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 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 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.'
