The answer

If you listen to the sermon and do not understand it, you are still on the right path (or doing good). Some scholars have given a concession to those who do not understand the language of the sermon to occupy themselves with dhikr (remembrance of God) or reading, provided they do not disturb those who are listening. However, the best approach is to listen, even if you do not understand.
