طبعا هذي أول مشاركة لي في درنة الانجليزية وهي قصة منقولة من ايميلي الشخصي
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.'
