You are not lazy, you are exhausted: exhaustion vs laziness in Islam, Daily Taqwa
Muslim Youth Identity & Mental Health

You Are Not Lazy. You Are Exhausted. (There Is a Big Difference.)

In Islam, laziness (kasl) means you have the capacity to act and you choose not to. Exhaustion means your body or mind has run out of capacity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought refuge from laziness, and Allah never burdens a soul beyond what it can bear.
