The cure for it is to dispel the love of the world from your heart and get into the habit of earning Halal sustenance as per need along with [offering] Salah and other acts of worship. Our pious predecessors would also do business and many of them were very successful traders, but during job or trade if they heard the sound of Azan, they would go towards the Masjid after discontinuing all their work. Even if a blacksmith lifted his hammer or a cobbler inserted the needle into a shoe, he would leave it there. Some pious predecessors would appoint children and Ahl-ul-Kitab Zimmees on a wages at the time of Salah for the security of their shops and they themselves go to the Masjid. (Ihya-ul-‘Uloom, vol. 2, pp. 108)

میں پانچوں نمازیں پڑھوں باجماعت      ہو توفیق ایسی عطا یا الٰہی

میں پڑھتا رہوں سنتیں، وقت ہی پر      ہوں سارے نوافل ادا یا الٰہی

صَلُّوۡ اعَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                   صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

3. Form your habit to eat less!

Dear Islamic brothers! Another obstacle and laziness in worship is to eat one’s fill because when a person eats his fill, his body becomes heavy, eyes filled with sleep and body parts become lazy. He despite making efforts cannot do any work and thus becomes lazy in worship and recitation of the Holy Quran.

The cure for it is to form the habit of eating less than the appetite so that the pleasure from worship can be attained. اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, you will not become lazy in worship and it will develop the desire for worship. Ameer-ul-Mu`mineen Sayyiduna Siddeeq-e-Akbar رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ once said: I have never eaten my fill since I became Muslim so that I can have the privilege of getting pleasure in worship and since I became Muslim, I have never drunk (water etc.) my fill due to the strong desire for viewing my Lord. (Minhaj-ul-‘Aabideen, pp. 84)

Sayyiduna Abu Sulayman Daarani رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: I feel pleasure the most in worship at that time when my stomach is empty due to hunger. (Minhaj-ul-‘Aabideen, pp. 84)
