Dua for protection
against laziness
Answered by Shaykh
Abdurrahman ibn Yusuf, CA
Question:
I have been struggling with extreme laziness for years on now. Every time
I promise to reform myself I just have not been able to - Can you please
suggest some duas?
Assalamu alaykum
In the name of Allah
the Inspirer of good.
Pray to Allah in the depths
of the night from the bottom of your heart. Then try to do things as promptly
as possible. Furthermore, plan to do things before they become due. This will
force your soul to fall closer to moderation.
The following dua has been related from the Messenger (upon whom be
peace) for protection against laziness among other problems:
اَللّهُمَّ
إِنِّيْ
أَعُوْذُ
بِكَ مِنَ
الْعِجْزِ ،
وَالْكَسْلِ،
وَالْجُبْنِ
، وَالْهَرَمِ
،
وَالْبُخْلِ
، وَأَعُوْذُ
بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ
الْقَبْرِ،
وَأَعُوْذُ
بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ
الْمَحْيَا
وَالْمَمَاتِ.
[1][1][1][1]
Allâhumma innî acűdhu bika
minal-ajzi wal-kasli wal-jubni wal-harami wal-bukhli, wa a'udhbika min adhabil qabri, wa a'udhubika
fitnatil mahya walmamat.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from weakness and laziness, miserliness
and cowardice, anxiety and sorrow, and I seek refuge in You from the torments
of grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trials and tribulations of life and
death.
Wassalam
