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."

good will be rewarded equally"*
