What is the remedy for people’s lethargy in worship after Ramadan?

Question:
At the beginning of the month of Ramadan, there is enthusiasm for attending the mosques, but after a period of time, there is lethargy. What is the remedy?

Answer:
The remedy is the fear of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) and the monitoring of Allah. Indeed, Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) must be magnified and worshipped in Ramadan and in other times. It is obligatory for the believer to perform the obligatory acts and avoid the forbidden acts at all times, but the times of virtue are given extra care. Ramadan, the ten days of Dhul Hijjah, and the days of Hajj in Makkah are given extra care in hastening to the types of good and the types of nearness to Allah. However, it is obligatory at all times to perform what Allah has made obligatory, to avoid what Allah has forbidden, and to stand by the limits of Allah. This is what is obligatory upon him. He should remember the greatness of Allah, that he is a servant who is commanded, and that Allah sees and knows his place. And He (Glorified and Exalted is He) is generous and bountiful, so whoever does good, Allah will do good to him. And Allah is the One to be asked for help.
