Procrastination

If procrastination is part of your nature then repelling it becomes difficult. But when one knows that he has a persistant enemy he will always be on guard.

Some of the Salaf said: “𝗕𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹’𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀.”

A disciplined person prepares for his journey, while a procrastinator doesn’t. So when it comes time to travel the disciplined person feels happy while the procrastinator feels that he is in trouble. This is how people are. Some are alert, so when the Angel of Death comes they do not feel guilty. Others are not disciplined, so they feel the agony when it comes time to travel.
