a small inspiring story

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.'

Anni,,,good story,,,something is better than nothing,,,but if v read THE HOLY QURAN without knowing its meaning then v r likely to miss out the mrssage of THE QURAN,,,so understanding is a must to do better

I am jus wondering why moderators are not moving this story from this section if they can move my story at very first place?
And Anni was the first person to inform me that General discussion is a wrong section for stories???? Well I thing now anni and moderators are totally convinced tht I was right Twisted Evil

Anni,we have to learn reading Quran in Arabic firstly it is a language of Quran,the best language mentioned in Quran & so that the unity amongst "Muslim Ummah", the text & meanings remain the same.We have to understand Quran in our own language( we speaks or comprehend) that will me reading Quran with meaning & moreover we have to read "Tafseer Ul Quran" for its narration,explaination,interpretation & elaboration.We have to study different sciences & other subjects for the wordly purposses.We should invest somtime to know the real message of Quran.It is a complete constitution,a way of life & Deen of nature. [b]We will understand Quran in its real spirit when we have a interest for it & make effort to know about this "DEEn"(complete way of life.[/b]
