~A Basket of Coal~


بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ اﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم


السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ


...Ku menghulur tangan dan jemariku...
...Untuk mencapai sebuah kitab...
...Yang indah, bersih lagi suci...
...Demi menyuci dan membersih...
...Jiwa yang kian ternoda ini...


Dari shahabat Abu Umamah Al-Bahili radhiallahu ‘anhu : Saya mendengar Rasulullah shalallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda :

« اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَفِيعًا لأَصْحَابِه »

“Bacalah oleh kalian Al-Qur`an. Karena ia (Al-Qur`an) akan datang pada Hari Kiamat kelak sebagai pemberi syafa’at bagi orang-orang yang rajin membacanya.”

 [HR. Muslim 804]

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 read it, you will be changed, inside and out. That is the work of Allah in our lives.'

Alhamdulillah 

Dari Ummul Mu`minin ‘Aisyah radhiallahu ‘anha berkata, bahwa Rasulullah shalallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda :

(( الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ القُرْآنَ وَهُوَ مَاهِرٌ بِهِ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ الكِرَامِ البَرَرَةِ، وَالَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَتَتَعْتَعُ فِيهِ وَهُوَ عَلَيْهِ شَاقٌّ لَهُ أجْرَانِ )) متفقٌ عَلَيْهِ

“Yang membaca Al-Qur`an dan dia mahir membacanya, dia bersama para malaikat yang mulia. Sedangkan yang membaca Al-Qur`an namun dia tidak tepat dalam membacanya dan mengalami kesulitan, maka baginya dua pahala.”

 [Al-Bukhari 4937, Muslim 244]
