Dought & clear - causes of apathy and theremedy for that.

What is the best solutionfor apathy in faith after a person used to
fear Allaah, then he became apathetic and can no longer read Qur'aan?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There are several causes of apathy and before dealing with the problem
we have to pause and find out the cause. There are several ways of
finding out the cause and dealing with apathy.
Some of these causes are: a weak relationship with Allaah, laziness in
worship, keeping company with careless people, being distracted by
this world and its delights, and not thinking about the end of this
world and the consequences of being ill-prepared to meet Allaah.
As for how to treat the Muslim who has been afflicted by apathy in
worship, there are several ways of doing so including the following:
1 – Strengthening his relationship with his Lord, by reading the
Qur'aan and pondering its meanings, realizing the greatness of Allaah
by seeing the greatness of His Book, thinking about the greatness of
His names and attributesand actions.
2 – Regularly offering naafil prayers and persisting in doing so, even
if they are few, because one of the greatest causes of the Muslim
becoming apathetic is when he starts to do acts of worship and does a
great deal in the beginning. This is not the way of the Prophet(peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and is not what he advised his
ummah to do. 'Aa'ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) described his
actions as ongoing, i.e., not interrupted or infrequent. And the
Prophet(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us that, "The
most beloved of actions to Allaah are those which are done
persistently, even if they are little." If a Muslim wants not to be
afflicted by apathy, then let him strive to do a small action
persistently, because this is better than doing a lot infrequently.
3 – Striving to keep company with righteous and active people. A
manwho is energetic (in worship and Islamic activities) will make you
more active and lazy people do not like activecompanions. So look for
active friends who striveto memorize Qur'aan, seek knowledge and
callpeople to Allaah. Friends like that will encourage you to worship
and will show you the way to good things.
4 – Read books that tell the stories of active people so that you will
have good examples in your journey towards Allaah. For example,'Uluw
al-Himmahby Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ismaa'eel al-Muqaddim;Salaah al-Ummah
fi 'Uluw al-Himmahby Shaykh Sayyid 'Afaani.
5 – We advise you to make du'aa', especially in the latter part of the
night. The one who turns to his Lord and seeks His help to remain
steadfast in worshippingHim and to worship Him well will never be let
down.
We ask Allaah to help you to do that which pleases Him and to guideyou
to the best attitudes,words and deeds.
And Allaah knows best.
