Conceptual Framework

The social facts of globalization, transnational migration and the various interpretations of secularism have challenged the visibility of religion in the public sphere in “Western” societies. This has most importantly and urgently required religious authorities to revisit their organization, governance and internal hierarchy, which link believers and their community to God. Islamic religious authority is no exception. All over the Islamic world and Europe, Islamic religious authority is still struggling to negotiate its place among the institutions of the modern state. The imamate is one of the institutions that is experiencing a shift in roles and functions in society amidst these institutions.


This conference will examine the following major themes:

• Imams in Islamic scholarship: intellectual requirements and the scope of action within religious scholarly authority
• Muslim religious authority and their representative bodies in Western Europe
• The Muslim community's authority over the Imam: the social stratum
• The importation of Imams and their geographical distribution in Western Europe
• The prospects of developing "home-grown" Imams: mosques, Islamic schools, university departments of theology, and possible partnerships
• Imams' training and the job market
• Imams, politics, and the media
• Imams and civic engagement: ethics, spirituality, environment, social justice, multiculturalism, etc.
• Comparative perspectives: best practices of religious national institutions and Imam training in Western Europe
