How many times have you said, or thought the words "I am too tired right now. I will relax a bit, then I will pray in a little while" when you have heard the adhan? Is that really YOU saying that or are you voicing the words that Shaitaan just whispered in your ear?
In the morning, when we are LEAST tired, we only have to pray a short Fajr prayer of two rakaas. the rest of the morning, we are not expected to be so tired, hence no obligatory prayer throughout the morning. At lunch time, its time to take a break from all the morning's work... so you pray Dhuhr... which relaxes you enough to last you the afternoon. Just when you finish work, feeling a little tired and stressed from the day's work, its time for Asr prayer. So you pray Asr. Then you go home... you are probably tired from your journey home... and guess what?? When you get home, there is another relaxing prayer waiting for you! SUBHANALLAH! Then finally, just before going to bed, when you need to be completely relaxed, you got a nice and long Isha prayer... along with the "waajib" Witr prayer to completely remove every ounce of tiredness from your body... and to get you relaxed enough to have a nice, comfortable sleep.
So, you still think you are too tired to pray? REALLY??? Maybe you are tired coz you have NOT prayed! So STOP listening to Shaitaan and making silly excuses that you are too tired to pray... Go and pray when you hear the adhan, and see how the prayer works like magic to get rid of your tiredness...
