Why do we read Quraan, even if we can't
understand a single Arabic word????

Here is a beautiful story

An old American Muslim lived on a farm
in the mountains of eastern Kentucky
with his young grandson.

Each morning Grandpa was up early
sitting at the kitchen table reading
his Quran.

H is grandson wanted to be just like
him and tried to imitate him in every
way he could.

One day the grandson asked, "Grandpa!
I try to read the Quran just like you
but I don't understand it, and what I
do understand I forget as soon as I
close the book.

What good does reading the Quran do?"
The Grandfather quietly turned from
putting coal in the stove and
replied, "Take this coal basket down
to the river and bring me back a
basket of water.

" The boy did as he was told, but all
the water leaked out before he got
back to the house.

The grandfather laughed and
said, "You'll have to move a little
faster next time," and sent him back
to the river with the basket to try
again.

This time the boy ran faster, but
again the basket was empty before he
returned home. Out of breath, he told
his grandfather that it was
impossible to carry water in a basket,
and he went to get a bucket instead.

The old man said, "I don't want a
bucket of water; I want a basket of
water.

You're just not trying hard enough,"
and he went out the door to watch the
boy try again.

At this point, the boy knew it was
impossible, but he wanted to show his
grandfather that even if he ran as
fast as he could, the water would Leak
out before he got back to the house.

The boy again dipped the basket into
river and ran hard, but when he
reached his grandfather the basket was
again empty. Out of breathe, he
said, "See Grandpa, it's useless!" "So
you think it is useless?"

The old man said, "Look at the
basket." The boy looked at the basket
and for the first time realized that
the basket was different. It had been
transformed from a dirty old coal
basket and was now clean, inside and
out.

"Son, that's what happens when you
read the Quran. You might not
understand or remember everything, but
when you read it, you will be changed,
inside and out. That is the work of
Allah in our lives."

But it would be a bonus if we do
understand the meaning of it and do
whatever been told..
InsyAllah
