Why do we read the Quran? Presented by online Arabic teacher

 

An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky with his little grandson. Every morning, grandfather got up early, and sitting at the kitchen table, he read the Holy Quran. His grandson wanted to be like him and tried to imitate him in everything. One day the grandson asked: “Grandpa! I try to read the Qur'an as you do, but I do not understand it, and I do not understand, so I forget it as soon as I close the Book. What is the use of reading the Qur'an?  Online Arabicteacher wants to teach the peoples.

 

“My grandfather, who at that time was putting coal in the stove, turned and said: “Take this basket for coal, go down to the river and bring me back in the basket of water. The boy did as he was ordered, but all the water leaked out before he returned to the house. Grandfather laughed and said, "You will have to move a little faster next time" - and sent him back down to the river with a 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 fill in a bucket instead of a basket. The old man said, “I don't want a bucket of water, I want you to bring a basket of water. It's hard enough for you just to get water in the basket,”and he went out the door to watch the boy try to bring water in the basket.

 

At that moment, 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 seep out before he returned to the house. The boy dropped the basket into the river again and ran again, but when he reached his grandfather the basket was again empty. Out of breath, he said, "Look, grandpa, this is useless!" "So you think it's useless?" - said the old man: "Look at the basket!" And the boy looked at the basket and for the first time realized that the basket was different. It went from an old black charcoal basket to a clean, fresh one, both inside and out. "My boy, this is what happens when you read the Koran. You may not understand when you read the Koran, or you do not remember what you read, but when you read the Koran, you change both inside and outside."
