know of Istikhaara but that has never worked when I do it. Is there anything else? Or any way I can ensure these two ways work?	Answered

550	am i possed under jinn?	Someone once admonished me and said a jinn was in me. I did not believe them. I felt this was an idea based on myths and superstitions. I was disturbed by this and wondered: are we led to wrong behavior by our Self/Nafs or suggestions from a jinn that is in us?	Answered
552	Istikhara method	Salaam I want to make sure that I'm doing my Istikhara properly. I am asking for guidance on whether a certain task that I want to complete is possible/accepted by Allah, and if it is, how I can acheive it. As I'm just needing guidance on something I really want to acheive. So After Isha prayer, I do fresh Wudhu and read two raqaat namaaz, with Surah Kafirun in the first and Surah Ikhlaas in the second. Then I do Dua, in which i recite Salawaat, Hamd, the Dua e Istikhaara and then ask for guidance. Then I go to sleep on my right side facing Qiblah. Is this all correct? Is there anything more I should do? Something I should recite whilst falling asleep? I have only done it once yet, but I just want to make sure that it was correct before I try again. Also, I admit that I have a bad temper and sometimes I speak rudely to my parents, will this affect my Istikhara? Should I do tauba for a certain period of time before trying Istikhara again to make sure it works? Thanks	Answered
558	Istikhaara for achieving something	Salaam Can an Istikhaara be performed in the situation of wanting to acheive something, and doing the Istikhaara to find out whether it is possible to acheive that and whether Allah will grant us that acheivement? Thanks	Answered
