Beutiful Story To Share

Beautiful story about 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 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 rea d it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.'

Alhamdulillah Cahaya Mata Baru

Alhamdulillah syukur atas nikmat Allah di atas penganugerahan Cahaya Mata Baru Kami yang lahir pada 4.24 petang, Rabu 12 Zulhijjah 1429 bersamaan 10 Disember 2008 di Darul Ehsan Medical Center, due yang sepatutnya 31 Disember 2008.

Beberapa rentetan peristiwa (sequence of event) sebelum kelahiran cahaya mata baru kami ini :-

02 December 2008 - monthly routine check up di DEMC bagi perkembangan Ibu (isteri ambo lah tu) dan baby di dalam kandungan. Dr kata baby insya Allah pada masa tu beratnya dalam 2.8 kg. Since bapaknya berada jauh maka terpaksalah kami merancang untuk tarikh kelahirannya. Dr plan 10 December 2008, maka kami pun bersetujulah. Dr kata kalau sakit awal maka jangan malu2 untuk datang terus ke labor room.

03 December 2008 - Ibunya dah terasa constuction...eh contraction...kami ke Klinik Aman, Dr kat situ kata hemm dah ada jalan tinggal masa untuk Baby baru ni nak kuar aje.

Lepas tu balik rumah ...hilang pulak rasa sakitnya....tunggu lagi....ada satu petang tu isteri aku rasa mcm sakit...kami sekeluarga di temani anak2 kami yang masya Allah itu datang ke hospital ...Masuk waiting room sekali lagi rasa hilang pergi lagi...hehehhe main acah-acah.

Kemudian ada sekali lagi main acah-acah.....datang lagi kami ke hospital ..test dan hilang lagi perasaan sakit tersebut...

akhirnya tarikh 10 Disember tiba....ambe dengan isteri datang ke DEMC dengan membawa harapan yang isteri aku insya Allah akan melahirkan anak pada hari ini. Sebelum tiba di DEMC kami bersarapan dulu kat Kedai Mamak (Restoran Pelita) kat Plaza Masalam....kelihatan isteriku masih mcm tidak ada tanda-tanda sakit untuk beranak. Hehehehhe sebenarnya dia nak makan aiskrim baskin robin tapi jam baru 9 pagi....mana lah baskin robin nak bukak ,,,,,kedai ais krim malaysia pun belum bukak kalau jam 9 pagi....

kami datang terus ke labor room...ini lah kali pertama aku tengok isteri aku sakit yang teramat sangat bagi melahirkan anak...tiga yang lepas alhamdulillah tidak nampak sakit sangat ...walau pun nampak sakit...itu pengakuan dia sendiri...dia bertarung selama 6 jam dan akhirnya lahir lah anak lelaki kami seberat 2.85kg tepat jam 4.24 petang. Ish...ish kesian aku tengok isteri ku ini.....tapi itu lah fitrah Allah yang mana isteri adalah orang yang melahirkan anak........

sekian untuk tulisan pada kali ini. Masa menulis ni kami kat dalam bilik di DEMC ....kat depan aku isteri sedang meriba baby baru kami...
