Why do we read the quran even if we can`t understand a single Arabic word?
An old American muslim lived farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning grandpa wake up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his quran. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate in every way he could. One day the granson asked, "grandpa!"
i tried 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 quran. 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 the water leaked out before 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 to a basket, and he went to get bucket instead.
The old man said "i don`t want a bucket of water; i want a basket of water.
You are not 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 get back to the house.
The boy again dipped the basket into the 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 its it is useless?" The old man said, "look at the basket ." The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized the basket was different. It had been transformed from dirty old coal basket and was now clean, inside and out.
" Son, that`s what happens when you read the Quran. You may not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, you will be changed inside and out. That is the miracales of Allah in our lives.
"Do your best, let them do the rest"
