A Beautiful story about QURAN♥
Why do we read Quran, even if we did not understand very well the Arab vocabulary
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 soonas I close the book. What good does reading the Qur’an do?”
grandfather, quietly put the coal in the stove and replied (Take the basket of coal to the river and fill it with water)
The boy did as he was told,but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfatherlaughed 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, butagain 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 did not trying hard enough,” and he wentout the door to watch the boy try in.
