How to Beat Laziness & Stay Disciplined as a Muslim Student | Dr. Reda Bedeir

Why do we know what we should do… but still struggle to do it?

In this episode of Between Classes, we sit down with Dr. Reda Bedeir to unpack the Battle of the Nafs — the inner struggle behind laziness, inconsistency, procrastination, and burnout that so many Muslim students face.

This is a powerful conversation about discipline in Islam, self-control, and how to build habits that last — spiritually, academically, and personally.

In this episode, we discuss:

• What the nafs is and why it resists discipline
• The Islamic root of laziness and procrastination
• Why motivation fades — and what actually replaces it
• Building discipline through worship, structure, and intention
• Consistency in salah, studies, and daily habits
• Fighting burnout while staying productive
• Practical steps Muslim students can apply immediately

If you’re struggling to stay consistent, falling behind in school, or constantly battling your own habits — this episode will change how you see discipline.
