The Cure for Laziness in Seeking Knowledge and Falling into Sins

Question:
This is a question, but it is a long one. He says that he loves the scholars. After the introduction and the supplication—may Allah reward him with good—he says that he loves knowledge and the scholars, the students of knowledge, and he strives to the best of his ability to learn, and praise be to Allah. However, from time to time, there are periods when a person feels bored, so he becomes lazy in seeking knowledge, and through this, he falls into some minor sins. And through this, a person experiences distress and anxiety, and none knows its extent except Allah. Yes, so this is the treatment for my condition so that I can continue in this good that a person feels.

Answer:
As for the first part of the question, there is no doubt that seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim man and every Muslim woman. And by that, I mean, first and foremost, the religious knowledge through which a person worships his Lord, Glorified and Exalted is He, with insight. And this seeking of knowledge is no easy matter.
And as the scholars said, if you give knowledge all of yourself, it will give you some of itself. So a person should not be distressed by the length of the time, nor should he be put off by the length of the path. And if a person experiences some laziness during the pursuit, this is something natural for a person who is created with boredom in every work he does, especially continuous work. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: . So a person should persist in seeking knowledge. And even if he experiences some laziness, he should pursue another discipline that encourages him to continue in the pursuit, because a person may become bored of seeking some sciences. So let him take another path to seek another knowledge in which there is no boredom for him, because renewal for a person renews his vitality and energy. As for what the questioner mentioned about his falling into some sins, this is evidence of not acting upon the knowledge, and this is a matter of great seriousness. So a person, if he seeks knowledge, should first improve his intention and secondly act upon the knowledge. And this brother the questioner should know that if he falls into a sin, it is not like others who fall into a sin, because he falls into the sin with knowledge and insight of the matter, because he is among those who seek knowledge. So he should address himself before committing the sin, and that it is not befitting for one like him to fall into this sin, because of the honor and purity of his self through his seeking of knowledge. And this brother the questioner should not rely on those who make sins attractive, or be alone in a place where he falls into sins, because when a person is alone, mostly worries and thoughts come upon him and he falls into sin. So a person should address himself with a gentle address with two verses said by al-Qahthani (may Allah have mercy on him) in his *Nuniyyah*, where he said: "And when I am alone with suspicion in the darkness, and the soul is calling to transgression. And when I am alone with suspicion in the darkness, and the soul is calling to transgression, then be ashamed of the gaze of the Divine and say to it:"
"The One who created the darkness sees me." And this questioner should increase in the company of the righteous and the students of knowledge, and be a fundamental member among them.
