Feeling low on energy and struggling to focus on your tasks is a common challenge in today’s fast-paced world. Often, we have big dreams and plans but lack the inner drive to act. This is not laziness—it is mental fatigue and a lack of direction. Fortunately, Islam provides powerful solutions through rukiyah and dua, which can help clear your mind, boost motivation, and make work easier.
Understanding the Problem: Mental Fatigue and Lack of Motivation
Many of us experience moments where we feel an inner desire to achieve, yet when it comes to acting, energy is drained. This is usually due to:
- Mental clutter and stress
- Lack of focus or clear direction
- Inner resistance or distractions
Recognizing this is the first step. It’s not a personal failure—it’s simply your mind signaling the need for spiritual and mental reset.
Rukiyah for Starting Your Work
A simple and effective way to begin any task is by performing rukiyah to seek protection from distractions and laziness.
- Recite “Auzu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajim” three times.
- Translation: I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.
- Purpose: Protects your mind from laziness and evil influences.
- Follow by saying “Bismillah tawakkaltu ‘alallah” once.
- Translation: In the name of Allah, I place my trust in Him.
Take a deep breath for 5 seconds after reciting. This simple practice clears your mind and sets a focused tone for your work.
Dua for Strength, Barakah, and Willpower
To overcome mental blocks and feel motivated, recite the following dua slowly three times:
“Allahumma la sahla illa ma ja’altahu sahla, wa anta taj’alul hazna idha shi’ta sahla.”
- Translation: O Allah, there is nothing easy except what You make easy, and if You wish, You can make even the difficult easy.
This dua is proven to relieve stress, increase focus, and make challenging tasks feel manageable.
Short Rukiyah to Refresh the Mind
When feeling mentally cluttered or overwhelmed, try this quick rukiyah:
- Place your right hand gently on your chest or head.
- Recite “Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, bi rahmatika astagheeth” seven times.
- Translation: O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, I seek help through Your mercy.
Within just two minutes, your mind feels refreshed, stress reduces, and inner clarity is restored.
Bonus: The Most Powerful Reminder
For moments when motivation seems gone, slowly recite:
“Hasbiyallahu la ilaha illa Huwa ‘alayhi tawakkaltu”
- Translation: Allah is sufficient for me; in Him I trust.
This acts as an “inner reset”, giving you a spiritual and mental lift to continue your tasks with renewed energy.
