Question

I have appeared in a written exam of Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) last February. The result is yet to be published. My mother asked to say Salatul-Istikhara. So I said the Salatul-Istikhara prayer consecutively two nights. 1st night saw 3 vertically orange color dots. In next day I saw my sister saying to me that "Your written exam is quite well". Then I saw numbers in Bengali like 6, 4, 3, 1. After that I didn't continue to say Salatul-Istikhara prayer as it seemed to be referred to same meaning, the number. I would like to mention that in our civil service we have to give cadre choice while applying for it. My cadre choice list is like following order:

1. Foreign Affairs

2. Administration

3. Economy

4. Audit

5. Railway

6. Information

I also felt for several days after saying prayers that I would be a civil service cadre. After the written result I have to set to a viva exam for 200 marks. As I am not an expert in explaining dreams in the light of Islam especially for Salatul-Istikhara prayer. So I am asking you about it to get the best answer from you. Make Dua for me.

Answer

Whatever you feel is best mainly for the preservation and security of your deen will be the better option insha-Allah.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
