Lets read AL-QURAN...

A Beautiful story about QURAN.
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 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 when
you
read time by time . That is the work of Allah in our
lives..."
