Laziness can be the outcome of many bad habits you follow in your daily life. The first thing you must do to overcome this problem is to develop and cultivate tawqa (mindfulness of God the Almighty). The more you distance yourself from committing sins out of taqwa, the more God will draw you nearer to Him and make it easy for you to perform acts of worship. He the Almighty says, \u201cAnd whoever fears God \u2013 He will make his matter easy for him\u201d (Quran 65:4).
\nThe second important step is to stop procrastinating because procrastination is from Satan. Therefore, if you want to overcome laziness, you must immediately act upon the above advice. We also recommend that you recite the following du\u2019aa (prayer) regularly:
\nAnas ibn Malik (may God be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say:
\n\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0651\u064e\u0647\u064f\u0645\u0651\u064e \u0625\u0650\u0646\u0651\u0650\u064a \u0623\u064e\u0639\u064f\u0648\u0630\u064f \u0628\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0639\u064e\u062c\u0652\u0632\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0643\u064e\u0633\u064e\u0644\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u062c\u064f\u0628\u0652\u0646\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0647\u064e\u0631\u064e\u0645\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0623\u064e\u0639\u064f\u0648\u0630\u064f \u0628\u0650\u0643\u064e \u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0639\u064e\u0630\u064e\u0627\u0628\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0642\u064e\u0628\u0652\u0631\u0650 \u0648\u064e\u0645\u0650\u0646\u0652 \u0641\u0650\u062a\u0652\u0646\u064e\u0629\u0650 \u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u062d\u0652\u064a\u064e\u0627 \u0648\u064e\u0627\u0644\u0652\u0645\u064e\u0645\u064e\u0627\u062a\u0650<\/strong>
\n\u201cAllahumma inni a\u2019udhu bika minal-\u2018ajzi, wal-kasali, wal-jubni, wal-harami, wa a\u2019udhu bika min \u2018adhabil-qabr wa a\u2019udhu bika min fitnat al-mahya wal-mamat\u201d (Bukhari).<\/p>\n

The du\u2019aa translates as:
\n\u201cO God! I seek refuge with You from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and old age, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge with You from the afflictions of life and death.\u201d
\nGod the Almighty knows best.<\/p>\n
