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 when you read time by time . That is the work of Allah in our lives...."

I would like to share this site for non-arabic Muslim to read qura'an with transelation. in every "Ayah" there is a question mark, click on it and then chosse transelate and then the language you want read through. and you can listen too. I hope it is helpful for my brothers and sisters in Islam. Qura'an

Your story is interesting. It inspired me that no useless thing when we read Qur'an although we can not catch what the meaning is. Even in hadits is said that if we read Qur'an we will get one goodness fom one letter, so if we read although just one sentence we will have goodness as many as letters in it. It is amazing, Isn't it ?
Thank you Mohammad,
yes you are right my brother ...we have to read Quran almost once a day to be close with
and to be as a habit ,
May Allah bless you too and all muslims ameen.
