what is your confusion, specify please.

I’m looking for a summary of what is being discussed in the video. I understood the example at the end, which seemed interesting. However, some of the Urdu used at the beginning of the video is difficult for me to understand.
JazakAllah

The summary is that pure religion is not very attractive to people generally. They need something interesting, celebration or worldly and material benefits from it to adopt it. A mixture of religion with some other ingredients of public interest is more popular. and the situation will never change.
-
So, is this a barrier for religion to be understood in its purest form? If yes, are there any examples?
-
-
yes. an example is our society, it is full of this phenomenon. Urs, Taweez, Wazaaif, mantras to gain prosperity etc. They are more popular.
-
JazakAllah Dr. Irfan Shahzad. But how do these practices stand in the way of us interpreting the Shariah, if they do at all?
-
-
They stand in the way of those whose interest is not what religion says actually but what they feel interested in.
-
JazakAllah Dr. Irfan Shahzad. Is this only a barrier for laypeople or for religious scholars too? I mean to say, is the way that religious scholars interpret religion affected by the way that people generally understand religion (as per the clip)?
-
-
The same is for all. You see how scholars react to a different opinion even if it is more plausible or better than their own.
-
Okay, I see. JazakAllah, Dr. Irfan Shahzad.
