A seeker wrote, laziness and heedlessness persists. I humbly request for prayers (dua) for determination (himmat).

Hakim al Umma Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi (Allah have mercy on him) replied,

‘Supplication in this regards is not refused. However, you have to be determined to a degree yourself also. Supplication in these circumstances brings facilitation (barakah) only with it. Otherwise it will be similar to supplicating for a child without getting married. ”
