How can one overcome sloth and languor in worship and restore passion and interest in oneself and others after being afflicted by despair and loss of motivation towards Allah's pleasure, despite the love and appreciation of those around me?
Laziness is a chronic disease, and to cure it, the following is recommended:
- Knowing that it is a scourge that hinders righteous deeds.
- Striving in supplication and seeking refuge from incapacity and laziness, just as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to do.
- Reading the biographies of the righteous predecessors and learning about their diligence in worship.
- Knowing that Allah has legislated worship for all times, not just for , and Ramadan is a beginning for diligence, not an end.
- Accompanying righteous people who are active in obedience.
- Striving to seek knowledge and understand the virtues of acts of worship and the rewards Allah has prepared for those who perform them.
