Kenapa Baca Al-Quran Walaupun Tak Faham Maknanya??


Petikan ini dalam Bahasa Inggeris yang bertajuk: Why read the Qur’an when we do not understand arabic?

Saya copy terus agar tidak salah penggunaan bahasa saya yang takut membawa kepada makna yang lain.

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.
