Request:
Assalamu wa alaykum ya Mawlana!
I do not know what’s wrong with me, I have no desire to do anything, I know I need to study and work but living with sleep and headaches, when they step into the doctor as they neurologist says I have nothing and I’m really worried because I seem to have a sloth that can not get rid of it the more I fight. Please pray for me.
Response:
wa `alaykum salam,
That is our normal circumstance, our ego loves to “rest”. The only way to oppose it, and this advice applies to me first, is by sleeping early, waking early, and doing all five prayers on their early time. In particular if you get up before Fajr for Qiyam al-Layl, Night Vigil, you will wake up later much more refreshed and ready to tackle whatever the day “throws” at you.
Shaykh Hisham will pray for you insha-Allah.
W ‘Allahu `alam,
