State, Mosques, and their Custodians in Morocco

Abstract

What role do mosques play in people’s daily lives, and how is it possible to institute a reading that observes the relationship between the powers that run them and the authorities? This fieldwork needs to draw up a map of the network of mosques and how the functionaries have changed in comparison with the past of this institution of worship. There is also a need to extrapolate a formulation that corrects the pluralist doctrinal influence over the performance of mosques and the development of their tasks by observing the change to the job of imam (al-qayyim) and the avenues resorted to in carrying out their religious profession which ultimately delineates the features of official policy and the public activity undertaken by religious functionaries.
