It is a prayer in Islam, which you do to ask Allah about the best decision regarding a serious matter in your life. Usually prayer is answered in the form of a dream but that is not always the case. I believe it is a very short prayer and maybe has to done for some days or something. Google tells me this:
"Istikhara" means to seek goodness from Allah (Exalted is He), meaning when one intends to do an important task they do istikhara before the task. The one who does the istikhara is as if they request Allah Almighty that, O the Knower of Unseen (Exalted is He) guide me if this task is better for me or not?
