| A Habit of Hadhrat Mufti-e-’Azam
While giving a lecture on Istikhara [consulting with Allah Ta'ala] Hadhrat Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani دامت برکاتہم told,
“I’ve seen my respected father Mufti-e-’Azam Pakistan Hadhrat Maulana Mufti Muhammad Shafi’ Sahab
نوراللہ مرقدہ doing this [following] ‘Amal his whole life long. That whenever any issue arised in which a decision had to be made immediately and from two ways one had to be chosen, then at that time he used to close his eyes for a few moments.
Now, the person who was not aware of his habit had no idea what is happening while the eyes were closed. But in reality he would close his eyes and resort to Allah Ta’ala for a very short while and just inside his heart invoke Allah Ta’ala, ‘O Allah! This turmoil came up to me and I don’t understand what to decide. You put the thing in my heart, which according to You is better.’ That’s all, just inside the heart this little and brief Istikhara was done.”
[from Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani's "Islahi Khutbat"]
