i cant blv this but i agree with roberto.

there are sheikhs who only speak arabic or urdu. maybe u are fortunate to be in a community that has a shiekh who speaks ur language, but there is enough comunities where this is a problem. khutbahs, lectures, etc are only in arabic/ farsi or urdu. not cool for non arabic/farsi/urud speakers

the easiest solution would be just to get a translator. im sure it wouldnt be difficult to find one.
