My point is that certain subjects are simply not meant for everyone. Its not in their ability to grasp it nor something whose details concerns them. Many muslims would feel sleepy within 10minutes into the lecture.

Ofcourse there are other issues which muslims generally face but do not pay attention or notice. Those issues would be addressed or if you think the imam has not given attention to it then you should bring it to his attention. He too has only two outward eyes like everyone else. And he can't he have his hand extended into everything.

Lectures would be addressed based on the type of population. Some just a need a spiritual boost. Some need some fiqh points on simple matters they face around them. And some needs to satisfy their simple curiosity and some just want to sit for barakah and quite happy to have listened to just one simple point. The more literate ones on Islam would need more but since they are comparitively lesser they would have to find places elsewhere or organise special lecture events on their own to satisfy their thirst. Meet the scholars privately and getting advise would do much to remove really mind troubling doubts. Everyone has their own 10000 questions to be answered which will never dry up until he meets the grave.

Another issue is that, what is halal is clear and what is haram is clear. What takes a person away from Islam is revealed and what takes a person closer to Islam has been revealed. So the scholars who understand this would not bring to the laymen issues that don'tt belong to this category and are instead subjects of study and investigation and unclarity in details, etc. So they are plenty of tehnical stuff we wish scholars would reveal and enter into because we seem to have benefitted from it or find it fascinating. But those stuff in reality wont benefit except a group of people.

Finally, when we complain we should remember that it is us who is responsible to provide and facilitate so that such ulemas rise who are built to engage with population. If they are out of touch, then we should be doing more to raise ones who are in touch. The gap should be filled by both sides
