Asslamu Alikaum
Why do we read Quran, even if we can't understand a single Arabic word???? This 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. His 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 Qur'an 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 aganot trying hard enough," and he went out the door
to watch the boy try in.
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 breath, 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 Qur'an. 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."
