The answer

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.
