Do you find yourself lazy in Ebaadah?
Cant get up for Tahajjud, feel like a mountain resting on you?
Find going to the Masjid is like walking a marathon?
Memorizing/ reading Quran, Giving Charity etc. is hard on your Naffs?
Then read this...
‘Umar Ibn ‘Abd Al-‘Azeez said:
“The best of deeds are those which we force ourselves to do.”
‘Abdallah Ibn Al-Mubarak said:
“The souls of righteous people in the past used to push them to do good deeds, but our souls do not do what we want them to do except by force, so we have to force them.”
Qatadah said:
“O son of Adam, if you do not want to do any good except when you have the energy for it, then your nature is more inclined towards boredom and laziness. The true believer is the one who pushes himself.”
