The Holy Quran is not revealed for the purpose of Istekhata but for the Understanding of Allah by His creatures and for inculcating the high moral values. Its purpose is not to show to the reader whether any worldly actions are beneficial to him or not. Such reference to the Book is not Istakhara; but it is soothsaying.

The standards prescribed for us to judge the veracity or usefulness of acts have to be understood properly and to be acted upon implicitly. Every matter that appears burdensome on the baser instincts of a person is Rehmani, legitimate. Spending in the way of Allah doesn't make a person poor, although his instinct asks him to take care while making such expense!

With the compliance of aforementioned conditions, we are not in opposition to access to Istakhara. After every compulsory prayer we supplicate, " O Allah! With your Munificence and Grace guide me!" This supplication should be made with the single purpose of asking for His Grace. In fact one should pray to Allah thus, " O Allah! Keep me safe from perfidy and shame! O Allah! Prevent me from the influence of evil thoughts and keep me under Your protection!"
