About: List of current Maraji

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

This article provides the list of Maraji (plural of Marja, the supreme legal authority or the source of emulation), followed by Twelver (also known as Imamiyyah) Shia Muslims around the world. The concept of a Marja-i Taqlid (lit. source of emulation) is central to Usuli Shi'a Islam. Marja-i Taqlids provide religious interpretations on matters of law and rituals. Ideally, the most just and knowledgeable specialist in the field of the Islamic law should become recognized throughout the Muslim world as the Marja-i Taqlid. In practice however this rarely happens and there are several marja taqlids among whom an individual is free to choose and emulate.

  • This article provides the list of Maraji (plural of Marja, the supreme legal authority or the source of emulation), followed by Twelver (also known as Imamiyyah) Shia Muslims around the world. The concept of a Marja-i Taqlid (lit. source of emulation) is central to Usuli Shi'a Islam. Marja-i Taqlids provide religious interpretations on matters of law and rituals. Ideally, the most just and knowledgeable specialist in the field of the Islamic law should become recognized throughout the Muslim world as the Marja-i Taqlid. In practice however this rarely happens and there are several marja taqlids among whom an individual is free to choose and emulate. Those clerics who reach the apex in the hirerachy of theological rank in the centers of Shi'a learning become Marja-i Taqlids. Since around 1940, Marja-i Taqlids are often referred to by their followers with the honorific title of Ayatollah al-`Uzma (Grand Ayatollah - "ayatollah" meaning "sign of God"). Among the functions of Marja-i Taqlids is the collection and distribution of religious taxes (zakat and khums). (en)
  • L'elenco degli attuali Marja' al-taqlid (Marjaʿ, pl. Maraji) contiene le supreme autorità legali, e fonti di emulazione secondo i convincimenti degli sciiti duodecimani (o imamiti) nel mondo. Il concetto di Marja-i taqlid (lett. "Fonte di emulazione") è centrale nella shi'a di orientamento Usuli. Ogni Marja-i taqlid garantisce infatti un'interpretazione religiosa autentica ispirata in materia di Legge e di rituali religiosi. Idealmente, il più dotto e irreprensibile dotto di Legge religiosa giafarita, è conosciuto con l'espressione di Marja-i Taqlid. Questi religiosi che raggiungono il vertice della gerarchia sciita erano chiamati fino al 1940 circa col titolo onorifico di Āyatollāh al-ʿUẓmā (Grandi Ayatollah). Tra le funzioni che devono assolvere vi sono la raccolta e la distribuzione de3lle tasse religiose (zakat e khums). (it)
