Mengapa kita membaca AlQuran meskipun kita tidak mengerti
artinya?
Why do we read Quraan, 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 wakeup 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 Qur'an 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 bas ket 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 Qur'an. You mi ght 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.

Terjemahan bebasnya:
Suatu cerita yang indah:
Seorang Muslim tua Amerika bertahan hidup di suatu perkebunan di suatu
pegunungan sebelah timur Negara bagian Kentucky dengan cucu lelakinya yg
masih muda. Setiap pagi Kakek bangun lebih awal dan membaca Quran di
meja makan di dapurnya. Cucu lelaki nya ingin sekali menjadi seperti
kakeknya dan mencoba untuk menirunya dalam cara apapun semampunya. Suatu
hari sang cucu nya bertanya, " Kakek! Aku mencoba untuk membaca Qur'An
seperti yang kamu lakukan tetapi aku tidak memahaminya, dan apa yang aku
pahami aku lupakan secepat aku menutup buku. Apa sih kebaikan dari
membaca Qur'An? Dengan tenang sang Kakek dengan meletakkan batubara di
dasar keranjang, memutar sambil melobangi keranjang nya ia menjawab, "
Bawa keranjang batubara ini ke sungai dan bawa kemari lagi penuhi dengan
air." Maka sang cucu melakukan seperti yang diperintahkan kakek, tetapi
semua air habis menetes sebelum tiba di depan rumahnya.
Kakek tertawa dan berkata, "Lain kali kamu harus melakukukannya lebih
cepat lagi," Maka ia menyuruh cucunya kembali ke sungai dengan keranjang
tsb untuk dicoba lagi. Sang cucu berlari lebih cepat, tetapi tetap,
lagi2 keranjangnya kosong sebelum ia tiba di depan rumah. Dengan
terengah-engah, ia berkata kepada kakek nya bahwa mustahil membawa air
dari sungai dengan keranjang yang sudah dibolongi, maka sang cucu
mengambil ember sebagai gantinya.
Sang kakek berkata, " Aku tidak mau ember itu; aku hanya mau keranjang
batubara itu. Ayolah, usaha kamu kurang cukup," maka sang kakek pergi ke
luar pintu untuk mengamati usaha cucu laki-lakinya itu. Cucu nya yakin
sekali bahwa hal itu mustahil, tetapi ia tetap ingin menunjukkan kepada
kakek nya, biar sekalipun ia berlari secepat-cepatnya, air tetap akan
bocor keluar sebelum ia sampai ke rumah.
Sekali lagi sang cucu mengambil air ke dalam sungai dan berlari sekuat
tenaga menghampiri kakek, tetapi ketika ia sampai didepan kakek
keranjang sudah kosong lagi. Sambil terengah-engah ia berkata, " Lihat
Kek, percuma!"
" Jadi kamu pikir percuma?" Jawab kakek.
Kakek berkata, " Lihatlah keranjangnya." Sang cucu menurut, melihat ke
dalam keranjangnya dan untuk pertama kalinya menyadari bahwa keranjang
itu sekarang berbeda. Keranjang itu telah berubah dari keranjang
batubara yang tua kotor dan kini bersih, luar dalam. " Cucuku, hal
itulah yang terjadi ketika kamu membaca Qur'An. Kamu tidak bisa memahami
atau ingat segalanya, tetapi ketika kamu membaca nya lagi, kamu akan
berubah, luar dalam.
Itu adalah karunia dari Allah di dalam hidup kita."
