However i cannot listen to sunni speakers although i like their manner of dialoque because i dont trust their sources of knowledge. But i dont understand why it is hard for me to be motivated by shia sources. In sunni lectures i want to listen to non sectariantopics such as how to get closer to Allah, how to be a better muslim , how to have khushoo in islam. Everytime i see an advert in the sunni community for a topic i am interested in such as how to get your duas accepted better iwant to listen to it but i cant not knowing whether whatever i am listening is right or wrong. But shia lectures are either imam centric or way too advanced or talk about topics already known about such as why to wear hijab or why to not listen to music. I am not saying there arent good shia lecturers out there but i dont understand why i cant get motivated in shia lectures even good shia lectures like other shia muslims.

Look for Shia lecturers who focus on the universal aspects of Islam, such as spirituality, improving one’s character, and practical aspects of worship.
Some lecturers make an effort to present content that is applicable to all Muslims, regardless of sect. Sometimes, the issue might be with the platforms you are using to find lectures. Explore different websites, YouTube channels, or apps that might offer a variety of speakers and topics from the Shia perspective. Use online Shia libraries, websites like Al-Islam.org to cross-check the information. Balance your learning between lectures, reading, and personal reflection. This variety can help maintain motivation and interest.
