Aula Árabe 4.13. The Imamate Within the European Context: Challenges and perspectives (FRENCH)
Thirteenth and final lecture in the Aula Árabe Universitaria 4 series, held in Madrid, given by Mustapha El-Mourabit, a member of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad (CAME).
Imams, in general, occupy a crucial, essential place in Muslim community life, due to the fact that they are both religious figures and social role
models for the community, as well as spiritual guides. Within Muslim societies, the functions of the imam could traditionally be summarized
as including the following: Leading the daily prayers, giving the Friday sermon and answering religious questions from the faithful.
The question raised at the conference given by Professor Mustapha El-Mourabit, a member of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad
(CCME), is how these functions are played out in environments as different as those in European countries, in historical, geographical, religious and sociocultural terms.
Though imams in general perform these tasks to the best of their abilities within the European context, El-Mourabit questions whether they do not suffer from the absence of two essential pillars in carrying out their tasks: training which allows them to have a proper feel for European society and a religious
education in accordance with European societies. Throughout his discussion, he will defend the idea that the imam’s position, as well as his prerogatives, in the European context are quite complex due to a whole host of reasons which he will talk about during his presentation.
This is the thirteenth conference in the Aula Árabe Universitaria event series organized by Casa Árabe, with the cooperation of the Master’s degree program and PhD in Religious Sciences at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. Representing those programs at the event will be Mohammed Dahiri, a professor of Arab and Islamic Studies at that university. The conference will be moderated by Olivia Orozco, Casa Árabe’s Training and Economics Coordinator.
The conference will be held at the Casa Árabe Madrid Auditorium in French, with simultaneous translation into Spanish. You can also watch it live online through our YouTube channel, in Spanish. The podcasts recorded during the session will later be made available in both languages.
Mustapha El Mourabit began his career as a university professor and later became a member of the Council of the Moroccan Community Abroad, based in Rabat. He has also been a president of the “Maghareb” Center for Civilizational Studies, as well as the supervisor of the “Islamica” European Institute
of Muslim Theology in Strasbourg, France.
