That there was a person,
that Indian,
who goes to France
to get a bachelor's degree.
But when he goes to France,
the language of instruction was French.
And this Indian, he did not know French.
So he used
to attend the classes religiously,
regularly. Whenever he used to attend, he used
to get a p.
P is for present.
Full year he attends the class. But the
instruction in French, he doesn't understand it. After
1 year, he appear for the examination.
The question paper is in French. But yet
he gets a p.
P is not for past, p is for
present.
But just by being present,
do you think he will pass an examination?
He does not understand a word.
Maybe
because he knows English,
like how many of us we know Urdu
script,
so we can recite the Quran. So he
can read some of the French without understanding.
Because the script of English and French is
the same. Do you think he'll pass in
the examination?
He gets the p. The p is for
present. It is not for past. That's the
reason it's very important
that we read the Quran with
understanding.
