Clean clothes get dirty through the day, in our environment of rain, dirt etc, so we have to wash them regularly. Same with iman. Dirt of world comes on it. (Keep place in house for salah and zikr, angels will congregate there.) Morning breakfast is food for body, but also need food for soul - it's malnourished.
So, how do we realise if iman is dirty? Don't feel like making salah, or any of Allah's orders. Says to those who remind, "don't keep reminding me all the time". Recognition and feeling for deen evaporated. Iman impure, and doesn't even realise it. No care for deen, just run after money and dunya. No awareness of deen obligations. Say "we're in this country, we have to do this stuff". Home full of sin, kids like animals. Don't want to go zikr Majlis, but prepare for days for wedding, no pardah, music etc. Iman gone to waste. Listen jumah bayan, has no affect.
We should consult with sunnah in everything we do. If don't know, Allah say in Quran to ask the "ahlal zikr" - not dry scholar, but friends of Allah, scholar who also does zikr.
So, what to do? Iman will get dirty, it's nature of this life, but need to clean it. Feel lazy, then clean iman straight away - like washing machine, sins will wash away. Its not jinn causing laziness, but dirty iman. Cleaning agent = TAUBAH. Repent to your Rab. You ask forgiveness from your father, since he has given you so much, so hasn't your Rab given you so much more?? Food, respect, body, life, everything. We spend our whole lives disobeying, feel ashamed, but Allah says don't worry, I won't put you down - merciful and extreme love. Small sign of this love - your parents, look after you as kid. So, however long you've been bad, no matter, come back to Allah and you'll come into His love.
Keep washing your iman with taubah. That's washing powder, but how about fragrance and conditioner? Want nice smell. That's what friends of Allah do. How? Do zikr in abundance.
