why we do read quran ,even if we can't understand a single arabic word?

just got this email from my old friends backhome...just to share wif you guys...nothing else...

This is a beautiful story of 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 Qur’an. 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 Qur’an 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,

"Ta ke 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."
