The Cure for Lethargy in Prayer and Falling into Sin
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Your Eminence, father, I am a young man who used to find happiness and the sweetness of faith during my prayer for a long period of time, but I began to feel lethargy and weakness in my prayer, even though I am religiously committed, and I started falling into sin. What should I do?
Answer:
Avoid the causes that brought about this deficiency in you. Perhaps you are sitting with bad people who affect you. Perhaps you are taking money that is not halal, which affects you. Your food may be not halal. Reflect on yourself and also on laziness; perhaps you have laziness that overcomes you, so do not obey yourself and obey the laziness. Overcome it, and train yourself to obey and worship. Yes.
