Why do we read 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 aganot 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. That is the work of Allah in our lives.”

Alhamdulillah, bersyukur kita ke hadrat Allah S.W.T. kerana masih lagi mengurniakan nikmat iman dan Islam kepada kita semua serta menaungi bumi Malaysia yang tercinta dengan nikmat keamanan, keharmonian dan kesejahteraan.
 

Umat Islam di negara ini seharusnya berbangga dan berasa beruntung kerana usaha-usaha memartabatkan Islam tidak pernah luntur bahkan semakin rancak terutama ketika pasca kemerdekaan. Hari ini kita dapat lihat betapa pembangunan dan kemajuan Islam begitu menyerlah di serata tempat dan di pelosok negara tanpa menghalang seseorangpun dari merasai nikmat kemanisannya.

Sesungguhnya pembangunan Islam yang pesat di negara ini sama ada dari segi pentadbiran, pendidikan, perundangan, perekonomian dan sebagainya tidak mungkin dapat dihuraikan di dalam risalah yang kecil ini. Namun sekurang-kurangnya ia dapat menjelaskan beberapa kekeliruan dan tanggapan sesetengah pihak di mana kerajaan tidak pernah bersikap berpeluk tubuh atau berlepas tangan daripada perjuangan mendaulatkan Islam sepertimana yang diamanahkan oleh Allah S.W.T.

Adalah diharapkan coretan ini dapat menjelaskan kepada kita seterusnya mencetuskan kesedaran betapa perlunya kita bersama-sama berganding bahu dalam meneruskan usaha-usaha pembangunan dan kemajuan Islam di negara ini. Ketahuilah, tanpa kesatuan dan kesungguhan sesama kita nescaya cita-cita meninggikan kalimah Allah akan menjadi sia-sia dan angan-angan kosong. Pada ketika itu, tidak mustahil nikmat keamanan dan keharmonian yang selama ini kita kecapi akan ditarik oleh Allah S.W.T. Lantas jadilah kita menerima nasib seperti di negara-negara lain yang berkeadaan huru hara dan kacau bilau di mana rakyatnya menjadi hina, terseksa dan pelarian di tanah air sendiri.
