The Concept of ALMarjiya, its Foundation and its General and Societal Implication "Summary Reading"

Abstract

Religious authority (MARJIYA) throughout history has had important roles in accommodating contemporary local and regional challenges, as it has developed the appropriate strategic planning to address them by all means as needed. Their jihadist attitudes ranged from peaceful intellectual and political response on the one hand to military and field response on the other. Also the MARJIYA has adopted religious, intellectual and political discourse in representing the patriarchal, common and unified role of the Islamic nation to defend the entity of Islam and stand up to the unjust ruling forces and the forces of global arrogance.
