IN THE NAME OF ALLAH THE MOST GRACIOUS AND THE MOST BEAUTIFUL

      An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning grandpa wake up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Qu'ran. 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, " 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 send 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 basket instead.

 The old man said, " I don't want a basket of water. You're just not trying hard enough " 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 of 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? " Look at the basket." The boy looked at the basket for 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 outside. 
 " 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 outside.That is the work of ALLAH in our lives "
