Abstract

UDK 28-725:374.71

Systematic engagement in rehabilitating the institution of imam is presently imposed as one of the most significant tasks of in­tellectual community (within the Islamic community). It would include prevention of further derision of the role of imam, pre­vention of further deconstruction of his identity and providing appropriate schooling for imams that would enable them to fulfil their teaching and pastoral mission in our post-modern society, with a special accent upon equipping imams for the European context. Such endeavour is not accomplishable without a prop­er approach to education of imams that is based upon contem­porary methods and upon a new paradigm. This article reflects upon some pre­conditions that need to be met in order to make education productive, of good quality and in line with contempo­rary issues. It also offers some thoughts for creating a prospective study programme for educating a “European imam”.
