“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” [Qur’an, 13:11]

The Prophet [ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him)] used to seek refuge in Allah [subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He)] from laziness that he used to mention it daily in this dua: “O Allah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being over powered by men.” [Sahih Bukhari]
