Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Strengthening faith, performing obligatory and supererogatory prayers, and remembering Allah, all strengthen resolve. Among the supplications of the Prophet was: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from incapacity and laziness, from stinginess and cowardice, from the burden of debt and from being overcome by men." al-Layl (night prayer) increases vitality, for whoever remembers Allah, performs ablution, and prays, awakens with energy and a good soul. Moderate sleep is eight hours.
