As Salaamu Alaikum,
I've got so much to do, but I'm so lazy and can't get myself to do any of it. Instead I spend my time doing other things, which can wait, or don’t even deserve the time of day. I’m speaking about college work, books I’ve been meaning to read etc. etc.
I realise the onus is entirely on myself, but I can’t seem to get the right frame of mind.
Any ideas/advice?

After going through a difficult period recently, I became like that for a while. Eventually I realised it was causing me no good so I had to snap out of it and went back to diary management and so far so good al hamdulillah, could be better but one step at a time inshallah.
:wswrwb: going to have to train yourself up a bit, force yourself, tell yourself u have no choice but to get up and do it, make a list of priorities to be tackled through out the day, and give ur self a time limit if necessary and im talking like 15 minutes cos if u give yourself a week ..it will never get done... have to be tough on your naffs and train them not to be so lame insha Allah
btw im not calling u lame i have the same problem too sometimes and i know how easy it is to tell urself to do it later..
wa alaykum asalam
I know what you mean, I have the same problem sometimes and it kills so much time ..i realized it was mostly to do with the fact that I needed more motivation/activity/stimulation ..whatever you want to call it lol. Switch things around so you're day/week isn't so routine..get a new hobby or something, that way you'll focus more in your life when you get to the bits you don't really enjoy. School's a drag but hey, I'd rather get myself off my behind then see a bad grade at the end which = even more depressing. Oh and it also helps to have people nag you. My friends help me out in that area lol. And of course there is also a du'a for protection against laziness in husnul Muslim. Here it is:
Allâhumma innî acűdhu bika minal-ajzi wal-kasli wal-jubni wal-harami wal-bukhli, wa a'udhbika min adhabil qabri, wa a'udhubika fitnatil mahya walmamat.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, anxiety and sorrow, and I seek refuge in You from the torments of grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trials and tribulations of life and death.

Incidentally I got lazy and quite bitter after I came out of a difficult situation myself. So much so I don’t even recognise the person who I used to be. I once was very active, always doing things, positive attitude etc. But nowadays I just laze around getting unhealthy and doing nothing. It’s shameful really.
You say diary management. How does that work? I mean is there a specific method or way etc.

Well since I was young, I used to record everything I did and everything I had to do, Everyday I had a different to do list which had to be completed on the day even if it meant my brain popping-I really followed it strictly and it worked a charm. I was very organised and it helped so much. But as I said, these past few months have been really difficult and hard :( and my brain switched of at one point and the rest is history. I have to move on no matter how difficult it gets. Easier said than done.

So I end up doing a quick fix job. Insha'Allaah I'll make a list of things need doing, in order of priority. Jazaak Allaahu Khair sister.

My friends help me out in that area lol.Yes, that's true. Last year I did only the bear minimum throughout most of the school year, and come April I got my act together and started working properly. I still managed to get the top grades in the class, but I could have done a whole lot better. That was disappointing. I like the idea of a new hobby, I can't be sitting on my computer, on this forum for the amount of time I am currently. Might as well start exercising again, since I’m getting so unhealthy.

Here it is!

:salams,
Do you have to say the last 2 bits (about protection from the grave and trials of life and death)? I'm asking that because I know that part as part of another dua, but do you have to say it as part of this dua for it to be fulfilled as sunnah and accepted?! Not that you are a scholar... so I don't know why I am asking this to you, but just so that I don't feel I have wasted my time: *hits Submit reply button*. :o

lool. Unfortunately I don't happen to know the answer to that, but it is a good question & I just realized I was thinking the same thing. (i never realize i thought something until someone else mentions it then I remember thinking the same thing..!). I don't see why that du'a wouldn't be accepted but i'm not sure if it would still be fulfilling the sunnah..since it's like half a sunnah lol. Just say the whole thing and make life easier okay :rolleyes:

NO! Because it makes life harder! I could just say half of that dua, and then say the other dua, or the other dua first and then half of that dua!
The dua I'm talking about is this one:
Allahumma inna na'udhubikah min 'adhabil jahannam, wa min 'adhabil qabr, wa min fitnatil ma7ya wal mamat, wa min fitnatil masihid-dajjal.

Yes I know that's the du'a you were referring to, it's the du'a read after the tashahud during salah. WELL THEN go ahead and say half of it if you're sooo busy you can't even say a few extra words. sheesh you complicate things! :rolleyes:

Even if you don't have it physically, in Islam, you gotta finish what you start and you told the institution you wanted to learn, and I'm sure they got some papers like a contract like the one I mentioned.

LOL, that actually made me laugh :rotfl:.
It's not about being lazy :rolleyes:, it's about not getting this dua confused with the other, so that I may make a mistake when saying this dua or the other.
And that's not the dua I recite after Tashahud, I recite the dua that the Prophet :saw: taught Abu Bakr (RA) to recite, which is the "Allahumma inni zwalamtu" dua. But I guess I could add that one too if I wanted.

lol there's noway you'll get those two du'as confused because they start off different. Just pay attention to what you're saying and you're an arabic speaker, no? I say that du'a after tashahud because it's a strong sunnah, I don't think I know the other du'a you mentioned though. What's the rest of it?

No I'm not an Arabic speaker lol, what made you think that?! People just making wrong assumptions of me all the time, nothing new :o. I can just read it, and understand a few words that I've been learning through this funny journey called "Life". Hmmm, the sunnah I would think is the dua I mentioned, not the other, since in the hadith, Abu Bakr (RA) asked him what dua to say and the Prophet :saw: told him to say that.
Wait I'll get the reference for it. Here it is:
Narrated Abu Bakr As-Siddiq [RA]
I asked Allah’s Apostle [SAWS] to teach me an invocation so that I may invoke Allah with it in my prayer. He told me to say,
http://www.makedua.com/i/024-57.gif
[Sahih Bukhari]
(Point at the transliteration to see the translation for each phrase)
Allahumma innee zhalamtu nafsi zhulman katheera
Wala yaghfiruz zunooba illa anta faghfirlee
Maghfiratam min ‘indika war hamni innaka
Antal Ghafooror Raheem
Oh Allah! I did great injustice to myself,
And surely no one forgives sins except you,
Bestow forgiveness on me from You and have mercy on me.
You are Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
What’s so special about this dua?
For starters, the one who requested the dua is the best of all the companions of the Prophet [SAWS] - Abu Bakr [RA]. The one who entertained the request is the seal of the Prophets and the leader of mankind [SAWS]. So this dua was given to the best, by the best…and what is the content of the dua?“Oh Allah! I have wronged myself greatly!”Subhan Allah! If Muhammad [SAWS] and Abu Bakr [RA] have wronged themselves greatly, where do we stand? If the two of the finest of Allah’s creation: the first being the leader of mankind [SAWS], the other whose emaan is heavier than the emaan of the entire ummah combined [RA]. If they have wronged themselves and they were so adamant in seeking the forgiveness of Allah and begging for the mercy of Allah then really, where do we stand?
How much more have we wronged ourselves in comparison to RasoolAllah [SAWS] and Abu Bakr [RA], yet we don’t have the same drive to ask Allah’s forgiveness and Allah’s mercy!
We should make it a habit of making this dua in our prayers after tashahhud, and at other times too. May Allah forgive us our sins and bestow upon us His Mercy, ameen.

Oh well i'm not trying to break any hidden learning contracts any time soon anyway. lol i assumed you were arabic speaking cuz you asked for the du'a in arabic :o I'm like you, i can read and write and understand some words.
I'm sure it's sunnah.. here I found it on islamq&a
Question:
Are there any du’aa’s which one can say in the final Tashahhud after al-Tahiyyat and al-Salaah al-Ibraaheemiyyah? If so, what are they? Some imaams stay for a long time in the final Tashuhhud and the people praying behind them do not know what they are saying.
Answer:
Praise be to Allaah.
It was reported that Abu Hurayrah said: the Messenger of Allaah http://islamqa.com/images/saws.gif (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When any one of you recites the Tashahhud [according to one report: when any one of you finishes the final Tashuhhud], let him seek refuge with Allaah from four things, let him say: ‘Allaahumma inni ‘aoodhu bika min ‘adhaab Jahannam wa min ‘adhaab al-qabri wa min fitnat il-mahyaa wa’l-mamaat wa min sharri fitnat il-maseekh id-dajjaal (O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of Hell and the punishment of the grave, and from the trials of life and death and from the worst of the turmoil of the Dajjaal (antichrist)).’” Saheeh Muslim, 588.
It was also narrated that in addition to seeking refuge from these four, one should also seek refuge from sin and heavy debt. Al-Bukhaari and Muslim narrated from ‘Aa’ishah the wife of the Prophet http://islamqa.com/images/saws.gif (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) that the Messenger of Allaah http://islamqa.com/images/saws.gif (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to say during his prayer: “Allaahumma inni a’oodhu bika min ‘adhaab al-qabri wa a’oodhi bika min fitnat il-maseekh id-dajjaal wa a’oodhi bika min fitnat il-mahyaa wa fitnat il-mamaat. Allaahumma inni a’oodhi bika min al-ma’tham wa’l-maghram (O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from the punishment of the grave and I seek refuge with You from the turmoil of the Dajjaal and I seek refuge with You from the trials of life and the trials of death. O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from sin and heavy debt).’” Someone said to him: “How often you seek refuge from heavy debt!” He said: “When a man gets into debt, he speak and tells lies, and he makes a promise and breaks it.” (al-Bukhaari, 833)
It was also narrated that the Prophet http://islamqa.com/images/saws.gif (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq a du’aa’ which he could recite during his Salaah, as was narrated by al-Bukhaari. Abu Bakr al-Siddeeq (may Allaah be pleased with him) said to the Messenger of Allaah http://islamqa.com/images/saws.gif (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Teach me a du’aa’ that I can recite during my salaah.” He said: “Say: ‘Allaahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman katheeran wa laa yaghfir ul-dhunoob illa anta, faghfir li maghfiratan min ‘indaka warhamni, innaka anta al-Ghafoor al-Raheem (O Allaah, indeed I have wronged myself greatly, and there is none who forgives sins besides You. So grant me forgiveness from You and have mercy on me, for you are the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful).’” (790). This du’aa’ may be recited in the final Tashahhud, after the prayers seeking refuge referred to above.
It was also narrated that after reciting the prayers seeking refuge, a person may recite any good du’aa’ he wishes, and may ask Allaah for anything he wishes of the good things of this world and the next. Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: the Messenger of Allaah http://islamqa.com/images/saws.gif (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When any one of you recites the Tashahhud, let him seek refuge with Allaah from four things – from the punishment of Hell, the punishment of the grave, the trials of life and death, and the evils of the Dajjaal, then let him pray for himself for whatever he wants.” (Narrated by al-Nasaa’i, 1293).
And Allaah knows best.

Oh well i'm not trying to break any hidden learning contracts any time soon anyway. lol i assumed you were arabic speaking cuz you asked for the du'a in arabic :o I'm like you, i can read and write and understand some words.
I'm sure it's sunnah.. here I found it on islamq&a
Question:
Are there any du’aa’s which one can say in the final Tashahhud after al-Tahiyyat and al-Salaah al-Ibraaheemiyyah? If so, what are they? Some imaams stay for a long time in the final Tashuhhud and the people praying behind them do not know what they are saying.
Oh OK, looks like they are both Sunnah :p. :jkk:. LOL, no you're not like me, since I can't write Arabic (maybe I can with a bit of practice, never really tried :p), can really only read it :o.
Wassalam.
Narrated Abu Bakr As-Siddiq [RA]
I asked Allah’s Apostle [SAWS] to teach me an invocation so that I may invoke Allah with it in my prayer. He told me to say,
http://www.makedua.com/i/024-57.gif
[Sahih Bukhari]
(Point at the transliteration to see the translation for each phrase)
Allahumma innee zhalamtu nafsi zhulman katheera
Wala yaghfiruz zunooba illa anta faghfirlee
Maghfiratam min ‘indika war hamni innaka
Antal Ghafooror Raheem
Oh Allah! I did great injustice to myself,
And surely no one forgives sins except you,
Bestow forgiveness on me from You and have mercy on me.
You are Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.
Jazakallahu kheyr bro, this du'a is new to me. There's a shorter one I say in salah though and it kind of has the same meaning as this one. It's: Allahuma innaka 3afuwun tu7ibul 3afwa fa3fu 3anaa. The rough translation being, 'Oh Allah you love to forgive, so forgive me.' I forget what the first part means. the "innaka 3afuwun" part.
As Salaamu Alaikum,
I've got so much to do, but I'm so lazy and can't get myself to do any of it. Instead I spend my time doing other things, which can wait, or don’t even deserve the time of day. I’m speaking about college work, books I’ve been meaning to read etc. etc.
I realise the onus is entirely on myself, but I can’t seem to get the right frame of mind.
ditto.
I'm glad I'm not the only one :o
Oh OK, looks like they are both Sunnah :p. :jkk:. LOL, no you're not like me, since I can't write Arabic (maybe I can with a bit of practice, never really tried :p), can really only read it :o.
Wassalam.
lol yes they are both sunnah :D Learning to read is the harder one so learning to write should be no problem for you insha'Allah :up:

Wa iyaki ukhti. I know that one, it's not the same lol :p. That's the dua to be said during Laylatul-Qadr more than any other time. Yeah that's what it means pretty much. "inni" or "inna" or "innaka" etc. are usually intensifying adjectives, it's to make it more powerful, like "verily" or "indeed" so it would be "Oh Allah, verily you love to forgive..." etc.
Actually, I found the proper translation: "In one of the prayers that the Prophet taught, he said, “O Allah, You are most Forgiving One, You love to forgive, so forgive me.” . We need Allah’s mercy and forgiveness all the time. It is wrong to assume at any time that one will find eternal salvation without the forgiveness of Allah."

Hmmm, that's our jihad for now me thinks, gotta beat the studies by being less lazy and striving for it, and then maybe we can go to Palestine and sort out a few Israelis after.
lol yes they are both sunnah :D Learning to read is the harder one so learning to write should be no problem for you insha'Allah :up:
:jkk: for the encouragement :'). So I guess we should be saying both duas?! I've learnt that the best dua to say is the one I mentioned throughout my life lol, though I did learn the other dua last year or so :o.

You didn't answer the main question, which is, will you be reciting both duas after the tashahhud now?! :eek:, I may just do that inshaAllah :').
Well I'm not exactly lucky, trying to learn the "lazy dua" :'). Maybe I might learn the debt dua too, clear the debts of our house quickly that way :eek:, inshaAllah!

LoL, you actually lead, how many times, where and how do you mean? MashaAllah, and Alhamdulillah :). Then just do the 2 Sunnah duas I guess more than anything so as not to cause problems for the followers.

Maybe i'll just say it when i'm praying alone, although it's hard to stop yourself from saying a dua once your tongue gets used to it in salah. lol i'm only the imam for the sisters salah in my school (since our prayer room is not where the bros prayer room is). I wonder who will take my place next year, can't wait till i graduate :inlove:

Learn to control your tongue :nono:, women :rolleyes:. LOL, no seriously you should be able to consciously control yourself inshaAllah otherwise that shows you're not paying proper attention in your Salaah :asta: :o.
Graduate? But you're not even in university, you weirdo :rolleyes:! :outta:
