My daughter was about to appear for her B.A. exams so I told her to do Istikhara. She told me that she was given the hint of using Ubqari magazine. A tip was given in the magazine about using surah qalam to perform well in exams. The tip was to recite surah qalam over the pot of ink and use that ink in your pen, once more recite surah qalam and blow on the tip of your pen. Offer two rakat nafl and recite surah Fatah. Blow over yourself. My daughter followed this act. She tells me that although her preparation was normal, when she started the paper, the pen kept on writing and did not stop. The invigilator came and stood behind her astonished. Finally, my daughter was blessed with a very good result. [Haider Ali]
