Since few days I am experiencing a very serious problem. I used to pray Alhamdulillah tahajjud daily and perform salat and tries to do lot of zikr and read quran. Suddenly I don’t know since few months I am just unable to get up for tahajjud and when I am reading namaaz iam unable to concentrate completely and zikar is also very less. Before if I don’t do zikar I used to feel restless I don’t know why I am becoming ghafil with the zikar these days. All of the sudden this has started. I don’t know if Allah subhanawtaal is angry with me . I used to sit and make dua for long time after each salth .now I just getup in a minute. Please advise the cure for this disease as I am very much concerned and scared about this situation.
A human being goes through many phases in life. Sometimes the interests in him to do some things are very high that he finds himself very ambitious to do them. Other times, he is lazy and not so ambitious. When this happens, the person doesn’t like to do hard work. The scholars have suggested that this is the time of struggle ‘mujahida’. A person should try to mold his nature towards doing the right things. In another words a person should be able to do or perform his religious duties whether he likes it or not. It is our responsibility to apply ourselves to do something whether or not it suites our nature because our nature and its conditions are not in our control. We should pray and recite Koran, and while we are doing it we should keep in mind that we are doing this to please Allah and not to please ourselves. The prophet peace be upon him has emphasized many times on the importance of consistency. This struggle requires us to be consistent. The prophet peace be upon him said that the best of actions are those which are consistent. We should think of such things and convince ourselves to do our duties and in this pursuit we would get rid of our laziness. Also, consistency is difficult because of this, such that, the noble people have stated that consistency is superior to miracles. A person should think about the importance of consistency and seek forgiveness excessively so that he may have it. Sometimes a person is not consistent because of his sins, sometimes because of one’s pride such that a person thinks of himself so pious, he is so great, which takes away his sight from Allah s.w. So Allah s.w. takes away the blessings from him to show him that without the ability granted to him he cannot do anything.
Sometimes it also happens because people are not cautious with their food and sometimes due to some kind of a particular sin. So, a person should seek forgiveness and try to make himself better in other walks of his life. Hopefully he will be helped at the end by Allah s.w.
