A servant's faith is not complete until Allah and His Messenger are more beloved to him than anything else. A sign of this love is finding pleasure in obeying Allah and solace in supplicating to Him. This is achieved only through struggle and perseverance. Your performing prayer with laziness indicates that your love for Allah is not yet complete and requires struggle. To strengthen this love, you should apply the methods mentioned in No. 44725, and adhere to the remembrance of Allah, supplicating to Him, and invoking Him, so that He may instill His love in your heart.
