Dar Al-Ifta in Egypt explained that overcoming laziness in worship begins with strengthening one’s relationship with Allah Almighty, highlighting that piety and avoiding sins are among the main factors that help a person stay active in performing acts of worship and drawing closer to God, as indicated in the Qur’anic verse: “And whoever fears Allah—He will make for him a way out.”

The fatwa emphasized that procrastination is one of the main causes of spiritual laziness. Delaying good deeds weakens determination, while taking immediate action and beginning without delay helps build consistency and discipline in worship.

It also highlighted the importance of supplication as a practical means to combat laziness, referencing the Prophet’s ﷺ supplication seeking refuge from incapacity and laziness, which reflects the role of turning to Allah for strength and perseverance in worship.

In a related context, Al-Azhar Fatwa Center explained that one of the signs of accepted deeds is that a person develops a love for acts of worship and feels tranquility while performing them, along with a dislike for sin. Additionally, the impact of worship should be reflected in one’s behavior and interactions with others.

Scholars also noted that another indicator of acceptance is a purified heart and improved conduct, along with adopting values such as forgiveness and tolerance, as disputes and grudges may hinder the acceptance of good deeds and spiritual progress.

Thus, overcoming laziness in worship requires a combination of strengthening faith, avoiding procrastination, consistent supplication, and self-reflection, until worship becomes a natural and beloved part of one’s daily life rather than a burden.
