Tamara Gray – Where is our hunger for the Quran

That I just want to remind you

that we have not been hungry for the Quran

all year.

We haven't been hungry for the Quran, and today, in our days of

fasting, our hunger is for food and coffee and tea and water and

but we want to be hungry for Quran. We want to be of those who

goes to the must goes to the Quran.

I just is so happy to have the opportunity to sit and read it,

smelling the pages of the Mushaf

go to the Quran, hungry for a recitation.

Switch your hunger.

Take that hunger that you feel for food, and ask yourself today, get

curious. Why don't I feel hungry for the kid?

I know I'm not making enough. I'm not full of the kid. Why am I not

hungry for Quran. I know I'm not reading enough to be full of

Quran. Why am I not hungry for Taj I know I'm not praying enough to

be full of it. Why am I not hungry for those spiritual things?

Do I have a spiritual illness?

Do I have a spiritual illness that is stopping me from that spiritual

hunger.

So go to that spiritual self

and fill that, find the hunger and fill it and be hungry. This is the

other thing.

In other words, when we say be hungry, we should mean it,

which is, on one hand, be hungry in the day. It's okay. Don't be

afraid. Don't be afraid of being hungry. Are you a little tired?

Alhamdulillah for being tired. Well, it's a blessing to be tired

for Allah's sake, and also be hungry spiritually. Be the person

whose hungers for Quran, be the one who hungers for dhikr, be the

one who hungers for tahajjud, be the one who hungers for closeness

Allah, a real hunger that pulls you along the path. A.
