💡How to make Dua?
Your dua shouldn’t be a traditional practice where you just utter the words of prayer, without realizing what you’re saying to Allah Almighty.
This kind of dua will not help you correct your intention. To benefit from your prayer, you need to involve your whole being in it.
Such duas break through the skies and present your desire and helplessness to Allah ﷻ. In his book the Attributes of God, Maulana Wahiddudin Khan denotes this kind of dua as a “Super Dua.”
A real dua has a power that makes Allah intervene in your matters.
However, with dua there’s also another thing that the Holy Quran wants you to do to treat laziness. You need to change yourself a little.
The Concept of Change:
“Verily, Allaah will not change the condition of a people as long as they do not change their state themselves ”
[al-Ra’d 13:11]
Thats’s why it’s true to say ‘the change begins with you.’ You have to change what is within yourself in order to overcome laziness. i.e., certain habits, patterns or even daily routine.
Allah will not change your Condition (your laziness) until you do it yourself. Allah wants you to look within yourself. He wants you to learn the Art of living.
So what stops you? You have to see what issues do you have which are causing you laziness and eradicate them slowly. But How? Read below.
5 Tips to Remove Laziness and Procrastination:
Say Bismillah and use the following tips.
1) Detect the Lies:
When you choose your task, your mind lie to you and give you excuses to procrastinate. You consider them reasons but they’re infact just excuses that your mind make.

2) Improve your Sleep Cycle:
The first excuse that would probably come to your mind in laziness is “Oh, I am sleepy. I should sleep for a few hours and then get my work done.”
You need to know oftentimes you aren’t sleepy, your mind fools you into thinking that. Contrary, if you sleep well in the night chances are there that you’d overcome laziness.
3) The Two-Mints Rule:
There’s a rule Invented by David Allen that says “you need to practice your new habit for exactly 2 minutes and then leave.” This tip is great to avoid Laziness.
When you are being lazy to do a task, tell yourself that I’ll do it for just 2 mints and then leave. You just need to force yourself for these 2-mints.
There’s a higher possibility that you’d end up covering a little portion of your work once you start.
4) Pray on time:
Start to form your habit of praying the Five times daily salah on time. It brings discipline in your life.
Salah saves your life from disorder or imbalance. If you push yourself to offer more than three prayers, it teaches you to prioritize important tasks in life.
