Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

Weakness and laziness are two dispraised traits, and it is reported that the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) used to seek refuge in Allaah from these two traits.

Weakness is failing to do what should be done and postponing it again and again. Laziness is feeling very unwilling to do something and slowing it down. It is for this reason that it is desirable to seek refuge in Allaah from them as they lead to missing out on a lot of good. Hence, we advise you to seek refuge in Allaah from them and supplicate Allaah earnestly, and we admonish you to have determination and resolution.

As regards quarrelling with your parents and not listening to them, then this is considered as cutting ties with them, and this is one of the grave major sins. Therefore, you should fear Allaah as the matter is very serious. A person who cuts ties with his parents is threatened not to enter Paradise. A prophetic narration reads: There are three kinds of people who will not enter Paradise, (and he  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) mentioned amongst them) a person who severs ties with his parents. In addition to this, some scholars amongst the Salaf (righteous predecessors)  may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  them said that Allaah destroys a person who severs ties with his parents.

Allaah Knows best.
