Istekhara is a sort of seeking guidance whether to do something or not, but it is not to know or guess what will happen or not happen.
'If you intention was to guess, then the Istikhara itself was invalid.
Sometimes life is about the journey, not the destination, and possibly your intent to do the thing shaped your actions or that of others around you and there was wisdom behind this.
We should not mix between free will which covers our behaviour and destiny which covers other sides of our life which are out of our choice. Everything which out of our choice like our parents, our place of birth, our gender, our ethnic background , our skin color, our language, our body etc are destined, hence no question will be raised on any destined matter. Our faith and acts and morals are not destined on us but left to us to chose and decide, that is why we are fully responsible of our faith, acts and morals.
Allah (SWT) knows the fate of everyone after death. We are responsible to seek true knowledge about the message of Islam and follow it. Everyone will be asked in the Day of Judgement about his faith and practice. Muslims will be questioned whether they obeyed the Prophetic orders or not. Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) ordered all Muslims to keep following Quran and Ahlul Bayt (AS). This is in the authentic known as Hadeeth al-Thaqalain which is narrated in main Sunni and Shia books of Hadeeth e.g. (Saheeh Muslim, Hadeeth number 4425, Tirmithi; 3718, Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal ; 10681, Al-Mustadrak by Al-Nisabouri; 4576, Al-Sunan al-Khubra by Al-Nasaa'ee; 6921 and many other Sunni books.
Those who did not care to search for the truth will be questioned and those who knew but did not follow will face the result of their ignoring the orders of the Prophet (SAWA).
We believe that all Muslims who sincerely believe in Allah and the Messenger will ultimately go to Paradise even after they had to face results of their mistakes.This applies on followers of all Muslim sects except the enemies of Ahlul Bayt (AS).
