(詳細はSunni Islam, an imam khatib (or just ''imam'' (アラビア語:إمام plural أئمة A'immah), (ペルシア語:امام)) is a leader, often the leader of prayers in the masjid, and the Muslim community. This compound title is merely a common combination of two elementary offices: leader (''imam'') of the congregational prayer, which in larger mosques is performed at the times of all daily prayers; and preacher (''khatib'') of the sermon or ''khutba'' at the required congregational prayer on Friday. Although either duty can be performed by anyone who is regarded as qualified by the congregation, at most well-established mosques ''imam khatib'' is a permanent (part-time or full-time) position. He may be elected by the local community, or appointed by an outside authority—''e. g.,'' the national government, or the waqf which sustains the mosque. There is no ordination as such; the only requirement for appointment as an ''imam khatib'' is recognition as someone of sufficient learning and virtue to perform both duties on a regular basis, and to instruct the congregation in the basics of Islam. Similar to spiritual leaders, the imam khatib is the one who leads Islamic worship services. More often, the community turns to the mosque imam if they have a religious question. In smaller communities, an imam could also be the community leader. The term is not to be confused with the use of Imams of Shi'a Islam, where it has a meaning more central to belief, referring to main leaders of the Shi'a community. The term imam is also used for a recognized religious scholar or authority in Islam, often for the founding scholars of the four Sunni madhhabs, or schools of jurisprudence ''(fiqh)''. It may also refer to the Muslim scholars who created the analytical sciences related to Hadith or it may refer to the heads of the Prophet Muhammad's family in their generational times. In other words, Imam Ali, referring to Ali ibn Abi Talib, is a phrase commonly used by both Shi'a and Sunni Muslims, though with different connotations.〔(The Rightly-Guided Caliphs & The Four Imams )〕 Those who are considered imams in the context of scholarly authority by Sunni Muslims, are listed below: ==See also== * Women as imams * Mullah 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Imam khatib (Sunni Islam)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
