Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA.ir), ALGIERS –Algerian Minister of Religious Affairs and Waqf Bouabdallah Ghlamallah said Monday in Algiers that the imam shoud combine love of Islam and love of country.
At the end of the two workshops for the benefit of 140 imams and morchidates recently graduating to begin their duties in the provinces of Tizi Ouzou, Bejaia and Bouira, the Minister said that the imam should "be aware of his place in society" and therefore be "close to the culture of society.”
The imams attending these workshops, he said, "are called to play their role in mosques in the Kabylia region because they speak the Amazigh language," adding that the region of Kabylie is an "area of science and culture."
