00:00:00 --> 00:00:03 
			That I just want to remind you
00:00:04 --> 00:00:07 
			that we have not been hungry for
the Quran
00:00:09 --> 00:00:10 
			all year.
00:00:11 --> 00:00:15 
			We haven't been hungry for the
Quran, and today, in our days of
00:00:15 --> 00:00:20 
			fasting, our hunger is for food
and coffee and tea and water and
00:00:21 --> 00:00:25 
			but we want to be hungry for
Quran. We want to be of those who
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27 
			goes to the must goes to the
Quran.
00:00:29 --> 00:00:33 
			I just is so happy to have the
opportunity to sit and read it,
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37 
			smelling the pages of the Mushaf
00:00:38 --> 00:00:42 
			go to the Quran, hungry for a
recitation.
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44 
			Switch your hunger.
00:00:46 --> 00:00:50 
			Take that hunger that you feel for
food, and ask yourself today, get
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 
			curious. Why don't I feel hungry
for the kid?
00:00:55 --> 00:00:59 
			I know I'm not making enough. I'm
not full of the kid. Why am I not
00:00:59 --> 00:01:03 
			hungry for Quran. I know I'm not
reading enough to be full of
00:01:03 --> 00:01:07 
			Quran. Why am I not hungry for Taj
I know I'm not praying enough to
00:01:07 --> 00:01:10 
			be full of it. Why am I not hungry
for those spiritual things?
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15 
			Do I have a spiritual illness?
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 
			Do I have a spiritual illness that
is stopping me from that spiritual
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 
			hunger.
00:01:24 --> 00:01:28 
			So go to that spiritual self
00:01:30 --> 00:01:38 
			and fill that, find the hunger and
fill it and be hungry. This is the
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39 
			other thing.
00:01:40 --> 00:01:46 
			In other words, when we say be
hungry, we should mean it,
00:01:47 --> 00:01:51 
			which is, on one hand, be hungry
in the day. It's okay. Don't be
00:01:51 --> 00:01:55 
			afraid. Don't be afraid of being
hungry. Are you a little tired?
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58 
			Alhamdulillah for being tired.
Well, it's a blessing to be tired
00:01:58 --> 00:02:04 
			for Allah's sake, and also be
hungry spiritually. Be the person
00:02:04 --> 00:02:09 
			whose hungers for Quran, be the
one who hungers for dhikr, be the
00:02:09 --> 00:02:13 
			one who hungers for tahajjud, be
the one who hungers for closeness
00:02:13 --> 00:02:17 
			Allah, a real hunger that pulls
you along the path. A.
