My initial question is what is meant by ‘good’, ‘bad’, and ‘neutral’ if we are doing istikhara by the Quran? How could we interpret it?
 
Secondly, what would the outcome of these verses be?
1. 
He will forgive for you your sins and admit you to gardens beneath which rivers flow and pleasant dwellings in gardens of perpetual residence. That is the great attainment” (61:12)
2.
“He is the One Who created the heavens and the earth in truth. On the Day ˹of Judgment˺ He will say, ‘Be!’ And there will be! His command is truth. All authority is His ˹alone˺ on the Day the Trumpet will be blown. He is the Knower of all—seen or unseen. And He is the All-Wise, All-Aware” (6:73)

As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
We hope this answer finds you in high Islamic spirit.

  1. By good it means good to go with the istikhara. Bad means not to go with it. By neutral it means it is optional, if you like to go with niyyat then give out some sadaqah and go ahead with the decision or leave it.
  2. The outcome for both verses is good.
